Questions about working with folders

What is a folder?

A folder unites tasks that revolve around a common topic or activity. A folder may represent a project, product, event, department, branch, office, etc. Each folder can consist of hierarchy of subfolders and tasks, so your plan is organized logically. Thanks to that, you get a clear visibility on your operations and easy access to every task. Thanks to Wrike's flexibility, each subfolder and task can be included in several parent folders. This allows you to group your plans in several ways, e.g. by client, by department or by the responsible party.
