The File-Store is a document management feature that allows those users with permissions to upload electronic files/documents to an employee’s record on Verde HR. This allows the user to label any stored document with a category and type for search convenience and organisation purposes. Users can also make notes in the notes section when saving a file on to Verde HR. To upload a document open an Employee Record.
