Document Reporting

Document Reporting provides a central area to search for documents that have been attached to master records via the "View Docs" button found throughout the system. In addition, Document Categories can be created via System > Maintenance > Document Categories and then assigned to a document when it is attached to a master record, thereby providing a useful method for grouping, searching, and maintaining documents.
