Document types are community-configurable tags that let you categorize each file uploaded in Personal Documents (for example: Pay Stubs, Bonuses, Contracts). You can create them, assign them when sending documents, edit them in bulk, and filter by them to quickly find files.
-
Go to the Admin Panel → Apps → Documents → Settings → Document Type section.
From there you can:
- Create new types with any name you want (e.g., "First Half", "Bonus", "Contracts").
- Edit the name of an existing type.
- Delete a type. Documents that had this type assigned will become unclassified, but they won't be deleted and collaborators won't be affected.
Types are set per community — each community manages its own types independently. When this feature is enabled, all communities automatically get a set of default types (pay stubs, contracts, forms, etc.) that you can edit or delete.

The Document Type field (optional) is available in all three sending flows:
Flow Where it appears Bulk Send Step 2 "Define document," before the Prefix field. Individual Send Optional field in the send form. Upload one-to-many users Optional field in that segmentation flow. If you don't select a type, the document will be sent without a classification. This field is not required.
- In the All Files table, there's a new Document Type column between "Sent by" and "Status".
- Individual editing: from the 3-dot menu on each document, you can assign or change the type at any time.
- Bulk assignment: select multiple documents and assign a type to all of them at once.
-
In the filter panel of All Files, there's a Document Type section with a single-option selector. When you apply the filter, the table will only show files of the selected type.
