Document Management starts in Tradepoint with the primary screen found anywhere a document can be associated with a contact, or accounting item. This is the main screen which will be consistently found throughout Tradepoint for when documents are being used.

 
The screen structure above shows several options for using documents. The highlighted sections on the left of the screen enable options when they are chosen and security options are highlighted on the right.

Create a Document – This option will work with the desktop Office Application on your computer to create documents using MS Office or other desktop based Office Apps. Steps to use this option are listed below. This means a desktop based Office application must be installed on your computer before this will work correctly.
