Creating Documents and File Folders

The Document Manager should contain all the documents you require. For additional customization of the file, it is possible to add or delete an unlimited number of documents or folders on the Document Manager.

There are six types of documents that you can create.

images\tnewmanu_shg.gif Manual document references are documents that are prepared manually without the use of Time. You can list the manual document on the Document Manager for organizational purposes. However, because the document is manual, it cannot be printed or viewed from the Document Manager.
