Folders and dosare

For administrators who manage folders: making the root folders of the library and the dosare inside them, setting a dosar’s entry, and closing and reopening dosare. Library folders belong to units; their dosare carry the retention terms.

Administration › Folders shows the tree of library folders on the left. Choose a folder and the panel The chosen folder shows the unit it belongs to and the buttons New folder here, Rename the folder, Move the folder and Delete the folder.

The Folders page: the root folders and the chosen folder's panel

New folder at the root makes a folder at the top level. A folder at the root belongs to a unit: choose it under Unit. Inside a library folder you make dosare: give the Folder name, choose the Entry of the nomenclator, the Year of the dosar and when it Closes. You can leave the entry for later.

On a folder’s page in the library, Folder actions › Choose the nomenclator entry (or Change the nomenclator entry) sets the dosar’s entry. Entry lists the entries of the edition in force, Year of the dosar is its year, and Closes is At the end of the year (a yearly dosar) or When you close it (a dosar over several years).

A dosar’s entry gives its documents their retention term. Documents in a folder without an entry have no term yet; the Archive overview lists such dosare.

A yearly dosar closes by itself at the end of its year. A dosar over several years is closed by hand: Folder actions › Close the dosar, and type the Year in which the dosar ends. A closed dosar takes in and gives out no documents, and its retention term runs from the year after its end year.

Closing the dosar Invoices 2014, with the year in which it ends

Reopen the dosar asks Why you reopen it and opens the dosar again; until you close it again its term has no end year.

On the Nomenclator page, The dosare of {year} makes the yearly dosare of the next year from those of this year, with their entry from the edition in force, and Open the dosare of {year} does it. Document types with a default folder move to the new dosar on 1 January.
