 
There are several situations where tracking paper
files is important:
-
Files are often out of the
file storage area during times when they may be required by
others.
-
Files leave the building.
-
File are often difficult to
locate or completely lost.
-
Regulations require file usage
history reports.
-
Files may be needed in an
emergency.
File tracking is a very simple
process by which a folder's barcode is scanned every time that
file moves. While the basic tracking function is simple,
there are a great number of features that typically need to
follow: retention scheduling, usage & overdue file reports,
color label printing, etc.

Bar Code Tracking
Bar Code Tracking enables
users to quickly determine the current location of paper
file folders and documents by performing a
check-in/check-out activity when files or documents move
from one location to another. Bar code tracking is used
to track files and documents to locations, employees and
boxes. System user’s can quickly view the current
location of a file as well as view tracking history
information. Tracking can also be done at the document
level. Documents can be tracked to files, employees or
boxes.
Bar Code Tracking provides
the following benefits to an organization:
-
Reduce the number of
missing or lost files.
-
Decrease the time it
takes for employees to locate files.
-
Increase employee
productivity by enabling employees to quickly locate
files and documents, whether files are located in
the file room or checked out to another employee.
-
Improve security and
provide greater control of files from the central
filing.

Retention Management
Retention management
enables a business to reduce costs and reduce legal risk
by managing the life cycle of documents through their
creation, use, storage and destruction. Retention
Management ensures files are moved efficiently and
consistently from more expensive active filing space to
less expensive inactive filing, and eventually to
destruction, based on the legal and useful life.
Every organization has
unique needs and business purposes. However, the
importance of records management remains the same, as
well as some key theories of records management:
Information must be managed from creation to disposition
(document lifecycle). Information must be managed by
value, not by media.
Color Coded File
Labeling
Color-coded filing systems improve efficiency up
to 50%.
Color-coded labeling enables users to print and apply
color labels to the end tabs of file folders. Color bands are assigned to the
numbers or letters used for determining the filing arrangement. Color bands can
also be used to determine document types or other classification methods.
Color-coded labeling reduces the cost of your file
storage and retrieval by:
