Document request list overview

Show all hidden content.

Gather generates Document Request Lists based on the content of the uploaded organizer. These generated lists can be edited during processing or a template can be used instead. The document request list can also be edited after the request is delivered.

On the client side, the document request list is displayed. Gather AI attempts to recognize documents uploaded by the client.
