# Insert Folders and Assets

The connector's insert fetch action inserts information into OpenText Media Management.

To use the `insert` action, you must construct some XML that specifies how and where to add the item, and the information to insert. You must add the XML to the action as the value of the `insertXML` action parameter.

The XML contained in the `insertXml` parameter must be URL encoded before being used in the action command. For example:

    http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Insert
                                 &ConfigSection=MyTask
                                 &InsertXML=[URL encoded XML]

## Insert a Folder

To insert a folder into OpenText Media Management, your XML must include the following properties:

Type | Required | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Property | Yes | `PARENT_FOLDER_ID` | The folder in which to create the new folder.
Property | Yes | `SECURITY_POLICY` | The security policy for the new folder. This property is required, but you can specify a default value by setting the configuration parameter DefaultSecurityPolicy.
Property | Yes | `NAME` | The name of the new folder.
Property | No | `FOLDER_TYPE` | The type of folder to insert. The default value is `ARTESIA.BASIC.FOLDER`.

For example:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <reference>InsertFolder</reference>

        <!-- required -->
        <property name="PARENT_FOLDER_ID" value="..."/>
        <property name="SECURITY_POLICY" value="1"/>
        <property name="NAME" value="MyFolder"/>

        <!-- optional -->
        <property name="FOLDER_TYPE" value="ARTESIA.BASIC.FOLDER"/>
        <xmlmetadata>
            <Basic_Folder_Information>
                <Description>Inserted folder description</Description>
            </Basic_Folder_Information>
        </xmlmetadata>

      </insert>
    </insertXML>

Type | Required | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Property | Yes | `PARENT_FOLDER_ID` | The folder in which to insert the asset.
Property | Yes | `SECURITY_POLICY` | The security policy for the new asset. This property is required, but you can specify a default value by setting the configuration parameter DefaultSecurityPolicy.

        <!-- optional -->
        <property name="MIME_TYPE" value="text/plain"/>
        <property name="METADATA_MODEL" value="ARTESIA.MODEL.DEFAULT"/>

        <xmlmetadata>

      </insert>
    </insertXML>
