Instructions for creating a shared folder in GOBI.

Go to the Folders menu on the blue leading bar and click on the “Manage Library Folders” drop down.

Scroll down the list of folders and find the folder you want to share (example is that of the F-REF folder). Click on the gray “no”. The screen will then refresh.

Look to see that the no has changed to yes.

Then when you go to order anything and you click to add the item to the folder, you will see the shared folder in the drop down menu, like your other fund folders.
