Creating Folders to organize your documents

DocuScan Plus allows you to organize the documents you've scanned in to separate folders if you wish. For example, you might like to keep all your scanned letters in one folder, and your textbooks in another.

To do this, you'll first need to create the folders you'd like to use to organize your documents. The option to create a new folder is located in the "manage documents" section. The edit box you'll use to give your folder a name is located just below the section which lists all the documents you've scanned so far. To jump quickly to this field, you may press the letter e to jump to the first edit box on the page. Here, you can type the name of the folder you'd like to create, and then tab to the "create folder" button and press the space bar to activate it. Your folder will be created and is now ready to use.

If you don't want to further organize your documents in to subfolders, you may now press escape to close this window. If you do want to further organize your documents, type the name of the subfolder you'd like to create in the edit box labeled "create subfolder". When pressing the "create folder" button, a folder with the name you've just given will be placed inside the folder you initially created. Remember, when you're done creating subfolders, press the escape key to exit the window.

Moving Your Documents to Separate Folders

Once you've created folders to organize your documents, you'll want to move the documents in to the folders where they belong. To do this, first choose the document you'd like to move from the "manage documents" section of DocuScan Plus. Next, tab through the document options until you find the button labeled: "move this document to another folder." Activate this button with the space bar. You'll initially be in the top level folder, and you can select the folder you need by tabbing to the "subfolders" list and selecting your folder with the up or down arrow key. Once the folder you want has focus, tab to the "open folder button to tell DocuScan Plus this is the folder you'd like to select. Now that the appropriate folder has been selected, tab to the "move here" button and press the space bar. Your document will then be moved from its place in the top level of the "manage documents" section in to the folder you've chosen. The next time you'd like to view documents in a particular folder, you'll find links to each folder in the "manage documents" section. Choose the folder you'd like, and you can then view the documents inside it.

Deleting a Folder

If you find you no longer have the need for a particular subfolder, you may delete it. Do this by first choosing the folder from the "manage documents" section of DocuScan Plus, and then tabbing to the "Delete folder" button. At this point, you will be prompted if you'd like to delete this folder, including any documents and subfolders inside it. Tab to the OK button if you wish to proceed, or the cancel button if you do not wish to delete the folder and its contents.
