For licensed users of Accounting CS Workpapers
Accounting CS Workpapers enables you to drag and drop documents from a local or networked drive in Windows Explorer and email messages from Microsoft Outlook to a selected binder or folder within the Engagement Binders Tree portlet.
Notes
- Email applications other than Microsoft Outlook—such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and so forth—cannot be used to drag and drop email messages into a binder or folder within the Engagement Binders Tree portlet.
- If you are unable to use the drag and drop method, verify that Accounting CS is not being run as the administrator.
You can use the following drag-and-drop methods to simplify the collaborative workflow in your office and enable you to share documents with external, non-Accounting CS Workpapers clients.
- Drag and drop from an engagement binder into an email message.
- Drag and drop from an engagement binder to the desktop or networked location.
- Drag and drop into the File Exchange Document portlet.
Drag and drop documents into the engagement binder

- Open the Engagement Binders Tree portlet in the Workpapers Dashboard.
- Left-click the source document in Windows Explorer and drag it into a briefcase or folder within the Engagement Binders Tree portlet. The Workpaper Properties dialog opens when you place the file into the portlet and release the mouse button.
- Add the workpaper reference, modify any of the other fields in the dialog if necessary, and click OK.
Note: You can also drag and drop documents from the File Exchange Document portlet into the Engagement Binders tree portlet and vice versa within the Workpapers Dashboard.
