New documents can be created in a number of ways as can be seen by clicking the ‘New’ button in the top left hand corner of the ‘documents’ page. You will be presented with a drop down box of options including:
- From Template
- Creates a new document from a template. These templates are defined within your system and can be customised prior to creation in the ‘Template’ section (Start Page > Templates) or post creation in the preview window. There is more information regarding template creation and usage in the ‘Adding New Documents from Templates’ section of this guide.
- From Template Using Collaborator
- Text Document
- Creates a new text type document, editable in the Meddbase built-in word editor
- Image Document
- Creates a new .bmp image, editable in the Meddbase built-in graphics editor for users of touch screen devices.
- Microsoft Word Document
- Creates a new Microsoft Word document, editable within Microsoft’s Word software. This option will require the download of a file and as such requires the Meddbase Document Manager to use. The Microsoft Word document preview is not a complete rendering of the file and only includes the raw text (no formatting or Images).
