Manage Folders
Folders represent the high-level document categories that your firm can use to help sort files posted to them. They can help you and your clients group similar content. You can still use labels to organize files, which means that you have multi-level organization—for example, you can have a Tax Documents folder containing files with labels for Abbot Family, Abbey Family, etc.
Files can only be assigned to one folder at a time. However, there is no limit to how many labels you apply.
Clients will see only folders and labels applied to files in their document vault.
Folders are easy to create and remove. On the Manage Folders page, found under Documents, you can create, edit, organize, and delete folders.
For more information on using the document vault, see Use the Document Vault.
Tamarac automatically creates a Financial Plans folder in your and your clients' document vault for all firms using the MoneyGuide integration. For more information about that folder and the MoneyGuide integration, see See MoneyGuide Financial Plan Reports in the Document Vault.
To create a folder:
Under Documents, click Manage Folders.
In Enter Folder Name, type the name of the folder.
Click Create. The new folder will be added to the list in the document vault.
To delete a folder:
Under Documents, click Manage Folders.
Click Delete next to the folder you want to delete.
Confirm the deletion by clicking Delete.
Deleting the folder will not delete the files within that folder.
To edit a folder name:
Under Documents, click Manage Folders.
Click Edit next to the folder you want to edit.

You can determine the order the folders appear in on the document vault page. Reorganize the order the folders appear in by using the corner 
to drag and drop the list into the desired order.
Before rearranging, the Reports folder was at the bottom of the folders list. After dragging and dropping to rearrange the order, the Reports folder appears at the top of the folders list.
