How To Save Information in M-Files

This video is all about how you can save to M-Files. Whenever you save a document to M-Files, you use metadata to tell the system what the document is and what it relates to. When using M-Files, you no longer save documents in a single folder. Rather, you save your documents to the M-Files drive (which can be found on your computer like any other drive). You do not need to specify any other location than the document vault, as M-Files locates the document in the correct views on the basis of the metadata you define in the metadata card.
