Document Management Interface A familiar folder tree provides an easy way of organizing and keeping track of your files related to a CRM record. Tip: Documents Tab By default, Document Management is available on the following CRM entities: Account, Contact, Opportunity, Lead, Case and Contract. Document Management can also be made available on other standard CRM entities as well as custom entities. If you aren t using SharePoint, it s a good idea to remove Documents from the associated view of each CRM form. This may help avoid confusion. 4
Toolbar Options Easily organize and upload your files using the Document Management toolbar. New Folder creates a new root folder or a subfolder under the selected parent folder. Folder Actions allows you to Rename, Move or Delete a selected folder. Add Files allows you to browse to the location of the file(s) you want to upload to a selected folder. 5
Delete Files deletes the selected file(s). A prompt will be presented allowing you to confirm that you want to delete the selected files. Move Files provides the option of moving selected file(s) from one folder to another. Change Title allows you to name the files something different than the imported file name. 6
Email creates a CRM email for you with the selected files attached. Apply Folder Template allows you to apply a pre-defined folder structure to the current record only. *To apply a template across all records in the entity, got to Settings Folder Templates* 7
Creating a Folder Template To create a Folder Template, go to Settings Folder Templates. Click New. Tip: Folder Templates Unique Folder Templates can be defined for each entity. For example, you may want to create a unique set of folders for all Account records (i.e. Customer Contracts) and a different set of folders for Case records (i.e. Error Screen Shots). Applying a Folder Templates is optional but can be a great time saver. Folder Templates can also be modified after they are applied. 8
