How to find Documents in other NetDocuments Cabinets

Posted in NetDocuments Tips on March 17, 2024 by Craig Bayer

When you create a Cabinet in NetDocuments, you must decide if it will be set up as a Workspace or a Folder.  A Workspace Cabinet is highly structured. Once someone saves a document to a Workspace Cabinet, they must fill out a profile based on the firm’s requirements.   A Folder Cabinet is how you organize files on your local computer. Anyone can create Folders and sub-folders and put things wherever they want.

In 99.9% of cases, your client documents will be stored in a Workspace Cabinet, and all other documents will be stored in multiple Folder Cabinets.
