Why Use Miscellaneous Files?
Miscellaneous files are a good idea when used as a holding zone for documents. i.e. Documents received, being stored for a short time or documents not important enough to create a new file. Setting up a Miscellaneous System, involves placing one “Miscellaneous” file at the beginning of each letter section in an alphabetical system, or at the beginning of each Broad Category in a Subject System. They can be coloured differently to all other files, so as to highlight the beginning of a new section. How To Reduce Costs Associated With Filing If traditional filing methods are being used involving a file folder being placed within a suspension pocket (in a Drawer cabinet or shelving), by converting to lateral colour code files, you automatically merge the file-folder and suspension-pocket into one unit. The cost of one Colour Coded File, is generally substantially cheaper than the combined cost of the file-folder and suspension-pocket.
