How to organize apps and tables into folders to make navigation easier for your team

Folders in Jestor work a lot like a computer's desktop — they let you group tables, apps, and other elements related to the same process.

Notion, with pages and subpages, and ClickUp, with spaces and folders, also organize content this hierarchical way, and that's where Jestor stands out: these folders live alongside tables, apps, and automations from the same operational data base.

Why does organizing apps and tables into folders matter?

As the number of tables and apps grows, leaving them scattered makes it harder to find what needs editing without relying on search every time.

How to organize apps and tables into folders in Jestor?

A folder can be created empty and populated later, or already receive tables and apps as they're created.
To add an existing element to a folder, just open the folder, use the edit option, and choose "add."
A folder can bring together both a kanban's pages and the tables connected to it.
Folders can be renamed or deleted at any time, without affecting the content that was inside them.

Action	Affects the content inside?
Rename folder	No
Delete folder	No, content stays outside the folder

To organize apps and tables into folders:

Trigger the create-folder command from the navigation bar or the build button.
Name the folder.
Add existing tables and apps using the folder's edit option.

Why choose Jestor to keep navigation organized?

Having everything grouped by process avoids the feeling of clutter from loose files and speeds up finding what needs editing.
