Document Types

Overview

Document types are used by Empower to classify what types of documents are stored in the database. Document Types are available in the Document Properties (adding and editing documents) dialog box in Desktop.

You can use Document Types to define user permissions/access to specific documents. Refer to the Permissions section for more information on controlling user access to documents.

Adding Types

To add a document type, click the Add toolbar button. This will present the Add Type panel.

When defining a document type, you can set the name and description.

Once all fields/options are set, click the Apply or Add button to create the type.

Editing Types

To modify a type, click the Edit icon on the list.

This will invoke the Edit Type panel.

Once the desired changes are made, click the Update button to save the changes.

Removing Types

To remove an entry, click the Delete icon on the list.

You will be asked to verify the removal.

Enabling Types

Deleting an entry will "disable" the record in the database. You can view disabled entries by checking the Display Disabled option.

You can activate/enable the entry by clicking the Enable icon.
