Getting Started with the Document Library - Track and Manage All Compliance Documents
Compliance involves tracking, organizing, and managing a large volume of many different types of documents related to compliance initiatives. The Compliance application provides you with several means of storing and organizing documents that greatly facilitates locating and managing them. In addition to associating documents with compliance records (regulations, compliance programs, requirements, events, contracts, contract terms, and locations), you can associate a document with a document folder, or you can assign a document to a category and type that facilitates locating it.
