Document Types

Sage Intacct Paperless is built to store all electronic documents.

 

An organization can have hundreds or even thousands of documents it handles on a daily basis. The Sage Intacct Paperless system gives organizations the ability to assign document types and associate key values or indexes to documents to ensure that the documents are consistently saved and can be easily retrieved.

 

The Sage Intacct Paperless system was installed with many predefined document types. Administrators have the ability to edit any of the predefined document types to fit their company's needs. When determining the document types that each security group will store in the Sage Intacct Paperless, new document types can be set up.

 

In the DOCUMENT TYPES tab is where you will select those document types that individuals in this security group will have permission to view or interact with in specific ways.

 

Once you have selected those document types, Sage Intacct Paperless will systematically grant global permissions for the members of this security group to index, add pages, distribute and delete pages. You can decide to keep these global permissions or restrict them for each document type. Additionally, you can decide--per document type--if the members of this security group should only be able to read certain document types but not manipulate them.

Determining Document Type Permissions

 

Once the document types are assigned, the next step is to determine permissions to this group for each assigned document type. For every document type that you selected, Sage Intacct Paperless systematically allows security group members to index, add pages, distribute and delete pages. If you do not want security group members to be able to perform any of those tasks on a particular document type, you must manually mark a document type as Allow Manage Read Only. Any permission may be checked or unchecked for any document type. Permissions are given per security group.
