Welcome - DoxShop® Overview

What is DoxShop®?

DoxShop® is a Document Management System (DMS), or sometimes called a Content Management System (CMS). As the name suggests, DoxShop® helps manage your documents, emails, spreadsheets, scan jobs, etc. all in one place.

DoxShop® is Client/Job centered. In other words, all of your electronic "Content" is organized by your Clients and Matters (or Customers and Jobs.) Each document/email/file, etc. is given a document number, much like a card catalog number for each book in a library.

Where is DoxShop® - How do I know it is Running?

DoxShop® automatically starts when you log in and places itself in the background.

You may only see the DoxShop® Tray Icon as a clue that it is loaded.

But usually you will also see the DoxShop® "Hot-Spot" on your Desktop in the upper right corner.

Clicking on either of these will start the DoxShop® Worklist.

The Document ID Tag

After saving a Word document, you will be given the option to select various types of Document Number ID's. This can be a simple Text Box on a given page, or can be a footer that appears on multiple pages.

It is important to include this ID tag, so that printed documents can be easily identified and opened later by document number.

To include client/matter information in your footer, check the "Include" checkbox and enter client/matter information, if not already there.

When you are ready to save your ID Trailer/Footer, click OK

Return to Feature Overview

RTF Preview:

DoxShop allows you to Preview documents from your Worklist and from the Search.

From the Worklist, click the "Preview" button:

DoxShop then rearranges your Worklist on the screen and displays an RTF Preview Window something like this:

Note that this preview gives a good idea of the content of the document, but is not visually accurate. This is an RTF (Rich Text Format) preview.

An RTF Preview allows for copying content from the display. It also displays Document Properties such as, Title, Author, Template, Last person Saved by, Revision #, Dates Created, File #, Doc ID, Matter ID, and Document Path. The last item displayed on the page is the file name.
