Add, Edit, or Delete Private Folders and Records

Review includes folders in which you, case administrators, or system administrators can place records (actually, “pointers” to specific records within the Ipro for desktop database) for your personal needs. For example, perhaps you need to check details on particular records, or organize case documents for a custodian or deponent. You can easily keep track of such records in personal folders, called Private Folders. Private Folders are folders into which you drag records for reference. As their name implies, private folders are seen only by the person who creates them. For more information on personal folders, see Overview: Personal Folders.

There are several ways that folders can be created and records can be added to them. Click any of the links below to jump to the task you want to complete, or scroll down to review each procedure.
