# NautilusLog IHM – Dockshelf Guide

## Welcome to the NautilusLog IHM – DockShelf User Guide. This guide provides an overview and outlines the key functions of the DockShelf feature.

---

The Dockshelf is a Centralized File Management feature designed to streamline the storage and management of compliance-related files and documents for vessels.

**Functionalities:**

- Users can effortlessly create new shelves using the “**Add Shelf**” function and easily drag and drop files into their chosen shelf.
- Each user account comes with a **free version** of Dockshelf (**Freemium**), which allows for the storage of up to **15 files**.
- To accommodate more files, an upgrade to the **premium version** of Dockshelf is necessary, which offers **unlimited storage.**

---

### **Accessing the Dockshelf in a Vessel Project:**

**Where are my results or documents? (Quick Start)**

If you're looking for lab results, IHM certificates, or any compliance documents for your vessel:

- Log in and click the **Projects** icon and click on  your vessel to open it.

- Once you enter your vessel, click the **DockShelf** tab (next to the **Project** tab).

**About shelves:**

- Documents in DockShelf are organized into shelves folders your organization sets up and names (for example, by document type, test package, or reporting period).
- Shelf names vary by vessel, since anyone with access can create new ones. If you're not sure which shelf holds what you need, check **INBOX** first that's where newly added files land before they're sorted or ask whoever manages DockShelf for your vessel.
