Filing System Tip
When working with clients to create a filing system, one of my favorite easy tips is to make sure and use only ONE hanging file per file folder. Here is why:
- Ease of movement: The files more more easily when they are stored one per hanging folder
- Ease of replacement: As a file is removed for use, its empty hanging file will indicate where the missing file needs to be returned.
- Prevents hiding: Files of the same tab position can “hide” behind each other if stored in the same hanging file. We therefore use hanging files to provide seperation between files.
Hope this tip helps!
