Recording: December 1st Paper Tiger Expert Webinar

Strategize & Organize, Productivity Expert

During this expert webinar, Anne demonstrated how to get started with Paper Tiger Online filing system software and demonstrated a work-flow example by filing items from her inbox through the life-cycle of document management to help you use Paper Tiger more effectively to get organized and be more productive. She included specific examples in how to transfer files from Action to Reference locations (those actionable items that have been accomplished and now need to be moved from your action file drawer to the file cabinet), and how to use the confirmation function to product a Transfer Report to then delegate to someone else on your staff the physical moving of files to match Paper Tiger. In this webinar, Anne also demonstrated how to index CDs, because anything you can number, you can Paper Tiger!

Filing System Q&A from the Webinar

Q: ‘Naming / Titling’ items is a challenge for me.
A: With Paper Tiger, you don’t have to worry what specific name for an item, because you can add as many keywords as you want in Paper Tiger and be able to retrieve/find the item later by searching whatever name you’re thinking of on that particular day. So you’re not confined to the hanging file folder tab for naming your paper files.

Q: Can you increase the item number after the initial setup of a Location?
A: Yes, you would check the Location that you want to increase the capacity for and then click Edit. See this knowledge base article for how to make changes to a Location.

Q: I just bought the online version online–Does that also include desk top
A: No, the desktop and the online versions do not work together. They are separate products.

Q: You can sign into Paper Tiger Online from any computer, right?
A: Yes, you can sign on from any computer with an Internet access, similar to how you sign into your email account.

Q: What is review frequency?
A: Review Frequency is basically the frequency in which you need to view a Location to take action on Items in the Location. You can set a review frequency for a Location for Paper Tiger to give you a reminder to review in two options X number of Weeks or X number of Months. The reminder shows up as a reminder flag pop-up at the top of the application when you log into Paper Tiger Online.

Q: I have an older version of Paper Tiger  (Single User Basic 3.0.)  If I upgrade to the most recent version, can I upload my old files?
A: Yes, absolutely. You will be able to convert the database if you upgrade to the desktop version 4, or if you switch to the online version that Anne is showing today, you will be able to import the database.

Q: Can I switch my Paper Tiger  files from a PC to my new MacBook Pro?
A: If you switch to Paper Tiger Online, you will be able to use it on the MacBook. Paper Tiger Online works on any computer with an Internet access including Mac. Browsers supported:

-Mozilla Firefox 3 and newer
-Safari 3 and newer
-Google Chrome 4 and newer
-Internet Explorer 7 and newer

Our desktop, downloadable version of Paper Tiger is a Windows only software so if you wanted a version that wasn’t web-based, you would need to install Paper Tiger desktop onto a virtual Windows program for the Mac such as Parallels.
