How to understand the files?
When you open the Folders tab for the first time, a default folder named ‘No folder’ will appear. It contains all documents that have not yet been placed in a specific folder. This folder cannot be deleted. The message ‘Create your first folder to organise your documents’ will remain on screen until you have created a custom folder.
How do you create a new folder?
To create a new folder, simply:
- Click on the + New Folder button at the top right of the screen.
- Give your folder a name (e.g. Contracts 2026, Recruitment Files, AMALSTORE Rufisque Documents).
- Confirm the creation. The folder will appear immediately in the list.
- You can then add documents to it or redirect document collections to it.
You can also:
- Create a folder for each site or department if your organisation comprises several entities (e.g. AMALSTORE Rufisque, AMALSTORE Dakar).
- Create a folder for each type of document collection campaign (e.g. 2026 Qualifications Collection, Licence Renewal).
- Link a target folder when creating a collection so that the documents received are automatically filed.
The ‘No Folder’ folder serves as a holding area: remember to file the documents in it regularly.
