This article explains how tags function within the Class Document Management System (DMS). It covers:
Tag Categories
There are six categories of tags available in the Fund Documents screen:
- System - Pre-defined tags created by Class includes Financial Years, report names and other. For a complete list refer to the article here.
- Custom - User-created tags shared across the entire Business. Manage Custom Tags section provides instructions on how to add custom tags.
- Investment - Tags for all investments activated in an entity, it includes suspended investments but not deleted.
- Member - Tags for all current and former members in a Fund.
- Account - Tags for all the activated member accounts including accumulation and pension accounts.
- Locked - Automatically assigned by the system. It can't be removed or edited.
Locked Tags
Documents with a lock icon are locked documents. These are typically created via:
- Business transaction events
- Fund/client messaging
- Integrated third-party sources(e.g. RP Data Cotality reports, Actuarial provider documents)
Locked Tags are assigned automatically by the system hence greyed out on the document details screen and cannot be edited or removed. Additional Tags from another category can be added to locked documents.
Tag Documents
Navigate To Fund Level> Fund > Fund documents > View/Edit
When a document is uploaded to the DMS you have the option to click Save and continue to open the View/Edit screen. You can also access the View/Edit screen from the document list to update Tags for an existing document.
Type in any letter to begin searching for the tag and select as many tags from the categories (System, Custom, Investments, Members and Accounts)
Click on the x, this will remove the tag from the document.
