Document Stores (Self Hosted Customers Only)
Document Stores provide a means for storing physical files for XDOC in specified locations. All incoming XDOC documents will get stored in the active document store. There are separate Document Stores for the following documents and files.
- Loan Documents
- Annotation Images
- Reference Documents (if used)
- Bundled Documents
To access the Document Store feature, go to System Tab>System Resources>Document Stores. A list of existing document stores will open.

1. Click CREATE. The Document Store Editor appears.

| Root Path | Path for the documents. It may be easier to enter the Store ID as part of the path, for easy reference. |

3. Click SAVE to save you changes. Assigning a Document Store Once you have created a new Document Store and clicked the Active checkbox, you must assign this store as the active in the XDOC Admin.

All new documents should flow to the new store. 
Best practices for document stores
- Document stores should be no larger than 1-2 TB depending on your file system.
- You can have as many doc stores as you want, but there will only ever be one active store for new documents.
- The BUNDLE store contains a copy of every bundle sent and is not automatically cleaned up. From time to time you should go into the store to empty the contents.
