Managing Cabinets

Think of cabinets in PinPoint just as you do cabinets within a file room at your office. Cabinets help you separate your files at the highest level into subject matter. Each cabinet you create will have its own set of folders and sub-dividers to help you organize documents efficiently.

From the menu on the left-side of the screen, click Admin, then click Cabinets under the first column: Fileroom Management.

Add Cabinet

1. To begin, click the Add Cabinet

1. Enter the Cabinet Name.
2. Using the icon buttons above Field Name, select the folder field types you would like to add. You are required to add at least one folder field for the cabinet.
3. Check the boxes Folder Title and Required for the folder field you want displayed in searches. Only one folder field can be set as the Folder Title
4. If needed…
   • You can change the character limit for each folder field using the Size The maximum characters you can set per field is 99.

6. After saving your new cabinet, click the Sub-Divider icon next to the cabinet. This is the second icon under the Actions column.
