It's checked for viruses and encrypted, and opens in a minute or two.
Good to Know
- Files can be a PDF, or a photo as JPEG, PNG or WebP. Save a Word document as a PDF first.
- Photos lose their location and other hidden details before they're stored.
- When a document is renewed, open its menu and choose Add a new version. Earlier versions stay in its history.
- Who can see a document is decided by its kind. See Set Up Document Types.
- Documents count against your plan's HR document storage.
If Something Goes Wrong
- It shows Being checked for a while. Virus checks take a minute or two. Refresh the page after that.
- It shows Refused. The file failed the check and was deleted. Scan or save it again and add it once more.
- A Ghana Card copy is refused. Agoo never keeps an image of a Ghana Card. Record the PIN on the HR record instead.
- It says storage is full. Remove documents nobody needs, or add an HR storage pack in ConsoleSettingsBilling.
