# 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)**.

3. Select **Add Fields Folder,** or create a new subfolder within an existing folder by clicking the `+` at the right of the row.
4. Configure the following settings for your new folder:
  - **Color:** Click the color swatch to open the color selection menu. Choose a predefined color, enter a hex code, or use the slider bar. When you've decided on a color, select **Choose.**
  - **Name:** Enter a name for your folder.
  - **Description:** Enter a description for your folder.
  - **Tooltip:** Enter text up to 100 characters that will appear when hovering your mouse over the folder name.
