ALM Project Database Reference
td.ALL_LISTS Table
Description
Test Plan folders.
Remarks

For other system and custom lists and folder trees, see the LISTS table.

Folder structures are recreated with a self-join of ALL_LISTS parent and ALL_LISTS child where child.AL_FATHER_ID = parent.AL_ITEM_ID.  For top level nodes, AL_FATHER_ID = 0.

In addition, each child node inherits the AL_ABSOLUTE_PATH of its parent node and appends three more characters. For example, the children of the node with path AAA have paths AAAAAA, AAAAAB, AAAAAC, and so on.

The characters V and W are not used.
