Document Categories

The Document Categories hyperlink in the Application Administration | Document Bank sidebar allows site administrators and super users to set up categories/folders to organize electronic files (documents, images, etc.). This can simplify locating documents when needed, as some matter records may have a large number of various types of documents attached.

Usage Report

Click the Usage Report button to the right of the category list to view the number of documents in each category.

Note: If there are no documents within a category, the category can be deleted by clicking the trash_can_grey icon. Selecting the trash_can_grey icon deletes the document categories from the Usage Report, AND deletes the category itself. Notice how Discovery and Subpoena show up in the Usage Report below, but not in the category list on the left side of the screen-shot. Additionally, clicking the trash_can icon in the regular category list deletes the category, but it still appears in the usage report if documents were uploaded to the category.
