Summary:
The document window in PIMSY performs much like MS Windows file management. However, you can still use the "Classic View" for adding and managing documents. Click on either Tree View or Classic View.
See below for Classic View instructions.
In the Tree or Classic views, folders can be created and files added to manage all documents pertaining to a specific section of PIMSY.
When a document is added to a Client Group, it will be displayed in each client's document tree.
Access the new Document window wherever documents are managed and stored in PIMSY. One example is the Documents tab on the Client Details page. In other areas, click on the Docs button.
You can also access Public and Private documents under the Utilities menu.
Instructions:
Go to any area in PIMSY where documents are uploaded and managed.
To create the first folder, right click on Document Type. The Document Types must first be created in Pick Lists.
DOCUMENT TYPE PICK LIST MANAGEMENT
To add or remove a Document Type, go to Pick List Management and select the Document Types tab (under Other). To remove a document type, select an existing line and click Delete. To add a new Document Type, select the bottom empty white row and add the Name, Description (optional) and select the appropriate additional functions, such as Add to New Clients. When you check Add to New Clients, the document type will be automatically added to a new client's chart. If appropriate, be sure the Document Type is Active.
TREE VIEW
The first time the Document window appears, there won’t be any folders or files.
If needed, click on the Notes tab at the top for quick instructions.
When you right-click over Document Type, a window pops up where you can select the Document Type and Add a New Folder.
When you click on Add New Folder, a new window appears where you add the folder name, optional description and Division. This folder will appear under Document Type.
To add a document, right click on any folder and select Add New Document.
The New Document window opens for you to add a Document Description and Browse for the file. Make Active if appropriate. Save. The new document will appear under the designated folder.
To add new main folders, go to the Document Type dropdown and select a different type or right click on an existing document type to add a new subfolder. Follow the instructions above for adding a folder and a file.
To delete a file, right click over the filename and select Delete Document. You can also View the file and/or Make InActive.
To delete a folder, remove all files in that folder, then right click over the folder and select Delete Folder.
To move a document, drag and drop it into a different folder.
The color legend indicates the current source/state of a document.
