The document type defines what the document represents and functions similarly to a folder. For instance, if you have documents that are employment contracts, their document type could be labeled as "Employment Contracts." This allows all such documents to be grouped under the same type, making them easy to locate in one place.

When creating a document for an employment contract, you can assign "Employment Contracts" as its document type. However, if no document types have been set up yet, the default option will be "Main folder," and all documents will be stored under that category by default.

The document type also serves as the basis for the access rights that determine who can see the documents in the account. You can read more about user groups here.
