The file plan provides the high-level taxonomy and containers for filing records. It lets you file documents and folders in a structured manner according to set business rules. These rules are defined by your file plan standards.

In the application, the file plan acts as the top level for all records. The file plan consists of the following hierarchical elements:

  • Client

    • Matter

      • File Parts

Privileges control which users can create or modify each element of the file plan. Boxes aren't included in the file plan but can contain file parts.

Your file plan location is retained when you navigate away from, then back to the file plan. Return by browser 'back' button is also supported.

TIP: To return to the full file plan view from a retained view, select the File Plan navigation bar button again. Doing so also clears any filters that were applied.
