How to store and archive documents with myOXSEED
When you login to the myOXSEED account, on the right side you should see two options Inbox and Storage in the Workbasket window. Inbox will be where documents and files that you want to archive but which aren’t processed are stored. In inbox you’ll also find documents that you’ve sent via email, the OXSEED email. By processing we are referring to adding descriptions to the document before it goes to the archive.
Inbox folder is gonna open up in a new tab, as you can see from the image above. To start the document upload process you need to click on the small icon from which the red arrow comes from on the image above. Import window will pop up where you need to choose a file, all formats are supported, and then you need to fill in the document information, like date, name and type. When you’re ready, you can click Archive directly and it will go in the Storage folder, remember there were two options on the main page, Inbox and Storage. If you want to continue editing the file, click Import and Edit if you want to make additional changes.
