About Cabinets & Drawers

 

Cabinets & Drawers allow you to organize and secure your electronic documents.  They are structured in a manner similar to that of a traditional, physical cabinet and drawers.  Documents are placed directly inside the cabinet or can be placed into a drawer inside the cabinet.  For example, you can organize your bills into your Accounts Payable cabinet, or you may also file them into the purchase receipt drawer inside of your Accounts Payable cabinet.

 

Cabinets and drawers contain important settings which allow documents to be kept safe, limiting access to certain users.  They also ensure organization, by allowing only certain types of documents to be filed in the cabinet, and establishing document naming conventions.  A number of cabinets and drawers have been provided for your use, and you can add your own as necessary.

 

This feature requires activation in Setup Optional Features.  Please note that this feature may not be included in your software license.
