What Tools Are Needed to Get Started with your Document Management System?
• An “In Box” to place the paper you have not yet reviewed
• A place to put frequently used files – a desk drawer, a desktop file folder or nearby file drawer
• A place to put reference files – additional desk drawers or file cabinets
• Pendaflex hanging file folders with plastic tabs (letter or legal, depending on your file cabinet)
• “Box bottom” files (hanging files with a 1″ cardboard strip in the bottom) if you tend to have “thick” files
• Hanging file frames if your file cabinet does not accommodate hanging files
• Manila files for use in files you take with you, or for subdividing files
• An “Out Box” – if you send or take papers elsewhere, located within reach of where you sit
• A “To File” Box – located within reach of where you sit
• Plenty of trash bags and recycling containers
