# 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.

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.

```bash
$ cd /Users/bmuschko/.jenkins/jobs/freestyle/jobs
$ tree my-freestyle-job
