Altru Digital Filing

Scanning and sorting documents

  1. Scan the documents and send to Membership Associate, who will drop files into the Altru-Digital Filing folder (in the Student Worker Box folder)
  2. Once you have the files, drag-and-drop to separate documents from the scan and name the files with this naming convention: YYYYMMDD Jane Doe Gift or YYYYMMDD Jane Doe Letter, using the date on the document (the transaction date for gift documentation and the letter date for a membership card letter)
