Hierarchy Options
You can migrate your source Exchange Public Folder hierarchy to the target SharePoint environment as part of a basic migration. You can also create a sub-site/sub-folder hierarchy based on the number of items in each Public Folder "container."
NOTE: Content Matrix supports target URLs for Public Folders migrated to SharePoint Online of up to 400 characters, which is the maximum length that SharePoint Online allows.
See Creating a Target Hierarchy for more details.
To configure Hierarchy Options:
1.Chose the appropriate Hierarchy creation type; that is, whether you want Metalogix Content Matrix to create the folder hierarchy under the target SharePoint node as:
§Subsites
OR
§Folders
2.For Split containers after:, specify the maximum number of items to be migrated into one container (a document library, folder, etc.).
NOTE: If the number of items in the source container exceeds the number specified, Metalogix Content Matrix will create a new container at the same level.
