Commerce Manager has a very specific folder structure. Understanding this structure helps you modify existing subsystems and create and integrate new ones.

## Basic structure

The basic structure is as follows:

- **Apps** – Root folder that contains all Commerce Manager Systems administration screens, such as *Catalog System*, *Order System*, and so on.
  - **\[SystemName]** – Folder name of the system, such as *Catalog* for the *Catalog System*; files related to that system are stored there.
    - **\[SystemName].config** – Application configuration file that defines all views for the system.
    - **Config** – Configuration folder.
    - **View** – Folder with views; may contain any number of subfolders.
      - **\[ViewName].xml** – Specific view description for any view.
    - **Settings.config**
    - **Permissions.config** – Defines permissions for module.

For example:

```text
Apps
      Catalog
        Config (configuration folder)
        View
          Catalog-List.xml
          CatalogBatchUpdate-List.xml
          CatalogEntrySearch-List.xml
          Currencies-List.xml
          MetaClass-List.xml
          MetaFields-List.xml
          Node-List.xml
          TaxCategory-List.xml
          Warehouse-List.xml
          Navigation (folder for the navigation)
            LeftMenu.xml
        Settings.config
        Permissions.config
```
