Working with Files using the Document Management Toolbar
Users are able to perform a variety of actions on selected documents when viewing lists of the files stored in the document management system.
All possible batch actions appear either as icons (Filehold Desktop Application) or as a list on the toolbar of FileHold’s document management system web client.
(FileHold Desktop Application)
(Web Client)
Actions are initiated by selecting the file(s) and clicking on the appropriate action on the toolbar section of the document management system.
Note: To select a file when using the FDA (FileHold Desktop Application) to access the record management system simply highlights the file(s). When accessing the records management system from the web client place a checkmark next to the file(s). The following actions can be performed on one or more files at a time. The availability of actions is dependent on the rights that user has and where the files reside in the document management system.
The following table describes the functionality of the FDA FileHold Toolbar buttons.
