How to set up NetDocuments

How Do I Set Up NetDocuments?

The below steps will walk you through some updates that will need to be made in your NetDocuments account, so you can access files stored in NetDocuments right through your  Zola Suite account.

  1. In the Admin section of your NetDocuments account, select the menu option in the upper-left corner (three horizontal lines)
  2. Click Profile Attributes



  3. Click Create and add an attribute for "Client" (must use lookup table):



  4. After creating the Client profile attribute, add a profile attribute for "Matter" (this too requires “use  lookup table”, and should set "Link to parent" to Client)



  5. Additionally create a Profile Attribute for Responsible Attorney, Practice Area, and Location. All Should be of type Text and Use lookup Table

    The below steps will be required for any Cabinets you wish to use in Zola Suite.

  6. At the top left, click on  Define workspace templates
  7. Set the following:
  • For "Base workspaces on this attribute", select "Matter"
  • Check the “Enable workspaces in this cabinet”
  • Click “Save Templates”

Creating New Workspaces

With this integration, users can, with a single click, create a matter in Zola Suite, a workspace in NetDocuments, and have the two linked.

  1. Enter the Matter Dashboard for the selected Matter
  2. In the NetDocuments tab, select the Cabinet and Workspace to Link
