Folders

Every project organizes its test cases one of two ways: attribute trees (group by custom-field values) or folders (a manual, nestable hierarchy you build by hand). Folders are the familiar file-tree model; attribute trees are the Allure-style re-groupable model.

Choosing the mode

The mode is per project. Set it in Project Settings → Trees → Display mode — two cards, Attribute trees and Folders, each with a mini preview. New projects start in Folders mode; switch any time.

Switching is non-destructive. A test case always keeps both its custom-field values and its folder, so flipping between modes never loses your organization — it just changes which one drives the tree.

Working with folders

In folder mode, the Test cases tree shows your folders instead of attribute groups:

  • + Folder (toolbar) creates a new root folder and drops you straight into renaming it.
  • Inside any folder's inline create row, a Folder | Case toggle lets you add a subfolder or a test case (press Tab to switch which one you're creating).
  • Drag a test case onto a folder to move it there.
  • Drag a folder onto another to nest or reorder it (drop near the top, middle, or bottom of a row for before, into, or after).
  • Rename or delete a folder from its hover actions.

Moving cases in bulk

Select several cases (click, Shift-click for a range, or ⌘/Ctrl-click to toggle) and use Move to… in the bulk-actions bar to relocate them all at once. A folder checkbox selects every case in that folder's subtree.

Deleting a folder

Deleting a folder also sends the test cases inside it (and its subfolders) to Trash, where they can be restored. The folder structure itself is removed.

Flat list

The per-user Flat toggle (next to Display) ungroups the tree into a single flat list of cases — handy for searching across the whole project. It works in either organization mode and is remembered for you, not the whole project.
