The following table summarizes the folders that are automatically created when you create items in TeamConnect.

Certain folders are created automatically, the first time a user accesses the folder, rather than when the item itself is first created by a user. This helps keep the database clear of unnecessary folders.

Automatically Created Document Folders

New item created in TeamConnect	When folder is created	Path of automatically created folder	How folder is named	Folder contents
User	When users first access their personal folder by selecting Documents from the Go to list	Top Level/Users/UserName For example: Top Level/Users/Jack	Username (login name) specified in user account	Folder is empty upon creation.
