Using Folders to Organise a Real Filing Cabinet

What Folders Do

Folders are the cabinet's organising unit. Each folder groups related items so you do not have to scroll through one long list. When you add items to the cabinet, they are placed into folders based on their type.

Organising Your Cabinet

1. Open the Real Filing Cabinet interface.

2. Add items to the cabinet.

3. Check which folder each item landed in.

4. Move items between folders if you want a different grouping.

5. Remove a folder when it is empty to keep the cabinet tidy.

Auto Item Folder

An auto item folder handles incoming items for you. Instead of placing each stack by hand, route items into the cabinet and let the auto item folder sort them into the correct folder. This is useful when the cabinet is fed by a hopper or a larger storage network.

Keeping It Manageable

• Use one folder per item category.
• Empty folders take up space, so clear them out.
• Label folders clearly if your setup supports it.

With folders in place, the cabinet scales from a small personal store to a large sorted inventory without extra chests.
