Document type lists group sets of document types together in order to build groups of document types that are specific to one department, process, or set of business rules.
Document type lists let you provide users with a filtered view or subset of the entire list of defined document types. For example, you can map a document type list to a LearnMode application plan to filter the available document types to assist the user in determining the correct document types to assign to documents. You can set the order of the documents in the list, and a document type can be included in multiple document type lists.
You can assign users or groups with Document, Explorer/Folder Viewer, Viewer, and Document Management privileges by each document type but not document type list. These action privileges apply at the same level as Drawer privileges, so you can assign privileges by drawer or document type.
