Scan Documents: FAQ
What is a File Cabinet?
A File Cabinet is a group of related Documents, such as all the Documents that would belong to one department or departmental function, one family member, or any unit within your organization that would logically own Documents. The following points are essential to understanding and using File Cabinets:
-
You must assign a Document to a File Cabinet at the time you scan or import the Document.
-
Each Document belongs to the File Cabinet in which it was scanned and cannot be shared with other File Cabinets.
Moving Documents between File Cabinets should be considered carefully, as the Documents must be imported into the new File Cabinet and removed from the current File Cabinet -- thereby losing all their indices.
-
Each File Cabinet has its own Folders, Folder Indices, and Document Indices.
-
By planning and creating your File Cabinets ahead of time, filing and retrieving Documents will be both faster and easier.
