Organize Automation Projects Like Files

Create folders, move projects, and keep every workflow in a structure that fits how you work.

Why Folder Organization Matters

A small automation library fits in a simple list. As you build more workflows, that list becomes crowded and slow to navigate. You spend time searching for the right project instead of running it. Folders restore structure by grouping related projects under meaningful names.

RTILA X lets you create folders, assign projects, and rearrange them as your work changes. A freelancer might group projects by client. An internal team might use folders for departments or campaigns. A reseller might keep source projects separate from client builds.

Structuring by Client or Workflow

The best structure matches how you already think about your work. If you bill by client, client folders keep everything for each customer in one place. If you build many similar automations, grouping by workflow type may be more useful.

Folders can be combined with naming conventions and project descriptions to create a system that is easy to scan. There is no single required structure; the goal is to reduce the time between opening RTILA X and finding the project you need.

Moving Projects Safely

Project movement does not break internal settings. Variables, integrations, selectors, and schedules all remain attached to the project when you drag it into a new folder. The folder is an organizational layer, not a runtime dependency.

This safe movement encourages experimentation. You can start with a simple structure and reorganize later without fear of losing configuration.

Using Folders for Source and Client Builds

Resellers and agencies often need a clear separation between source automations and exported products. A dedicated folder for source masters helps you know which project is the original. Separate folders for compiled builds, client-branded exports, and experimental prototypes keep the working area clean.

Over time, folder habits reduce mistakes. You always know where to find the master workflow, which version is current, and where a client deliverable came from.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move a project without breaking its settings?
Yes. Project settings and data connections remain intact when a project is moved between folders.
Can I nest folders inside other folders?
RTILA X supports a clean folder hierarchy for grouping projects. Check the latest documentation for nesting depth.
Do folders affect imported projects?
Imported projects can be assigned to any folder during import or afterward.
