File Manager – actions with Files and Folders

Introduction

File Manager functionality is used to access files and folders.

Tiles:

  • Various client-specific tiles – customized tiles with custom name, design, function, storage, accesses, with custom workflow and approval procedures. These tiles may also have other features set up other than those described in this manual.
  • File Manager – general access to the company’s master folder
  • My Documents – access to the employee’s own folder, this tile is used to share documents between HR and employees
  • Help – this tile is usually where your company’s internal manuals are stored
  • Payroll Uploads – used to upload documents for payroll processing

Please note a TULIP setup you see always depends on custom requirements and access settings of TULIP for your company. Not all companies use the File Manager functionality that allows you to work with files and folders.
