With the functions on this tab, you can make changes to the filing plan or request changes, start signature processes and directives, create reports, and automatically generate record objects.
# Filing plan
You can reach your filing plan via the repository.
The filing plan contains files with different statuses. You will recognize the statuses based on the color of the files:
- Green: The file is open and can be edited. Files can be closed and re-opened.
- Red: The file is closed and can no longer be edited. A closed file can be re-opened on request.
- Yellow: The file is locked and should no longer be edited. A locked file can be unlocked.
File references are generated automatically when creating files.

Files can be structured differently depending on your needs. They can be organized in file groups, or contain sub-files, cases, documents, or record objects.
