Using the Document Manager > Organizing Documents in the Document Tree
Customizing Document Categories
You can group items in the document manager by category. Several categories are predefined, and you can add categories of your own. Documents that are automatically archived (letters, billing statements, HIPAA acknowledgements, and so on) are automatically assigned a category. You can assign any category to documents that you scan or import.
Categories are displayed in two colors:
-
Blue text:Blue text:Categories that are pre-defined by the software and distributed as part of the installation. These items have IDs in the range 1 - 1000.
-
Black text:Black text:Categories that are added by the user. These items have IDs numbered 1001 and greater.
