Working with Electronic Files

A Laserfiche entry is considered an electronic document if an electronic file (i.e., Word document, PDF, Excel spreadsheet, etc.) is associated with it. The electronic file is the file itself, whereas an electronic document is a document in Laserfiche that contains an electronic file.

By default, opening an electronic document will display the electronic file in its native application (i.e., Microsoft Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, etc.) You can also configure how electronic files will be opened.. You can make changes to the electronic file and save those changes to Laserfiche.

Note: To find out which files will be stored as electronic files, see Determining How Files are Stored and Viewed.
