   2. Document folder: The location where the patient's documents reside (typically the path to the A to Z folder).
   3. File extension: Indicates the format of the file (e.g., doc, odt).
4. Set up a clickable bridge button.
   1. Under Add a button to these toolbars, highlight where to display the button.
   2. Enter the Text on button.
   3. (Optional) Import an image to show on the button (22 x 22 pixels).
