Nucleus One fields allow you to highlight important information from your documents. These values can be used for index searches to find documents faster or to further organize your documents and folder trees. Nucleus One accepts multiple data types, including, plain text, dates, and numeric fields to name a few.

In order to add fields in Nucleus One, you must be a project or department member.

  1. Capture a document in Nucleus One or navigate to an existing document.
  2. Click the document to open it.
