MoversSuite Administration > Document Management > Document Type
Define types and properties for files managed through the Document Management system. Document Types allow you to determine a category for a broad set of documents added to MoversSuite. It also allows you to link documents to external interfaces to expedite downloading of documents into MoversSuite and define which documents show in the MSCrew application.

NOTE: Once a type is linked to a file in MoversSuite, it cannot be deleted. You can mark it as Inactive to no longer have it available for selection.
Technical Field Information
The following table describes the fields used when creating new Document Types or when managing existing ones:
|
Field |
Description |
|
Document Group |
Select a group from the list defined within Document Group Setup that this document type will list under within the Document Management Viewer. For example, a company may choose to place Document Types for “BOL” and “Work Ticket” under a group titled “Move Documents,” while an email may list under the “Correspondence” group. |
|
Type |
Enter values available within the Document Type field in the Properties and Attach File screens (up to 10-characters). The type identifies the general characteristic of the file, such as BOL, Email, Letters, Work Ticket, Inventory, etc. MoversSuite provides the following default types: BOL (Bill of Lading) Confirm (Confirmation Letter) Fax OARequest Picture Spreadsheet ThankYou (Thank You Letter) WorkTicket
|
|
Description |
Enter a more detailed description of the document type (up to 64-characters). This will be the default description for the type and will display next to documents attached to an order within the Document Management Viewer.
Note: A user can overwrite this description when attaching files or updating document properties.
TransDocs Integration Note: MoversSuite recommends using a carrot symbol “(^)” to represent a type available to upload and download from TransDocs, a letter “(v)” to represent only a download type, and no special character to indicate that the type is not part of the data exchange with TransDocs. For example, TransDocs supports uploading and downloading of Bill of Lading documents, therefore a Description of “Bill of Lading (^)” would indicate this to users.
