Note:  The Libraries and Types window allows you to link document types to libraries. This means that only relevant document types are displayed when you select a library in Document Management. The Document Types window is accessed via Maintenance > Document Management > Document Types.

Restricting Types by Assignment

Go to File > Maintenance > Assignment > Assignment Templates. Highlight a document template and select the Document – Types tab at the bottom of the window. Add all Document Types that should be available for this assignment, so that they appear in the list on the right hand side of the screen. You can also tick the Default checkbox for the Document Type that you want to set as the default value to be used with that assignment.

Note: If no Document Types are set for an Assignment Template then all Document Types that are associated with the library that is being filed to will be available for selection.
