Document Management

MAIN MENU >   Document > Documents

The Document Management feature allows employees and supervisors to post documents and make them available to other employees. Each employee has a document repository for personal or system documents and to track revisions. Examples of important documents are company-wide policy guides, employee handbook, or a benefits plan guide. In addition, documents can be created and saved as templates to be used by other employees in the future for creating standardized documents.

To store a document, do the following:

  • Click Document, then Documents in the main menu.
  • Click New in the button bar to add a new document or Edit to revise an existing document.
  • Complete the fields.
  • Click Save in the button bar to store the document.
