These are organizational tools designed to facilitate the systematic arrangement and retrieval of documents within a filing system. Typically constructed from plastic or cardstock, these accessories feature alphabetically ordered identifiers and attach to the top edge of hanging file folders, allowing for quick categorization and access to contents.
Their implementation streamlines office workflow and reduces the time spent searching for specific files. By providing a clear visual index, these aids contribute to improved administrative efficiency and a more organized workspace. The concept of alphabetical filing has a long history in record-keeping, and these represent a modern adaptation for suspension filing systems.
