   ClosedDoc 360 Setup Sections

    ClosedSystem Configuration

Group/Field

What is this?

Document Storage Location

Enter a default document storage location or locations.

Field

What is this?

Database

Choose this option to store documents in your agency's database. Vertafore recommends this option for maximum security and accessibility to the documents.

Documents saved to the database have a size limitation of 100 MB per file.

Shared Folder

Choose this option to store documents in a shared folder on a server or another shared location. When the attachment is saved, it is moved or copied to this location.

There is no file size limitation for documents stored at a shared folder location.

All documents stored on a shared directory are saved under an obscure filename provided by Doc360; this ensures that the files will not be altered outside of Doc360.

You must identify the drive and directory path of the shared folder. Use Browse or type the exact drive and directory path in the field provided.

Link

What is this?

Browse

Use this link in conjunction with the Shared Folder option. You must identify the drive and directory path of the shared folder.

Once selected, the drive/directory appears in the field beneath the Shared Folderoption.

Reference to Disk

Choose this option to save a reference of the document's location. The document is not moved or copied from its original location.

Other (Allow Browse)

Choose this option to allow the user importing the document to decide where to save it.

Silent Activity Attachment Storage Option

These options apply to automatic Activity logging without user intervention. Choose one of the following options:

Field

What is this?

Database

Choose this option to store silent Activity Attachments in your agency's database.

  • Vertafore recommends this option for maximum security and accessibility to the attachments.

  • If you select Database, silent activity attachments over 9 Megabytes in size cannot be stored in the database.

Shared Folder

Choose this option to store silent Activity Attachments in the shared folder that you specified in the Shared Folder field in the Document Storage Location section above.

Field

What is this?

Compress Files During Save

Check the box to reduce the document file size during file save. Defaults as checked.

If you change your selection here, the new agency setting will only apply to new documents saved after the change.

Encrypt Files During Save

Check the box to encrypt files. Defaults as selected.

Files are always encrypted when they are stored to the database. The Encrypt Files During Save option is provided for those files saved to a shared folder location.

When the system encrypts a file, it translates the file data into a secret code. This provides an added measure of document security because outside the Doc360 system, the document file data is unreadable.

If you change your selection here, the new agency setting will only apply to new documents saved after the change.

Default Attachment "Delete After Saving" Option to Yes

Forms that provide the Delete After Saving checkbox option include Document Distribution, Attachments, and Doc360 Match Pending Attachments.

When this option is selected in Doc360 Setup, the default status of the Delete After Saving box is checked on these forms.

If the Delete After Saving checkbox is selected, the system automatically deletes the source file from its initial location once it is saved.

You can also access this option at the transaction-specific level.

Allow Document Attachments to Notes

Select this option to allow users the ability to attach documents to Notes. This selection also enables the Notes button on the Documents tabs of applicable centers.

Defaults as selected.
