What is a Library?

Libraries Explained

All documents are stored in Libraries. Libraries are the highest level building block of your fileplan filing system. Administrators can create and maintain Libraries and you can have as many Libraries as required. There is no limit to the number of documents that can be stored in each Library.

Libraries typically mirror the functions in your organisation. For example Project Documents, Tenders, Matter Documents, HR, Recruitment, Staff Files, Quality, Safety, etc. Each Library can use a List and folders to make filing more efficient, or folders only, without a List.

Newly created Libraries cannot be accessed by users until Access Control is granted to People and/or Teams. To access Libraries and all related functions, click Libraries.
