# Overview & Requirements

The Document Processor window allows you to upload various document types - such as photos, articles, results, referrals, correspondence, and clinical notes - and seamlessly file them into a patient's medical record.  

This window contains multiple fields, some of which may/may not be relevant to you or your organisation. To address this, we've made some of these fields configurable in that they can be included or excluded from the Document Processor window. 

This article provides details on how to configure the fields displayed in the Document Processor window. 

It is mainly meant for System Administrators and technical users. It may also be relevant to clinical and non-clinical users.

## Requirements

- Available in Profile 9.0.9 and above

**Note:&#xA0;**&#x46;rom Profile Version 9.0.9 and above, some of the field names and functionality found within the Document Processor have changed:
**From&#xA0;**&#x68;as been changed to **Source Author**
**POS&#xA0;**&#x68;as been changed to **Source Facility**
In the **Source Facility** drop-drown list, the **Ad Hoc** option has been added. This option is useful if a facility is not yet in your system. Users simply select the **Ad Hoc&#xA0;**&#x6F;ption from the drop-down list, and can then type in the name of the facility in the free-text space directly to the right.
