What is the most efficient way of organizing AGOL content?

[MatthewBeal]

I only have a small organization to worry about with ~ 200 items or so between all users but I'm still fed up with how cluttered our AGOL organization feels. The lack of subfolders is just baffling to me. I'm sure there is probably a reason it hasn't been implemented, but having only one folder level to work with is just awful.

I have one dashboard that is a combination of 5 other dashboards. Trying to remember which one I need to edit every time is just annoying. I've started including a prefix of "1 - " on the main one and "2 - " on the sub-dashboards, but if I had additional folders, I could group the sub-dashboards together and leave the primary one up one level, leaving only one option to work with, but just not possible with the current implementation. Does anyone have any tips for better organizing your AGOL data?

Any good white pages on effective strategies for cleaning up your org's data?

There are a few options:

• Naming conventions
• Tags
• Categories
• Groups
• Item metadata/settings - i.e. marking content as authoritative + having thumbnails

Categories is the closest thing to what you are asking for. But using groups is also useful; you can share items to groups to help give access and organize content.

There may be some resources for all or some of the above items e.g

For subfolders, please vote for this idea and add a comment as to why it is important for your organization:
