General Documents

Distinct from templates, the General Document tab on Thread is where frequently used documents such as ‘terms of service,’ blank forms, or ‘directions to our office’ should be stored. Documents that are added to the General Documents tab cannot be populated with client or file details, and as such should not be coded using the template designer. 

Note:  Having too many documents in this tab can start to cause a backlog on Thread. Try not to have more than 250 documents here.

  1. 1. Go to the General Document tab. 

 

  1. 2. Drag and drop documents to the box or click the box shown and upload documents from your desktop.
