Virtual folders are nodes in the Casebox UI tree whose chidlren are determined and categorized using dynamic filters/facets on values of specific fields.

For example, if you have template person with a gender field. You can create a virtual folder called Person Gender based on that template and field. This virtual folder will automatically be populated with subfolders Male and Female (depending on the values of the field) and different objects of that template will go in either subfolder depending on whether their gender.
