Introduction

Labels represent the document categories that your firm can use to help clients sort files posted to them. Like folders, they can help you and your clients group similar content. For instance, let's say you post several different types of documents to your clients. When your clients view the documents, all documents will appear in one place, but they can be sorted using the labels. In the example below, you can quickly see that there were four reports posted, and five forms, along with nine other documents.

Labels are easy to create and remove. You can also easily access the documents of each type by clicking the link in the Documents column.
