1. The Current Situation/Problem:
When an user attempts to copy a document and use the "Create new folder" button within the folder selection interface, the new folder is exclusively created within the source document's current directory (e.g., "02 CORRESPONDÊNCIA"). This design requires users to exit the document copying workflow, navigate to the desired target location, manually create a new folder, and then return to the document copying process to select that newly created folder. This multi-step process is inefficient and counter-intuitive for users who wish to create a new folder directly within their intended destination path during the copy operation.
2. The Proposed Solution:
Enhance the "Create new folder" functionality within the document copying interface to allow users to create a new folder at any selected location within the document management system, not just within the source document's folder. This would involve:
Allowing the "Create new folder" button to be active and functional regardless of the currently navigated folder in the selection interface.
Ensuring that the newly created folder is placed directly within the folder that the user has currently highlighted or navigated to in the folder selection tree.
3. The Benefits:
Increased Efficiency: Streamlines the document copying process by eliminating the need for users to exit and re-enter the workflow to create a new destination folder.
Improved User Experience: Makes the interface more intuitive and user-friendly, aligning the "Create new folder" button's behavior with common expectations for file management systems.
Reduced Clicks and Time: Saves valuable time for employees by reducing the number of steps and clicks required to copy documents to new, unexisting folders.
Enhanced Productivity: Contributes to overall higher productivity by simplifying a frequently performed task.
