Learn all about the documents tab within the Project settings

Updated yesterday

The Documents tab within the Project settings enables project administrators to configure document-related preferences for their projects. This includes managing how documents and folders are indexed and ordered. Here's a breakdown of what you can do and how to get started.

Overview of the Documents tab

The Documents tab is designed for customizing project-specific document management settings. Key features include:

  • Automatic document indexing: Control whether files and folders are indexed numerically or sorted alphabetically.

  • Configuration flexibility: Settings adjusted here are specific to the project but can inherit defaults from the Corporate Account settings. To learn more about account-wide configurations, visit the Corporate Account settings page.

Important: Only project administrators can modify these settings.

Automatic document indexing

What is automatic document indexing?

Automatic indexing determines how uploaded folders and documents are structured in your project:

  • When enabled:

    • Folders and documents are assigned sequential numbers automatically.

    • Files can be reordered by manually editing their index or by dragging and dropping them.

  • When disabled:

    • Folders and documents are sorted alphabetically by default (0–9, A–Z).

    • Reordering within the structure is not possible.

how to change indexing settings

Follow these steps to enable or disable automatic document indexing:

  1. Access the Documents tab in the Project settings.

  2. Locate the toggle next to Automatic document indexing.

  3. Turn the toggle on or off based on your preference:

    • Confirmation message: A dialog box will confirm the action.

Note: If you disable automatic indexing and later re-enable it, the original order of files and folders will be restored.
