Creating a new PCF file

Guidewire Studio displays PCF files in an organizational hierarchy. To create a new PCF file, you need to first decide its location in the PCF hierarchy. If the hierarchy does not contain a PCF folder at the organization level that suits your needs, first create one before you create your new PCF File.

PCF folder names are case-insensitive and must be unique within the PDF hierarchy. You cannot create a PCF folder name that differs from an existing PCF folder name by case only.
