Field

When a document is to be registered in the archive, a number of concepts must be linked to the document to enable efficient retrieval.

These properties are defined as fields and are linked to either a category or document type. Which of these "levels" the field should be connected to depends on the type of property in question.

To show existing fields, first select company and unit in the drop-down lists at the top of the page


Click the View button to view a list of existing fields. Using the Name, Description, Category, and Document Type fields, you can narrow down the selection of the fields you want to display.
