# Create the Storage class

Define the storage class for the VFS of the file routing.

Go to **Setup** → **Storage Classes** and click the **NEW** button.

In the **New Storage Class** window, fill in these fields:

* **Name \*** and **Description**.
* The **Location Type \*** must be Local File System.
  * In **Internal files location** enter the physical path where INTERNAL files must be saved. The path must begin with a "/". This is the working directory for the file routing and it must be configured in the shared area of the STENGs, e.g., **/share/appl/filerouting/int**.
* In **External files location** enter the physical path where EXTERNAL files must be saved. The path must begin with a "/". It must be in the shared area of the STENGs, e.g., **/share/appl/filerouting**.
* In **Temporary files location** enter the physical path where incoming files will be temporarily saved before their transfer is completed. The path must begin with a "/". It must be in the shared area of the STENGs, e.g., **/share/appl/filerouting/tmp**.

Click **SAVE** to create your Storage Class.

The storage class directory **(/share/appl/filerouting**) must be the same directory configured in the workareaPath parameter of the Contract. In the case of clusters, this same directory must be stored in the file system or directory shared by the STENGs in the cluster.
