Remove the Folder Grouping of Documents

Grouping the documents in the folder view is one of the worst changes Access Group has done since taking over People HR. Now is so difficult to access quickly a document if needed as it was before in order of the date you uploaded the document.

Describe the Challenge As per the below attachment it makes no sense to group them in folder and very difficult to access documents

      Agreed, the change to have the option to switch views is a great improvement

      Think the change to have folder view and list view has helped massively - we liked it before when it was a list view because you could always see the most recent document at the top - this helped to see if there were any variations in contract etc and which was the most recent

      I really like the option switch between the two.

      i like the option to switch between the two but is it possible to show more than 8 documents in the list view? 8 is not a lot. It used to be a whole page of them, at least 20 before moving to the next page. Is there a way to add an option for viewing more that 8 at a time?

      Maybe feedback should have been taken on this before making such a decision which is not popular. Sometimes the saying is worth listening too - if its not broke, dont fix it!

      The new folder system is making it harder to find unsigned documents and there is also no way of sorting the folders alphabetically or by date document added. Please can this be added a feature or just have an option to turn off folders.

      Great news that the option to switch off the 'folder view' is coming in January - it can't come soon enough but if we have to wait a couple more months then that is at least light at the end of the tunnel, thank you.

      I agree with the new grouping of documents into folders being a challenge. I also cannot see now, which document(s) need signing within an employees documents tab.

      Great news to hear we are to be given a choice re the folder set-up. Is there any indication of a timescale for a 'backlog' item? It doesn't sound as if this will be any time soon....

      Thanks

      Hi all, thanks for the feedback. We have added an item to our backlog to give users the option of whether to use the folder view or list view for documents.

      Thanks

      I like the grouping of the documents however I agree with the need for chronological order also. Also if an employee is a re-hire all their documents just go into the "pot" which in my opinion should be kept separate.

      I actually appreciate the feature as it helps categorise documents, especially when you have multiple ones assigned to users. However, I would like to see an Archive folder so that you simply have the most recent one readily avaialble in the employee's folder

      Definitely not an improvement, we should have the option of sorting the list alphabetically or chronologically at the very least.

      An option of categorised or chronological would be ideal. In the categorised list, sorting the list alphabetically rather than some apparently random ordering would good as well!

      Totally agree. It would be good for something to be added next to a document folder when an email gets sent to an employee stating they have a document to review. This would make it easier for them to see what document has been added rather than having to go through all the document folders one by one

    Toggle view of Employee Documents

    While in some instances the new view of subfolders for employees documents is useful, the other view also had its benefits in finding a particular document quickly.

    Document viewing

    In the Documents section, it doesn't show which category has documents outstanding for signature, you need to go into each document category to find out: there is no way of seeing all of the documents there is no way to change the order of the doc...

    New Document area

    The new documents area makes it 100x worse to navigate and it has not made it easier to use in the slightest.

    New Document Folder

    The new document folder is a failure. It is now very difficult to locate documents also some folders have the same name, making it very tedious.
