Drag and Drop Shortcut


It is also possible to drag files directly to the Documents tab and save them to Equinox.



If you use this shortcut to save documents to a case, you will not have the option to record a document folder or date. 


Note: When uploading files using the Drag and Drop functionality you will not be able to assign the documents to a user within the system or record any other document details. 

The status of the document will default to ‘Complete’. 


Users can amend the details of any document uploaded via ‘Drag and Drop’ individually or by using the ‘Bulk Update’ option in the left hand menu. For more information on how this works, please see the section on Document Left Hand Menu options.
