This is the home of native files. If there is a movie clip or spreadsheet associated with the collection, this is where is must reside. Of course, once on the folder, the full path will be:
X:\ATTACH\CLIENT#\MATTER#\DATABASE NAME\VOLUME\ATTACH\
FOLDERS |
CONTENT |
D:\[VOLUME NAME]\ATTACH\0001\ |
The first 1,000 native files |
D:\[VOLUME NAME]\ATTACH\0002\ |
The next 1,000 native files |
D:\[VOLUME NAME]\ATTACH\0003\ |
And so on… |
D:\[VOLUME NAME]\ATTACH\0004\ |
…and so forth |
D:\[VOLUME NAME]\ATTACH\0005\ |
|
NOTE: Zero-Padding is very important. This is especially true if you have 9999 subfolders.
One of the reasons why it is important to have a standard number of native files per folder is so that Litigation Support can easily determine where missing attachments may reside.
