You can drag files to a Content Manager window to check it in as a new record or attach it to an existing record.

The Documents page enables you to set the defaults for this function.

Use a check in style for new records - select this option to select a Check In Style to be used when checking in documents. The default settings applied to the Check In Style will be applied to the documents being checked in from this document queue. Click the KwikSelect to search for and select the Check In Style, or select one from the recently used drop-down list.

Use the following settings for new records - select this option to use the following defaults to be used when checking in documents.

- Default Record Type - the default Record Type for creating new dropped files.

  Can only be used when the fields on the New Record form use the document's details for metadata - for example, title and dates.

  NOTE: When there are mandatory fields that need to be filled in, Content Manager will display the form even when this option is not selected.
