# Folders

**Folders**keep items in your database like fields, applications, or workflows organized.

You can create a new folder by two methods:

- Selecting *Other* from the **Folders**list and entering a name while we’re creating a new object
- From the overview page of a list of objects

> [!NOTE]
> 💡 You can create up to three layers of depth with subfolders.

## Create a New, Empty Folder

Use **Folders (manage)**to create new folders with a unique color identifier and custom tooltip. Folders can include subfolders with up to three levels of depth.

1. Go to a place where you can create a new object, like **Database → Fields**.**Fields are just one example of the many features that you can organize with folders*.*
2. Select **Folders** (**manage)**.
