Key concepts
Within the Test Plan Board screen you can see some meta-folders that provide you quick ways to see or filter some relevant Tests. These folders are read-only and will be used mainly as basis to select the proper Tests before adding them to folders within the Test Repository itself.
...
In a given parent folder, it is not allowed to have folders with similar names. For this, Xray does a case-insentive check of the trimmed folder name whenever you create or rename folder in order to evaluate if a similar folder already exists within its parent. This means that these folder names would all be considered to be the same: " phanTom", "phantom", "PHANTOM". Please note that it is not allowed to use the "/" in the folder name.
