How to allocate documents to your package
To allocate a document to a package you need to place an ‘x’ in the correlating box. To allocate an ‘x’, click on a box. To help you identify which package a document is being allocated to, when hovering over a square a ‘tooltip’ will outline the package name and document name. To remove a document from a package simply click on the 'x' to clear the selection.
