Retrieve the **folderId** by calling the [/v2/files](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-files) endpoint and reviewing the `id` field in the response for files with a `type` of `folder`. ### Usage scenarios - **Reliable export formatting**: Users can quickly generate a new blank report to create predictable, paginated exports. ### Best practices - **Naming conventions**: Establish and follow consistent naming conventions for reports to make it easier to manage and identify them within larger projects. - **Folder organization**: Use the **folderId** to organize reports into relevant folders, which helps in maintaining a tidy workspace, especially in environments with multiple users or teams. - **Access control**: Regularly review and manage access permissions for new reports, ensuring that only the appropriate personnel can view or edit sensitive data.
