Overview of Folders

In Teachme Biz, folders are used to organize and categorize manuals within a group.
By adding users to folders, you can grant them permission to view and edit manuals within those folders.

Frequently Asked Questions

I logged into Teachme Biz but cannot see any manuals

  • You may not have been added to any folders as a viewer or editor. Please check with your administrator.
  • Folders may be hidden due to the Folder IP Restriction function.
    • If Folder IP Restrictions are being used, folders will not be displayed unless accessed from an allowed IP address. Please check the network you're using.
    • Please check with your administrator regarding the usage status of Folder IP Restrictions and the allowed IP addresses.

I can view manuals, but the manual edit button is not displayed

  • You may not be participating in any folders as an editor. Please consult with your administrator about changing your permissions in your folders (from viewer to editor).
  • If the manual edit button is not displayed only in the mobile app, the latest permission settings may not have been reflected in the mobile app. Please try logging out and then logging in again.
