3 tiered structure for Canned Responses

We decided to recategorize all our canned responses and use a tiered folder structure, because the bugs in FD's text search algorithm have made it increasingly difficult for us to find the CRs that we're after.


We're finally almost done with our recategorization project, but we can't figure out how to move the subfolders into the parent folders. We can select and move the individual CRs, but not the folders. So right now, all our folders just appear in a flat list, instead of being tiered. Please let me know how we can do it, thanks!

Sorry, I just realized that the subject line doesn't match the body text.  Sorry -- please ignore the subject line!


Hi Jeremy,


Could you please highlight the issue with a couple of screenshots here, so that I could understand it better. Sorry for the troubles.

I'm not sure how I can show you a picture of what I can't do, but here's a screenshot of our CR categories as they are now.  As you can see, all the main categories (starting with the tilde ~) are all empty, because we can't figure out how to move the subcategories into the main categories.  As I said, we want to adopt a tiered folder structure, as we're having difficulty quickly navigating to the CRs we need.

Hello Jeremy,


The canned response structure is two-tiered ( Folder -> Canned response items ) . Hence,I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to move the subfolders to the main folder . The only possible option is to move all the canned response items from the sub-folder to the main folder.


Cheers!

Well that is very disappointing. We will look into third party solutions for our CR's but I hope that this is addressed in the future.

So you can´t delete an empty folder?

@Davi: It is possible to delete a canned response folder.


@Jeremywas looking for an option to use a 3 tiered structure for canned responses.
