Learn how to create, view, edit, and delete company document types to organize compliance documents for contractor companies.

What are company document types?

Company document types allow you to categorize and organize the documents a contractor company uploads to your organization, such as employment contracts, business reports, and financial statements. Each type helps you track which documents a company has provided and monitor any missing or outdated documents for compliance.
