Instead of leaving newly created applications in the default Applications root node, this setting automatically moves them into a folder structure that better aligns with how you organize and manage software.

## Override Behavior

This option will override the global [Move applications to a specific console folder](https://docs.patchmypc.com/administration/configmgr-apps/options/application-creation-options#move-applications-to-a-specific-console-folder) ConfigMgr setting. This lets you group apps in a way that makes sense for your environment, for example, placing all Google products in a **Google** folder, or isolating test applications in a separate folder structure.

### Configure a Custom Folder

When using this right-click option, the **Select Console Folder** dialog allows you to choose where newly created ConfigMgr applications should be placed after publishing.

1. Right-click the **Vendor** or **Product** you want to configure.
2. Select **Move the application to a custom folder**.
3. In the **Select Console Folder** window:

4. (Optional) To create a new folder:
   * Enter a folder name in the **Create New Folder** field.
   * Click **Create Folder**.
5. Click **OK** to save the selection.

Use the **Refresh** button to reload the folder list observed in the ConfigMgr console.
