Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * The special character is treated as folder creation          *
  * indicator, as this notion is used by many customers and      *
  * making its different would break functionality. Rather we    *
  * document it and any users want to use special char use       *
  * different ones                                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Basically the names having / within the asset names while    *
  * doing bulk upload causes new folders created and then nested *
  * automatically as long as there are many / in the names. Thus *
  * breaks use expected behaviour. We are doing to document what *
  * to be avoided in the asset names.                            *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• Basically the names having / within the asset names while doing
  bulk upload causes new folders created and then nested
  automatically as long as there are many / in the names. Thus
  breaks use expected behaviour. We are doing to document what to
  be avoided in the asset names.
