The Document Extra Fields tab is used to add additional information that your practice requires about each document. The unique fields added on this tab become part of the Profiling information when new documents are created with the Create Document Wizard.
Additional fields can be added and/or edited at any time.

- In the first blank row immediately below the Field column heading, enter a unique descriptive name for the new extra field. For example, Tax year. This will be available for selection when setting up Filing Cabinets for use in profiling. See Filing Cabinets tab for details.
- Decide which types of documents will be included in the new field (for example, Assignment (AE), Contact, Employee or Document) and select or deselect the checkboxes beneath the appropriate column headings.
