Introduction to Rack2-Filer
This chapter describes features of Rack2-Filer, how the data is managed in
Rack2-Filer, the layout of windows in Rack2-Filer, and the basic operation
workflow of Rack2-Filer.
Rack2-Filer User's Guide |23
Chapter 1 Introduction to Rack2-Filer
1.1 Features
Rack2-Filer is application software that makes the management(*) and viewing
of document data on your computer possible.
(*) The data in Rack2-Filer is managed in PDF files.
The features of Rack2-Filer:
• Easy to understand and operate
The user interface makes you feel as if you are taking paper files from a
bookshelf, and allows you to turn pages and add sticky notes directly
and naturally.
• Easy to search for information
You can effectively and efficiently find specific files based on search
conditions such as the "Title" or "Sticky Note" contents.
• No space is needed for keeping paper work
Since the software allows you to scan files and documents as source
files for management and sorting, no space is needed for storing large
quantities of paper and files.
• Information can be shared between groups
You can place data in a network folder and share it between multiple
users.

Rack2-Filer uses the terms "Library", "Cabinet", and "Binder" for the
management of data, so as to facilitate intuitive and easy file management on
the computer.
The data storage areas of the "Libraries", "Cabinets" and "Binders" are called
"LibRoot" (Library Root). LibRoot folders can be set to any folder.
• You can set up to 3 LibRoot folders.
• In one LibRoot folder, you can create up to 6 libraries.
• In one library, you can create up to 20 cabinets.
• In one cabinet, you can create up to 21 binders.
In total, up to 2,520 (6 x 20 x 21) binders can be managed per LibRoot folder in
Rack2-Filer.
Up to 1,000 pages can be managed in a "Binder".
The relationship between the three terms is illustrated as follows:

You can set any names for the "LibRoot folders", "Libraries", "Cabinets", and
"Binders".
For instance, it is easy for companies to understand and to manage libraries,
etc. by naming them with names from their organization.
The following is an example:
26 | Rack2-Filer User's Guide
Do not directly edit the data (rename or move the file or the
folder) stored in a LibRoot folder using other applications.
The data may not be shown correctly in Rack2-Filer.
