Exporting Documents out of NetDocuments when starting a new firm.

After doing this a couple of hundred times, we have found that this is the best way to use the NetDocuments Mass Export Tool to export 1 matter at a time from NetDocuments.

In this example we want to Export the Bluth Company LLC Formation File out of NetDocuments.

Step 1: On the Root of a Drive,  Create a Folder with 1 Character.

Note:  We are trying to limit any windows folder path issues here

Step 2: In that Folder, Create a Folder using the client and matter ID if possible.

Note:  We are trying to limit any windows folder path issues here, so we didn’t use the client and matter name

Step 3:  Download and Install the Mass Export Utility from NetDocuments
