When you access a contact record in Redtail, you'll notice new menu items in your Left Menu Bar underneath Contacts (these menu items only appear when within a contact record):
Here we'll take a look at Documents. If you click that option from this menu, you'll see the Documents area for the Contact:
Information about each document or file is displayed in six default columns:
1. The first column contains an icon representing the format of the document displayed.
2. The second column displays the file Name.
3. The third column displays the Category (if any) you indicated for the file during the upload process or while editing.
4. The fourth column displays the account number, if the document is linked to an account within your database.
5. The fifth column displays File Size.
6. The sixth column displays the date / time the file was uploaded.
Downloading, Editing, Deleting or Linking Documents to an account
To the left of each Document name, your Actions menu gives you each of the below choices:
Selecting Download will allow you to download the file if necessary.
Selecting Edit won't allow you to edit the file itself, but rather its Name, Description and/or Category. To edit the file itself, you would need to download, make your edits and then upload again.
Selecting Linked Accounts will allow you to link the file to an account associated with the contact's record, view accounts you've already linked it to, or remove account linkages.
Selecting Linked Activities will allow you to view activities the document is linked to.
Selecting Delete will allow you to remove the file from the contact's Document Storage area.
Filtering your CRM Document Storage age
You have the ability to filter which documents are displayed in this area by Document Type and/or Document Category. You also have an option to display Family Documents (documents stored in family members' CRM Document Storage) here. For these options, click the "filters" button above this area:
You'll then see the below, to make any of those selections:
Uploading to CRM Document Storage
To upload new files to a contact's Document Storage area, click Upload in the top right corner of this area (or click the Plus icon in your Top Right Navigation Bar and select Documents):
You'll then see the below:
Click the Add Files button. You'll then see a dialog which will allow you to browse for and select the file(s) on your machine that you would like to upload. After selecting the file(s) and clicking Open, your file(s) will show up in the upload queue. You can then click Start Upload to begin the upload process. Once the upload process is complete, you'll see the file(s) listed within your contact's CRM Document Storage.
Note: the upload process is handled using Flash, HTML5 or Silverlight, dependent upon what you have installed on your machine. When you initially click the Upload option, it will search your machine for Flash, then HTML5 and finally Silverlight. If none of these are available on your machine, the upload process will fall back to the older method available (single file upload at a time). HTML5 is available in all browsers except for IE9 and below.
Note: file types with the extensions .exe, .bat and .msi will be blocked from upload to CRM Document Storage.
