Company Document Categories

Company Documents can be stored in "Categories" (or folders) to enable them to be properly organized.  To add a Company Document Category, click on the 'Add Category' button at the bottom of the Company Documents page:

You'll then be presented with the following screen to enter the details of the desired Document Category:

The only mandatory field on this page is the Category Name. You can also enter an optional Category Description which is displayed under the name when viewing company document categories.

You also have the option to choose a Parent category so that you can have categories within other categories. For example, you may have a "Training" category (the "parent") with several other categories contained within it called "Sales", "Marketing", "Finance" etc.

Finally, you have the option to restrict the category by the department, job role, or site so that only employees in the selected departments, etc. can see the category and the documents contained therein.  If you do not restrict the category, then the category itself and the documents therein are available to all employees.
