Card Documents
This post is also available in: Deutsch
In this article:
Overview
Documents are an integral part of work. Therefore, you can take them with you into the KanBo world. Add documents to cards and share them with other users. Edit existing files or create new ones.
Each document that you add to a card goes to the card elements section and appears in the space documents at the same time. All these files have a source in the external document library.
Any document uploaded or created in a card immediately appears in the corporate library, where it has its source.
Documents can be stored in cards with:
Document folders – refer to existing folders on the external platform.
Document groups – containers for collecting documents in cards.
Example: Card documents stored in the Equipment document group and Purchases document folder.
The same document can be present in multiple cards at once. You can see all the cards that contain it using document references.

Example: The Urban-Picnic-poster.jpg file is attached to three cards. Note that one of these cards is in a different space.
You can build the structure of the corporate document library with a little help from KanBo features. Use document templates and automatic document folder definition to take document management to the next level.
