Document Index

Updated: 2020-07-20

In the Organize sidebar on left side of the DoxCycle window, the document index is the table of contents of a DoxCycle PDF. It lists the pages in the document and contains tools to help you organize, review and manage documents.

1. Unpin the sidebar to make it disappear when you move your mouse away from it. Pin the sidebar to keep it open all the time.
2. Click the arrow button to move the sidebar to the other side of the window.
3. Click Hide empty categories  hide all categories that have no documents in them. This is particularly helpful when you have a family file and when you are viewing on screen. (Remember, you can still drag a document and hover over a taxpayer name to reveal the empty categories under that taxpayer. Then, drop the document or page into the right place.)
4. Click Expand All and Collapse All to open or close all categories.
5. Click the Link button to “follow” the document in TaxCycle. This means TaxCycle shows the equivalent form, slip or worksheet for the source document you see in DoxCycle. For this to work, a link must already exist between the TaxCycle and DoxCycle files. To learn more, read the Link DoxCycle and TaxCycle files help topic.

3. The Acquired Order view lists the documents in the order they were imported or scanned in.
