+# Solution
+
+We'll start by creating the new freestyle job.
+
+![New Freestyle Job](./images/new-freestyle-job.png)
+
+Configure the job as follows.
+
+![Job Configuration](./images/job-configuration.png)
+
+The build will ask for a parameter value when triggered.
+
+![Build with Parameters](./images/build-with-params.png)
+
+The build history only stores the previous two builds.
+
+![Build History](./images/build-history.png)
+
+Create a new view.
+
+![New View](./images/new-view.png)
+
+After adding the job to the view, it will show up in a separate tab.
+
+![Job in View](./images/job-in-view.png)
+
+Create a new folder.
+
+![New Folder](./images/new-folder.png)
+
+The job became a child of the folder after moving it there.
+

+
+Navigating to the `job` directory under the Jenkins Home reveals the build history.
