Additional information is added to documents when they are filed. This information is entered and stored in what are known as keywording forms. In this chapter you will learn about the keywording of documents and how this document information is organized.

Keywording means assigning keywords to a document. The keywording information represents the document metadata. The quality of a repository is linked heavily to the quality of the keywording. Keywording forms allow you to organize documents in a standardized way and file them quickly to the repository. In addition, keywording information makes searching easier.

Information: ELO can extract keywording information from barcodes when the ELO Barcode module is installed. You can find more information on the ELO Barcode module and setting it up via the ELO Administration Console in the ELO Barcode user manual.
