How to Set Up and Customize Policy Documents for Your Business

Aptien offers easy customization options that allow you to adjust the default settings to fit your company’s unique needs and organize your policy documents in the most efficient way. Here are some best practices to keep in mind. While there are different ways to organize policies, the following method is the most commonly used:

  • Group policies by topic using clear, specific categories
  • Use these categories to manage how employees access and view policies through the policy portal
  • Create additional classifications, such as confidentiality levels, using custom lists you set up

Additional Categorization Options

If the basic categories don’t fully meet your needs, you can enhance classification by using your own custom lists (where each document is assigned a single category) or by applying tags for more flexibility.

  • categorieze documents using a CUSTOM LIST
  • You can also use tags to organize or filter your documents
