Creating Document Management Folders

Note:  The Create Document Management Folders option is only available if the organization has licensed the K12Docs module.  Also, only those users defined as a supervisor within the User Security option have the ability to access this option.

  1. From the School Accounting System screen, select the Utilities menu and then Create Document Management Folders.

  2. Select the items for which to create the folders within the K12Docs module:  

Tip:  Typically, the option is completed for only active employees, vendors, payees, and customers (if applicable), in addition to the current and next four future years; assets are generally excluded because there are usually a large number of assets and the need for uploading documents for all the assets is very low.

Note:  When the Create Document Management Folders option is completed, the system compares the values for the required indexes (for example, Employee ID) of existing folders to the selected items (employees, vendors, payees, customers, assets, and/or years) and only the folders that do not already exist are added; if applicable, the information in the non-required indexes (for example, Last Name) of existing folders is not checked with the selected items nor updated if different.

  1. Click the Execute button.

  2. A message will appear stating the process could take a while (up to several hours) to complete; click OK.

  3. A message will appear in the status bar once the process for determining which folders need to be added is completed; the system will then start creating the folders and will continue working in the background.

  4. Click the X in the upper right-hand corner to close the Create Document Management Folders screen.
