Novell Vibe enables you to create folder entries in any folder where you have appropriate rights. If you do not have appropriate rights in a folder, you are not able to create an entry as described in this section.
Navigate to the folder where you want to create the entry.
In the Folder Entry toolbar, click the appropriate item to add the entry. For example, to add a blog entry in the Blog folder, click .
The Blog Entry page is launched.
Specify the appropriate information in the Entry page. For more detailed information on the fields, see Section 7.1.1, Filling In the Entry Form.
Click .
The entry is added to the folder.
Although the process for creating a folder entry is similar for each type of entry (file entry, calendar entry, discussion entry, etc.), the Entry form can vary considerably.
Because Vibe is highly customizable, field names in the Entry form can be defined and changed by Vibe administrators and other Vibe users who create forms. This section contains a list of named fields for the various default entry types. For more information on creating custom forms, see Designing Custom Folder Entry Forms
in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 Advanced User Guide.
