Documents – WorkDo Dash SaaS Add-On Guide

Learn how to upload, organize, and manage documents in WorkDo Dash SaaS.

Introduction

The Documents Add-On lets you create, organize, and manage all your business documents in one place. You can sort documents by type, keep them private or public, and assign specific users when needed. It also supports templates, so you can save time by converting documents into reusable templates or creating new documents from them. Each document supports attachments, comments, notes, and e-signatures, making it easy to manage your documents from start to finish.

How to Install the Add-On?

To Set Up the Document Add-On, you can follow this link: Setup Add-On.
