To send documents to FileCabinet CS and categorize them first by service and then by date, mark the Organize by Category checkbox in the FileCabinet CS options section of the Preferences tab of the Firm screen.

Note: The document tree structure for files that have already been sent to FileCabinet CS does not change when you choose to organize any new documents by category. If you choose to use this feature, we recommend that you implement this change at the beginning of a processing period to maintain a standard reporting practice.
