# Organize Dashboards with Folders

Use folders to group dashboards by service, environment, or team ownership. Folders also control who can view, edit, and manage the dashboards inside them — see [Folder Permissions](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/latest/administration/authorization/rbac/folders/) for permission configuration.

## Dashboard List

The Dashboard List view provides a centralized location to browse, create, and manage all dashboards within your Kloudfuse instance. From this view, you can add new dashboards, edit or delete existing ones, organize them into folders, and search by name, tags, or filters. Folders also support role-based access control for managing dashboard permissions across your organization.

The **Dashboard List** view lets you:

- View existing dashboards.
- Add, edit, export, or delete dashboards.
- Group dashboards into folders for organization and RBAC.
- Search dashboards using name, tags, or filters.

To configure who can access a folder, see [Folder Permissions](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/latest/administration/authorization/rbac/folders/).

### Create a Folder

1. Go to the **Dashboards** tab.
2. Click **\+ Add new folder**.

3. Enter a folder name.
4. Confirm to save.

### Assign a Dashboard to a Folder

You must choose a folder when saving or editing a dashboard.

1. Click **Save dashboard**.
2. In the **Folder** dropdown, select a folder from the list.

3. Click **Save dashboard** to confirm.

|  | Deleting a folder does not delete dashboards inside it. They return to the ungrouped list. |

### Why Use Folders

- Organize dashboards logically (e.g., by team, service, environment).
- Control access per folder — see [Folder Permissions](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/latest/administration/authorization/rbac/folders/).
- Improve discoverability and reduce clutter.

|  | Use consistent naming (e.g., `team-service-env`) to standardize dashboard grouping.
