File Documents: FAQ

What is an Index?
Think of an Index as any category of information used to index books, movies, etc. in the catalog your public library uses to organize its collection. Your library probably has an Author index, a Subject index, a Publisher index, an ISBN index and others to facilitate rapid and orderly retrieval of texts and various media.

The Executive Assistant® lets you create whichever Indices best characterize your Documents and Folders. In the View Documents module, you use index entries called Index Values (such as "Proust, Marcel", an author in the Author Index) to find Documents and Folders. For more examples of how Indices categorize Documents and Folders, see the Index Examples section.

A Document or Folder Index Value must be assigned to each Document or Folder you wish to find using that Index.

As a Document Index can be attached to a particular page within a Document, clicking on the Index brings you to the appropriate page.

Each Index belongs to a File Cabinet. Each File Cabinet can have 10 Document Indices and 10 Folder Indices.
