Description
The majority of the files we receive would be moved into only 1-3 folders. I envision that these would appear when the document is hovered over.
However, many of these files must then be moved to client folders and there are thousands of them. So not really sure how to address this. Maybe an option when the file is hovered over would be "A-Z" which would then show a vertical listing of folders A though Z. When the corresponding letter was hovered over then all the clients within would be shown and the file could be moved there.
Right now when we have documents to be filed we just put them in a "to be filed" folder and then later someone must go back and physically move all these files into the client's folder. Very time consuming. There is a program that somewhat allows this functionality: http://www.dropitproject.com/ and https://sourceforge.net/projects/dropit/ . I’ve played with it and the problem is you have to create an individual link each and every time. So if you have thousands of folders (and we do) this is too time consuming to set up. There should be a scan function to build these automatically.

Hi Kirk,
Can you say what type of files they are and how they are named?
What determines the destination folder for the files, and how would a user know by hovering over it, which destination it would need?
Could tjis be done programmatically so that a user doesn't need to hover over the file a choose a destination? What criteria could be checked for this to happen? (Filename or date or parsing contents of the files or what other possible ways of deciding where to move the file might there be?)
If you think there is a way of being able to use the computer to make the choice of destination for filing according to some rules (even complex analysis then please advise and I will base a proposal on that basis.
Thanks
