Organize Test Plans with Folders

Create, rename, and arrange Test Plan Folders, and understand what happens when a folder is deleted.

Use Test Plan Folders to group plans by release, feature, team, or test activity. You can create subfolders and link a Test Plan to more than one folder.

Test Plan Folders and Test Folders

A Test Plan Folder organizes Test Plans. A Test Folder organizes Test Cases in the repository and can be a requirement in a plan. These are separate folder lists.

Create a folder or subfolder

  1. Open Vansah and select Test Plans.

  2. In the folder tree, open the more options menu for Test Plan Folders to create a top-level folder, or for an existing folder to create a subfolder.

  3. Select Create a Test Plan Folder.

  4. Enter a name and select Create. Use a name that is different from other folders under the same parent.

  5. Expand the parent and verify that the new folder appears.

Reorder folders or change their parent

  1. Expand the relevant folders in the tree.

  2. Drag the move handle beside the folder name.

  3. Drop the folder at the required position. Adjust its level to make it a subfolder or move it back to the top level.

  4. Check the resulting tree after the move has saved.

Dragging a Test Plan Folder to a new position

Moving a folder changes its organization; it does not create a copy of its Test Plans.

Rename a folder

  1. Open the folder’s more options menu and select Rename.

  2. Enter the new name and save it.

  3. Check the updated name in the tree.

Delete a folder

Deleting a Test Plan Folder also removes its subfolders and the plan links in those folders. It does not delete the Test Plans themselves.

  1. Review the selected folder and its subfolders. Note any plans you still need to organize elsewhere.

  2. Open the folder’s more options menu and select Delete.

  3. Read the confirmation and confirm only when the selected folder is correct.

  4. Check the folder tree and the Test Plans list after deletion.

If an action is unavailable, check your Jira space access and Vansah permissions with an administrator.
