# Document Types

The Document Types settings page lets you manage the classification types used throughout the Document Management module. Every document uploaded to FleetFusion is assigned a type, and the AI document processing pipeline uses these types for automatic classification

## Overview

Go to **Settings > Document Types** to view and manage your document type definitions. The page displays a data grid of all configured types with options to add, edit, and delete entries.

## Common Document Types

FleetFusion includes several standard document types out of the box:

| Document Type             | Typical Use                                                               |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **MOT**                   | MOT test certificates for vehicles.                                       |
| **Invoice**               | Supplier invoices for maintenance, parts, and services.                   |
| **Inspection**            | Inspection reports and walkaround check records.                          |
| **Insurance Certificate** | Vehicle and fleet insurance documentation.                                |
| **Unclassified**          | Documents that have not yet been classified by a user or the AI pipeline. |

## What Document Types Are Used For

* **Document classification** -- Every document in the system is tagged with a type, making it easy to filter and find specific records.
* **AI processing** -- When a document is uploaded, FleetFusion's AI pipeline analyses it and suggests a document type. Accurate type definitions improve the quality of these suggestions.
* **Filtering and reporting** -- Document types appear as filters on the Documents page and in document-related reports.
* **Compliance tracking** -- Some compliance requirements specify that a document must be uploaded. The document type helps match uploaded documents to the correct requirement.

## How to Add a Document Type

1. Go to **Settings > Document Types**.
2. Click **+ Add Document Type**.
3. Enter the **Name** and any additional details.
4. Click **Save**.

Keep your document types aligned with the categories your team actually uses. Fewer, well-defined types lead to better AI classification and easier document retrieval.
