Document request list overview
Manage document request lists generated by Gather or created from templates.
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.
AI-Generated Document Request List
Document types appear here that were automatically generated from the organizer. We recommend you look over the list and remove or add the types of document as needed.
