Home Forums Discussions Feedback and Recommendations Organizing Imported Items

After a couple of years of importing items, many charts are becoming cumbersome.

I know Bert's FAP is a solution, but I think there is a lot of work involved in transfering everything that is already imported into AC over to FAP. (Am I right, Bert?)

I don't like that all folders are open when entering Imports. Maybe a default open folder? I would like to make subfolders. I would like a way to archive Imports that are becoming dated. It takes longer to open Imported Items folder as you add more documents.

I think there is a lot of room to improve.

I've also noticed that drag and drop from a Vista desktop is not working for me in the newest version of AC.

I also think this would be a tremendous improvement. After importing a few years of mammograms, it would be nice to be able to make subfolders and lump them all together.

That's one of the ways I use PDF reDirect... to combine PDF files and organize the imported items. (thanks Wendell, for recommending this program back in a discussion about printing entire charts... I love it, especially the price [free]: www.exp-systems.com). If find it much faster than the "combine" feature on Adobe Standard.

You could print all those mammo reports to the PDF reDirect driver, then save it, import that file and name it "Mammograms 1999-2009" in the radiology folder... then delete the individual reports from the imported items window.
I do a similar process with notes/reports/etc from a hospital admission... grouping them in a nice appropriately named file.

I can do the same with Paperport but it is just another step that no one seems to have the time to do routinely. It would be much handier to have the ability to do this within AC
