# Active Folder Settings

Organisation Folders > <mark style="color:green;">**Active Folders**</mark> > Tag Groups > Batches > Tag Codes

## New Active Folders

Before an Active Folder can be used, the [Response Mode](/getting-started/response-modes-explained.md) needs to be selected. After [creating a new Active Folder](/getting-started/organisation-structure/folders/active-folders.md#creating-active-folders), navigate to the Settings tab on the Folder Detail panel. Select the chosen Response Mode and click Update to activate.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Active Folder Response Mode cannot be changed after being set. If in doubt, just choose Dynamic.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Active Folder Settings - Direct & Redirect

These are settings available across both of the Response Modes.&#x20;

### Folder Status

*<mark style="color:orange;">Folder Detail Panel > Settings Tab</mark>*

Changes the Status of the Folder and all Tag Groups, Batches and Tag Codes underneath. Options are :&#x20;

**Active :** Normal function.&#x20;

**Inactive :** Tag Code response is disabled.&#x20;

**Delete :** Will delete the Folder. All Tag Groups need to have been deleted to delete a Folder.

### Folder Name

*<mark style="color:orange;">Folder Data Panel > Core Tab</mark>*

Change the name of your Folder. As Folder names can also be used in Redirects (see [Datamerge](/features/datamerge.md)), the range of allowed characters is limited. Any update to the Folder Name here is instantly changed throughout the system.

## Redirect Response Mode Settings

### Test Mode

*<mark style="color:orange;">Folder Detail Panel > Settings Tab</mark>*

Test Mode allows you to see the decision process and actions taken during the Redirect. It is designed as an easy debug mechanism to understand, for example, how any Rules are being processed.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
We strongly advise not to use test mode once your project has gone live. If you need to undertake further testing, create a duplicate setup under another Folder.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Locus

&#x20;<mark style="background-color:green;">Module</mark>&#x20;

*<mark style="color:orange;">Folder Function Panel > Locus Tab</mark>*

Locus is a powerful feature that enables control over Tag Codes directly from an NFC tag scan using the ixkio mobile app. Some Locus features are now also available with Direct Response.&#x20;

To enable Locus, [activate the Locus Module](/modules/adding-modules.md).&#x20;

Note that Locus is still in beta. Contact us for further information on using Locus

## Direct Response Settings

### Templates

Templates are the page that users see when tapping and NFC tag in Direct Reponse mode. You can create multiple Templates and show different content to different users across different tags - or even different users scanning the same tag.&#x20;
