⚠️ Please note that you can only move one document at a time. Therefore, we suggest creating folders as the first step before uploading or automating multiple documents to directly end up in a folder. Read more below👇

Automated folder destinations for Precisely documents

Setting up automated archiving for templates means that all contracts created from the template will be automatically stored in the correct folder. Automated archiving rules on templates enables the following:

  • documents will automatically be located in the correct Archive folder, eliminating the need to manually move them one-by-one in the Archive 
  • teams with access to the specific folder will automatically get access to:
    • documents in the folder in Archive
    • corresponding projects in Draft & Sign

Importing external documents into the Precisely Archive

Contracts created and electronically signed through Precisely are automatically stored in your digital archive. However, your legacy contracts and manually signed documents can be easily imported.

To import contracts, simply

  1. Click Archive in the top menu, 

  2. Open a specific folder where you want to import documents. Then, click the green Upload files button to the top left.

  3. Browse and select the files you wish to import into the folder.
