Using E-Filing

E-Filing in ProLine is an optional module and will be available only it is activated. This article explains how you know E-Filing is activated and how to use it.

ProLine E-filing system enables the user to attach relevant files for filing purpose.

Instead of sifting through a number of folders to look for customer files in your “My Documents”, with ProLine E-Filing you can easily attach the relevant files – documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, images & project files.

You may also attach photos and related files for your Contacts in the Contacts Card & photos for your stock items too!

Is E-Filing Activated?

• Upon login into ProLine, you will notice a message on the status bar (bottom left) that states:
  “Initializing storage for attachments…”
• And if everything is well, the message will displayed as: “Ready”
• If the FTPS server is not running or properly configured, you will get the error :
  “Error initializing storage! Attachment disabled”
• This assumes that the ProLine edition you are using includes the E-Filing feature.

Attachments Everywhere

Once E-Filing is active, you will see an icon of a paperclip with the blue word Attachments.

Click on this word to open the attachment window.

Drag-n-Drop Files

Here, you may browse through your computer on the left of the attachment window and then drag-n-drop your files into the e-Filing server section on the top right.
