How to Create a New Document
You will only be able to create new documents in the Sections and Departments that you have Document Author permission. If you require additional permissions contact your Prompt Admin or a User Admin.
Go to Documents -> Manage, select Add Document
The Add Document page will open
Enter Document Name (Document names must be unique in each section. An error message will appear if that name has already been used)
After name creation you may drag a file into the grey box or click Browse Files to locate a file in your computer.
Click to select and highlight a file, then select Open
Location
Once your file has been uploaded select the location where your document will be added.
Set Review Date & Frequency
When you select a location the Set Review Date & Frequency will be updated to the default value applied to that location. This value may be overridden when creating a new file.
Document Settings
The Document Settings are optional settings:
- Don't Convert to PDF - All supported document file formats are converted to PDF by default if you select this option the document will retain its original file format. (Supported file formats are Word, PowerPoint Excel, and Publisher)
- Don't Convert to Footer tags - Document tags in this document will not be converted
- Keep Document Private - This document will not be searchable for users of other organisations. As Prompt encourages information sharing, this option is recommended to be used only when there is confidential information in documents.
If you do not wish to assign Document Tags, select Submit to process your document.
When you select Submit, the document goes through a conversion process. Scroll down the page to the heading 'Conversion Process'.
To assign Document Tags scroll to next heading 'Assigning Document Tags to your Document'.

To assign Document Tags, the document tag types must be enabled by your Prompt Admin in the organisation settings page (Admin -> Manage Organisation -> Edit Organisation -> Document Tags).

- Converted to PDF (except when ticked 'Don't Convert to Pdf')
- Footer tags converted (except when ticked 'Don't Convert to Footer Tags')
- Screenshot taken for document preview (when mouse hovers over document's icon in document list).
This process may take a couple of minutes and once completed your new document will be available.
If the location you've added the document has an Approval Process in place the document goes to Pending Approval State, and will only become active when approved. If rejected you will receive a notification with a rejection reason and your document will be sent to the Home page to enable you to check-in a new file.
If the document was created in a section without an Approval Process or the document has been Approved, it will become active in Prompt.
