Hello - We are looking at using Box as our storage for employment records. We need to be able to have a folder for each employee and it needs to be structured the same (sub folders, etc). Is there a way to assign a folder template to any new employee records we need to create?

Hi AJ,

I'm not seeing the answer on that page. What I'm asking is if I can create a folder template and duplicated it. I don't want to have to re-create the folder structure for all 400 employees records. 

I want to have a "active employee" folder that contains one template:

Employee Name

  • Payroll
  • Benefits
  • Corrective Action
  • Incidents
  • Etc... 

And automatically apply that template to any folder created in the "active employee" folder. 

Hope I'm making that clear!
