Enter the following recommended information:

Document Category/Document Type	Select a document category and type to describe this document. If you select a category and type for the document, these can be entered as search criteria to help you quickly locate the document. Your Business Process Owner defines the categories and types from which you choose.
Document Folder	Select a folder for the document so that you can search for it by folder, or locate it by drilling down in a selection list of folders and subfolders. Using Document Folders is especially useful for generic documents, such as best practices, that are not associated with a single record, and that might even be used across applications. However, you can associate any document, even those associated with a specific record, with a Document Folder to facilitate locating it. Once you drill down to a folder and select it, the field displays the last folder in the path; it does not display the entire folder hierarchy. Your Business Process Owner defines the folder structure.

Date Document	Enter the date the document was published or written, or another critical date.

For EH&S, critical dates might be the training date, or the issued date for personal protective equipment. When users search for documents using the Date Document From and Date Document To fields, the application selects records for the restriction based on the document's Date Document.
Document Review Group	Select the security group that is allowed to view this document. If you leave this field empty, any user who has access to this task can view the document.
Document Notes	Enter any additional notes that describe how this document is used. For example, enter a document abstract, or enter a custom tag that you define to make locating this document easier by entering this tag in the Document Notes field in a Filter console.
