Generally, Data Walls are organized first by Scope (Me, School, District), then by folder.
Me
Walls defined in the "Me" scope are only available to be seen by the user who created the wall.
School
Walls defined in the "School" scope are available to any user who is assigned to the Currently Active School. Note: Data Walls cannot be scoped to School when "All Schools" is selected.
District
Walls defined in the "District" scope are available to any user in the school district.
Security
Scope determines availability of a data wall, but it does not determine what information users can see on that data wall. Instead, information displayed on a data wall is a function of user permissions and school access.
For example, a user must be in the elementary school to access elementary school information. Additionally, user permissions may limit access to students on a roster vs all students in a school, or even limit access to certain information. To learn more about permissions, see Managing Permissions.

Clicking on either the (1) "Data Walls" icon or (2) menu item will reveal the (3) main folder navigation page, similar to the Dashboards main navigation page.
