[FOR AMICUS ADMINISTRATOR ONLY]

Enabling the automated tagging of documents means that you are sharing with us anonymized information about your firm's use of Amicus Cloud. We use this data to help us design new features, and better understand how our users are taking advantage of the current features in Amicus Cloud.

Your firm can enable/disable the automated tagging of documents at any time, and there is no obligation to participate.

AbacusNext will not collect names, addresses or any other personally identifiable information and you can continue to work without interruption.

To enable/disable the automated tagging of documents:

1.     Go to Options to display the Options window, click Firm Setup from the navigation pane to display the Firm Setup dialog.

        Check the Scan new documents for auto-tagging checkbox to enable the automated tagging of documents and uncheck to disable auto-tagging of documents. It is enabled by default.

Auto-tagging documents on upload:

When a firm member chooses to upload single or multiple documents, they are sent 5 "suggested" document tags. They can accept or reject any of the tags. They can also add additional tags as necessary.

In the event that the machine learning team is unable to come up with tags, a Prompt message displays informing the firm member that "There are no suggested tags at this time."

Only the first 5 tags on any document are used by the machine learning team.

        Tags are applied automatically to a New Document.

        Tags are not applied to a New Version of an existing document.

To auto-tag documents on upload:

1.     Click Add Document. The Add Document(s) dialog behaves like a wizard when the firm has enabled auto-tagging.

        The Next button is disabled until one or more documents has been added.

2.     Click on the File icon to add a file. Click the Add icon to browse or drag and drop documents from the desktop.

        The Next button is enabled.

3.     Click Next to display the Document Tags window and perform the tagging.

        A progress bar displays with the text "Tagging in progress."

4.     Click Save & Close to add the tags to the document in Amicus Cloud.

        Click Previous to return to the Add Document dialog without saving the changes.
