The Papervee document folder can be customized with various categories and subcategories of documents, creating an organized and centralized structure suitable for all HR documents in the company. Modifying the folder structure is done from a central location, and all changes are reflected in the individual folders of the users.


Attention! Only the Owner user or HR Manager users with access rights to company settings can modify the structure of the document folder.

  4. In the "Document Folder" section, press the "Manage folder" button.


This is the menu where you can modify the structure of the document folder. The two elements it comprises are: Document Categories and Document Subcategories. All these customized categories and subcategories will be found on the "Other Documents" page of the document folder. Categories represent groups of document subcategories. Each Category must contain at least one document subcategory. Documents can only be uploaded in document subcategories.


Creating a Document Category:

Creating a document subcategory:

  2. Suggestively name the new subcategory.
  3. If you want employees without additional rights to see the subcategory and its content, check the "visible to employees" option. Otherwise, only managers will be able to access this subcategory and its content.
  4. If you want employees without additional rights to be able to upload documents in this subcategory, check the corresponding option. Otherwise, only managers will be able to upload documents in this subcategory.
  5. To finalize, press the "create subcategory" button.

When a category is deleted, you have the option to move all subcategories from this category to another category. Thus, the documents will not be deleted, but moved. Similarly, if you delete a subcategory, the documents from it can be moved to another subcategory. However, if you delete a category or subcategory without specifying a new location for documents, they will be deleted.
