At my firm we normally organize our data by client (parent folder)>project and with Forma, it forces us to remove the client folder. With each project getting its own folder, it's creating silos and disconnects from the previous projects we did for that same client. I know I can bridge data from one project to another but there's still that level is disconnect we aren't used to seeing.    My thought was to create a new project in Forma and call it <Client> and under the Project Files folder is where I would create Project A Folder, Project B Folder, Project C Folder, etc... all having our standard file structure under that with their own data shortcuts.   Has anyone come up with a way to break down these silos and tell me why this would be a good or bad idea?

As we expand our older systems in a growing pipeline and retire old lines I am asked to divide the attributes from the shape files for a distribution line that is made up of multiple polyline segments but may be different pipe sizes and some steel, polyethylene, or PVC. When I bring in 1 shape file that has all this data in attributes can it be separated in layers and linetype, or does each one have to be created in GIS on a different distribution type (ie 4"steel, 6"steel, or 6"PE or 2"PVC ) to import differently?
