Engagement: Engagement: Document Categories

How to get there: Admin | Engagement | Document Categories

Documents (including videos) that are uploaded to the system (within the Documents section of the Employee Portal) are assigned a category. Categories can be nested together on two levels, thus providing sub-grouping. Categories are used to group together similar documents. There are several categories in the example below called “Company Brochures”, “EmployeeDocument”, “Essential Reading” and “Forms”. Within the “Forms” category, there are sub-categories for “Absence”, “HR” and “Personal Development”. Within the “Forms | Absence” sub-category, the files called “Self Certification Form” and “Doctors Fit Note” are stored.
