In the fast-paced business environment, effective management of crucial documents is vital for smooth operations and strategic decision-making. Foundercrate’s Data Rooms feature offers a secure and organized way to manage all your important documents in one place while controlling access on an exclusive basis.

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Data Room, customizing it to fit your needs, and adding documents efficiently. Let’s get started and transform how you manage your business documentation.

Step 1: Accessing the Dashboard and Locating Data Rooms

First, log into your Foundercrate account and access the main dashboard. Here, you'll find various features and tools tailored to help you manage your business effectively. Look for the 'Data Rooms' feature in the navigation menu. This is your gateway to creating and managing secure document storage spaces.

Step 2: Creating a New Data Room

Once in the Data Rooms section, click on the 'Create Data Room' button. This will open the data room creation window, where you can start setting up a new data room tailored to your specific needs.

Step 3: Entering Data Room Details

In the creation window, fill in the required fields such as the ‘Title of the Data Room’ and its ‘Subtitle’ to give an appropriate name and description that reflect the contents and purpose of the room. These details help in identifying and organizing data rooms efficiently.

Step 4: Customizing the Data Room

Enhance your Data Room by adding an icon and a background image. Choose an image that represents the content or purpose of the room. This visual customization not only makes the data room more appealing but also aids in quicker identification. After uploading your images and ensuring all information is correct, click the ‘Save changes’ button to proceed.

Step 5: Editing and Adding Documents

Navigate to the Data Rooms overview section to see your newly created Data Room. Click on the three dots on the top right of the card displaying your Data Room and select the ‘Edit’ option to start adding documents. This is where you can manage the contents of your Data Room.

Step 6: Organizing Documents in Folders

To keep your documents organized, click on ‘Add Folder’. Name the folder appropriately to reflect the documents it will contain. This organizational step is crucial for maintaining a structured document storage system. Click on ‘Create Folder’ once you have entered the name.
