Create a document from one or several files

Updated over 2 months ago

When creating documents in ProdSys, you have the flexibility to create new document from one or several files and then create a new document with this file attached to the document. You can either automatically create a new document number, use the file name as the document number, or use the file name as the document description. Follow these steps to start the process and select your preferred method.

1. Access the Document Creation Module

  • From the main dashboard or side menu, go to the Documents module.
    โ€‹https://app.prodsys.com/#/documents
    Note: This function can be done from anywhere in the system we creates new documents.

  • Click + New Document to start the process.

2. Upload Files

  • Select document type

  • Click the Select File(s) button to select one or more files from your device.

  • Once you select the files, they will appear in the upload list.

3. Choose the Document Creation Method

  • Select how the document number and description should be generated. You have three options:

  1. New Document Number

    • Select this option to automatically generate a new and unique document number for each uploaded file.

    • The system will assign a sequential or system-defined number to the document, regardless of the file name.

  2. File Name as Document Number

    • Choose this option to use the file name (excluding the file extension) as the Document Number.

    • This ensures that the document is named consistently with the uploaded file, useful for documents with existing identification standards (e.g., technical files or invoices).

  3. File Name as Document Description

    • This option uses the file name as the Document Description, providing an easy reference for what the document contains.

    • A new Document Number will still be automatically generated by the system.

    • This method is helpful if you want to keep file names descriptive without using them as identifiers.

4. Confirm Document Information

  • Once you've selected your preferred method, press Create

  • The documents are created with attachment

6. Access and Manage the Documents

  • Once created, the document will be accessible from the Documents module.

  • You can download the attached files, edit the document details, or add more files as needed.

By following these steps, you can easily create multiple documents from files in ProdSys, using the flexibility of either generating new document numbers or using file names for better tracking and organization.
