The Product Directory tree organizes managed products into the following default folders:

  • Local Folder: Contains the New Entity folder and any custom folders you create

  • New Entity: Contains all managed products newly registered to the Apex Central server

  • Search Result: Contains all managed products that match the criteria for a basic or advanced search

Note:

Except for the New Entity folder, Apex Central lists all folders in ascending order, starting from special characters (!, #, $, %, (, ), *, +, -, comma, period, +, ?, @, [, ], ^, _, {, |, }, and ~), numbers (0 to 9), or alphabetic characters (a/A to z/Z).
