IT Policies
Hardware policy for new and current employees
eFileCabinet's IT department has collaborated with our executive team to determine the standard equipment needed for each employee's role. Below is a list of standard equipment we issue, note there are variations to the below based on role and business need. As a reminder, all such equipment is provided at the cost of the company and must be returned by the employee at the time employment is terminated.
Office Only or Hybrid Employees
Standard equipment provided in the office:
- Laptop computer
- Hub or dock
- External keyboard or mouse
- External monitors
- Headsets for those employees who are required to make phone calls in their position
- Desk phones as needed for employees who are required to make phone calls in their position
Equipment available upon request for an employee's home office:
- External monitor
- Additional power supply for computer
Equipment available upon request for an out-of-state employee's home office:
- Laptop computer
- Hub or dock
- An external keyboard and mouse
- An external monitor
- A headset if the job position requires them to make phone calls
Computer Life Cycle
- Each employee computer has a life cycle of three years. The start date of the life cycle is the day it was purchased and not the day it was given to an employee. When a computer reaches the end of three years, the IT team will reach out to the employee with instructions for moving to a new computer.
- There is some flexibility to this policy based on employee preference and current budget.
Hardware Policy for exiting employees
Current policy is that when an employee leaves they are required to return all Company property. Anything they fail to return is deducted from their last paycheck.

Exiting Employees
Accessing Email from a former employee
Important Note:
Generally, when an employee leaves the company, their Google account is deleted and all of their email is removed with that. We have a 20 day window to restore the account. If you know you will need to access email from a former employee, you must inform IT BEFORE that employee leaves. If you are able, you should work with the employee while they are still employed so they can forward the necessary emails to your account. After that, email forwarding should be all that is necessary going forward.
Options for accessing a former employee's email
For each option, please realize that this should be communicated to IT via ticket before the employee leaves.
Option 1 - A downloadable archive of all email - Recommended for long term archival needs
We can download all of the employee's email from Google and upload it to a portable instance of the Thunderbird email client. To view the email you would need to download this file and open it. Downloading email from Google can take several days.
In most cases this should be the preferred option as it allows us to delete the employee's account while retaining the email.
Option 2 - Receive delegate access for the account - Recommended for short term access
This can either be setup by the employee before they leave, or IT can set this up after the employee leaves. When this is setup you will receive an email from Google asking you to accept delegate access. Once you do, you will be able to switch from your account to the delegate account within Gmail. This will allow you to send and receive email as the former employee.
This is a temporary solution only as this requires us to pay for an active Google account for the former employee. If you prefer to do this method, you must submit a ticket to IT and include the date that access can be removed.
Option 3 - Receive login credentials for the account - Not recommended
With approval, you can request login credentials and login as the former employee. This is not recommended and should only be used for very short term emergencies.
This is a temporary solution only as this requires us to pay for an active Google account for the former employee. If you prefer to do this method, you must submit a ticket to IT and include the date that access can be removed.
How to setup and use an email alias
A note about email aliases and email addresses
When you are assigned an email address, that will become your username for almost all services you use here. In some instances (for example a name change), rather than assigning a completely new account, an alias can be provided. This alias can be used to send and receive email but will not be used for any logins.
- To request an email alias, please submit a ticket to ithelp.efilecabinet.com or send an email to ithelp@efilecabinet.com. Specify what you would like the alias to be and why you need it.
- An alias will be created for you. When someone sends an email to your alias, your email will go to your main email account. An alias forwards email only and is not an account that can be used to login to anything.
- After IT has notified you that your alias has been created, please send an email to that account to verify that it is working. I recommend a personal account to do this (if you send it from your main work account it may arrive to your inbox as being read and you might miss it). Please note that it can take a few hours for the alias to sync and be active. Please do not continue to the next steps until you have verified that your alias is receiving email.
- If you would like to send emails using the alias email address, you will need to click on the settings (gear icon) in the upper right corner of Gmail.
- Press the "See all settings" button.
- Go to the Accounts tab.
- Click on the link to "Add another email address"
- Enter your alias email address then click on "Next Step"
- If you want to make your alias your default email address you can click the "make default" link
- When you compose a new email, you will now have a dropdown in the "From" field and you can choose the email address you would like to send the email as.
Tips and Tricks
General tips and tricks to make your life easier.
Revver IT Tips and Tricks
Muting and Sending Mass emails in Gmail.
Mute Email Threads
Have you ever received an informative email that is not really meant to be replied to but people reply anyhow AND they "reply all" so everyone gets their response?
If you don't want to be a part of that conversation, you can simply click on the triple dot icon at the top of the email (next to the label icon in Gmail) then select "Mute." Now all replies will be marked as read. You will still have the email in your inbox and all the replies but you won't have to worry about it showing up in your inbox or getting notifications for new replies.
(Note; from the tests I ran it appears that you cannot mute an email from someone if they only send the email to you. If they send an email to you and at least one other person, then muting the email will result in all follow up emails in that thread skipping the "inbox" and going directly to "all mail." The email shows up as unread in the "all mail" folder but you do not get a notification for it.)
Send a mass email that does not allow "reply all"
Sometimes it is useful to send out a newsletter type email that people can unsubscribe to in case they are not interested in receiving follow-up emails (just like this one!). Google has higher tier subscriptions that have built-in "multi-send mode" to send emails and there are also third party services that offer mail merge integration, but most employees here don't have access to that, so the best workaround is:
- Instead of entering emails in the "To" or "Cc" fields, only enter emails in the "Bcc" field. This way it will only show the recipient and the sender so the recipient does not have an option to reply all.
- (If you want the recipient to be able to "unsubscribe" from future replies in that thread, you could insert a blurb at the bottom that says something like "To unsubscribe from future replies, please "mute" this thread by pressing the Mute option next to the label icon in Gmail.")
Lock your computer before leaving your desk
This is something you should do EVERY time you leave your computer (this is good practice even at home; especially if you have kids or pets).
- Windows: Windows Key + L
- macOS: Control + ⌘ + Q
Advanced Copying and Pasting
Paste from your clipboard history
Remember a few copies ago when you copied someone's name and you want to paste it again but you already copied something else that is in the clipboard? No worries, paste from the clipboard history.
- Windows: Windows Key + V
- macOS: You will have to use a third party like Clipy to get this functionality.
Paste without formatting
Most of the time when we copy text, we want to paste it without pasting the formatting. Unfortunately, pressing ctrl + v to paste defaults to pasting with formatting. To paste without formatting, you can press ctrl + shift + V
- Windows: Ctrl + shift + V
- Mac: Shift + Option + Command + V (Note; on a Mac you can actually paste without formatting as the default by changing your Keyboard Shortcut in Apple menu > System Preferences > Keyboard > App Shortcuts)
Get maximum productivity from Slack
Only show unread messages
- Showing only your unread messages makes it much easier to find and prioritize your messages. As soon as someone messages you it will be the only thing in Slack to show up. When you read or reply to the message it goes away keeping all your conversations clean. If you need to get back to the message you can either search for the person who sent you the message or you can click on your direct messages to find it there.
- Go to your profile icon (bottom left) > Preferences > Home> Show... Unreads only
- Note; you can also do this for just individual sections by right clicking on the section and selecting "Show and Sort" and selecting "Unreads only" or "Mentions only"
- Here is what unread messages looks like vs all messages:
Quickly Compose a new message
- The fastest way to send a message to someone is to use the shortcut ⌘ + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows and Linux) then type in the name of who you wish to send a message to.
Send a reminder to yourself
- Use the /remind command in any chat window to remind yourself to do something at a later time. For example, you could write "/remind me to drink water in 1 hour" and in 1 hour Slack will send you a notification to drink water.
Take a screenshot of a section of your screen and save to the clipboard
- Windows: Windows Key + Shift + S
- macOS: Shift + ⌘ + 4 (Note: this saves the screenshot to the desktop)
Take advanced screenshots (gif, screencasts, annotations, arrows, etc)
Create a new Google Docs file without opening Google Docs
- Document: https://document.new
- Spreadsheet: https://spreadsheet.new
- Presentation: https://presentation.new
Desktop window snapping
- Windows: Windows Key + Right/Left arrow - Snaps the window to the right or left of screen. Can move window across multiple monitors. Windows Key + Up/Down arrow - Maximize or minimize windows. (Note; Windows 11 handles this much better than Windows 10 and is one reason you may want to consider upgrading.
- macOS: In the top left of the window you want to snap, hover over the green icon and select one of the snapping options.
Safely check links for phishing attempts
There are many services that will allow you to paste a link and they will check the link for malicious content so you don't have to click on it. Here are a handful of services:
- https://easydmarc.com/tools/phishing-url
- https://www.emailveritas.com/url-checker
- https://checkphish.ai/
- https://www.psafe.com/dfndr-lab/
Useful Google Sheet shortcuts
- Windows
- Ctrl + Shift + Alt + : - Inserts the current date and time
- Ctrl + Shift + : - Inserts the current time
- Ctrl + Shift + V - Paste values only
- macOS
Improve how you highlight words for copying and pasting
- Windows:
- Use Ctrl + arrow keys to navigate to the end of the word.
- Use Shift + arrow keys to highlight where the cursor moves.
- Use Ctrl + Shift keys and arrows to navigate to the end of the word while highlighting.
- Use the home and end keys to move the cursor to the beginning or end of the sentence.
- Use the home and end keys with shift to highlight the entire sentence.
- Ctrl + Backspace to delete a word at a time
- Bonus: Ctrl + Insert copies and Shift + Insert pastes (this can be done with your right hand)
- Use Ctrl + arrow keys to navigate to the end of the word.
- macOS:
Gmail Tricks
- Periods / Dots don't matter
- Gmail does not count periods in email addresses. For example, Gmail treats johndoe@gmail.com, john.doe@gmail.com, and jo.hn.do.e@gmail.com all as the same email address.
- How can I use this? - If you have a user name, that might be a bit ambiguous, you could use periods to make it more clear. For example, if you had a scrap metal company and your email address was bobscrap@gmail.com, you could write it like bob.scrap@gmail.com to avoid possible confusion.
- You can setup "Undo" send
- If you go to Settings > General you can turn on an option to undo send. You can specify up to 30 seconds how long Gmail should wait allowing you to unsend. Obviously this postpones emails from going out immediately but it can save you from sending an email that you realize at the last second you probably should not send.
- How can I use this? - Sometimes we accidentally send an email before we really want to. Examples; You send an email then immediately read it and realize we have a typo. You press send when you mean to save as a draft. After you send you realize there is something else that you needed to say.
- You can use the "+" sign to create a pseudo alias
- If you add a "+" sign to your email address, then you can write anything you want after that and emails to this address will still go to your email inbox. Example myemailaddress+icanwriteanythingiwanthere@email.com
- How can I use this?
- You can use this to sign up for a test or trial service. Example: myemail+trial1@email.com, myemail+trial2@email.com, myemail+trial3@email.com
- You can use this for signing up for random services. This can help you track down spam as well to enable you to filter easily. Example: myemail+randomnewsletter@email.com
- You can use this to sign up for something you know is a one time thing and you won't want any follow-up emails. For example, you could create a filter that looks for "junkmail@email.com" and automatically deletes or marks those emails as read. Then when you sign up with a service using "myemail+junkmail@email.com" you will never see any follow-up emails from that service (but if your filter only marks as read you can still search for those emails in case you need to click on a confirmation link).
Browser Navigation
- Reopen recently closed tab
- Ctrl + Shift + T will open the most recently closed tab. You can press ⌘ + Shift + T if you’re on Mac
Reduce Startup Apps (Windows)
Over time a computer's performance and especially startup time may become impacted as software is installed and there are more startup apps. Chances are there are many apps that are starting up automatically that you never use. Fortunately, it is really easy to set these apps to not startup after boot.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager. Click on the Startup tab. Select any program in the list you don't want to auto-start and click the Disable button.
Quick and simple text editor built into browser (Note; this will work on most browsers)
- If you place the following in a new tab it will open a text editor:
-
data:text/html, <title>Text Editor</title><body contenteditable style="font-size:2rem;font-family:georgia;line-height:1.4;max-width:60rem;margin:0 auto;padding:4rem;">
- Save this as a bookmark on your bookmarks bar to open it easily on a new tab.
- Once you have opened it a few times you should be able to just type "text editor" in a new tab and it will show up as part of your history.
- You can customize the code before you paste is for more customizations (like a smaller font).
-
Segment Work (and personal) Profiles
Chrome, Windows and Mac all have options to allow you to use separate profiles or desktops. This will allow you to segment your work. There are many advantages to doing this. For example, in Chrome, you can have multiple different profiles that will allow you to be logged into the same service but as different users. In Windows and Mac you can have separate desktops to allow you to isolate workflows or tasks. This can also be used to help you separate work tasks from personal tasks.
Chrome - Multiple Profiles:
Why you should set this up: This will allow you to easily keep work items and personal items completely separate. This is also useful for testing various things; for example, you could log into a service as a user and log into the same service in a different profile as an admin. This is very useful for front-end and UI development as well as dev and QA testing.
- Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the browser.
- Click the option to add a new profile. You can also navigate to other created profiles.
- You can have multiple profiles at once.
- Notes: While it is possible to be logged into work and personal Gmail at the same time in the same Chrome profile it is much better to use separate profiles for this. This way you will not accidentally create a Google doc in the wrong account.
Windows - Multiple Desktops:
Why you should use this: This again can be useful for segmenting work and personal data as well as keeping projects separate.
- Click on the "Desktop" icon in the taskbar, or press Windows Key + Tab, or press Ctrl + Windows Key + right/left arrow.
macOS- Multiple Desktops/Spaces:
Temporarily Silence Notifications

Use built-in Windows Sandbox environment for quick testing
Windows has a built in sandbox environment that you can use for testing. It is a lightweight desktop environment that allows you to run software in isolation. You can find more information about this here.
- To enable Sandboxing, open "Windows Features" and enable Windows Sandbox (you will need to restart your computer).
- To open a new Sandbox, type in "Sandbox" in the Windows search bar
Why would you want to use this feature?
One of the best use cases for this sandbox environment would be to quickly install and test software that you do not want to be permanently installed on your computer. This might be so you can test the functionality of the software or so you can check new software for bugs. This is also useful for testing browser extensions that you are unfamiliar with.
Can you use this for malware?
While this does run in an isolated environment, the sandbox still has network access. The only way to be 100% safe from malware is to not open it. This can however be used to check links that you think are safe but want to cautiously open. If you choose to use it for this you should still not open any files that might be downloaded from a suspected link.
Ditch your file manager for something more powerful
You don't have to use your built-in file manager. There are many file managers that give you additional options like split panes to make dragging and dropping files much easier.
- Windows - Q-Dir - This is my personal favorite. I like Q-Dir because it opens up the same file addresses I had open when I closed it. I also like how I have have many different views and panes. This works well if you have a certain workflow for moving and dragging and dropping files.
- Mac - muCommander - Not quite as powerful as Q-Dir but when you use a Mac you have far fewer options for cool nerdy things like extra file managers.
Focus Assist or Do Not Disturb modes
These are modes that turn off notifications. Very helpful if you are in a call or meeting (especially if you are sharing your screen) so you don't get notifications.
Focus Assist is a feature in Windows designed to help you minimize distractions by filtering notifications. It allows you to selectively block notifications, sounds, and alerts to create uninterrupted periods for work or focus.
You can customize Focus Assist to:
- Block all notifications: No interruptions at all.
- Allow priority notifications: Only allow notifications from specific people or apps.
- Allow alarms only: Only allow alarms to sound.
Do Not Disturb is the macOS equivalent of Focus Assist. It serves the same purpose of reducing interruptions. However, it offers slightly different features and customization options.
Similar to Focus Assist, Do Not Disturb allows you to:
- Silence all notifications: No alerts or sounds.
- Allow calls from favorites: Only allow calls from specified contacts.
Additionally, Do Not Disturb on Mac often includes options for:
- Scheduling: Setting specific times for Do Not Disturb to automatically activate.
- Repeating: Setting recurring Do Not Disturb periods.
Windows login reminder bug
Several employees are seeing a bug where a "Windows logon reminder" notification will say that "Your password has expired."
This notification will come up daily even after changing your password.
Until this bug is fixed by Windows, the simplest solution is to simply to turn off the notification for this. To do that, click on the "..." in the upper right hand corner of the notification and select the option to "Turn off all notifications for Windows logon reminder"
New Hire and Exit Procedures and Training
New Hire Onboarding - IT Information
Revver IT Information
Welcome to Revver! If there is ever an issue with your hardware or software please don't hesitate to contact the IT team. This page is designed specifically for new hires to become acquainted with things related to IT while working here at Revver. Please read through this entire article.
A note about phishing / smishing
Bad actors are always on the lookout for people updating their LinkedIn profile or moving to a new company. As a new employee your are a special target for email and text message attacks. If you receive an email that seems suspicious, please double check the email address that it is coming from. If someone sends you a text message claiming to be an executive or colleague, please know that unless you have explicitly given out your phone number, you should not expect a text message from a colleague. If ever you are in doubt, please use Slack as a way to confirm an email or text message.
You will be required to complete security training after completing this IT onboarding training.
USB Storage Devices are Disabled
As a policy we have disabled the ability to use USB storage devices to transfer data. USB storage devices an introduce several security issues; as a company we use cloud storage such as Revver or Google Drive for backing up or transferring files.
Note about eFileCabinet
Revver was previously known as eFileCabinet. You may see some documentation or screenshots that still refer to eFileCabinet. Please note that while we are continually changing old documentation and images you are still likely to read or see something that references our old name.
Hardware
Each employee is provided a laptop and up to two external monitors if they work in the office and a single monitor if they work remote. Employees can also be given a USB-C hub, and external mouse and keyboard upon request. If you need additional hardware for your role, you can make a request via an IT ticket.
Please take your computer home daily.
You are expected to take good care of your computer. If your computer incurs hardware damage, it should be reported to IT immediately so it can be repaired or replaced.
Computer Life Cycle
Each computer has a three to four year life cycle. This is determined by the purchase date of the computer and not the date you received it. Once the computer has reached the end of its life cycle, IT will reach out to the employee using it and offer an upgraded computer. The old computer will be repurposed as a test or team machine or sold as surplus.
Software Installation
Your computer will come with the OS default software installed. If you need to install additional software, the best method for doing this is by opening "Company Portal" and browsing the approved software available there (you can do this by searching for "company portal" in the Windows search bar or Mac spotlight search).
While you can install software outside of the software in Company Portal, we ask that you submit a ticket to IT before installing any software that you have any concerns with. IT can then either add the software to the Company Portal or give you approval to manually install it on your computer.
Please note that the software available in the company portal in Mac and Windows are different. The options for Mac are much more limited. If you need to install software not available in the company portal, you can install software via the Apple store.
Computer updates
Each computer is setup with automatic updates. Major updates are only applied during a reboot. It is recommended that you often reboot your computer at the end of the work day to avoid forced reboots during a more inconvenient time. If you ever experience issues with your computer one of the first things you should check is whether or not your computer has installed all of the updates (including the optional driver updates).
Device Management
Revver uses Intune for our device management. The main benefit of Intune is that it allows us to take inventory of our computer hardware and evaluate the compliance of each device. If devices are reported to not be in compliance (for example, the hard drive is not encrypted) then Intune can help us to remotely encrypt the device. Intune can also help us to update and install software.
Endpoint Security
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is what we use here at Revver for our advanced threat detection. While we have this as a tool to help us mitigate potential security issues, the best security practice is for you to use safe browsing habits. Do not connect to unknown or unprotected Wi-Fi networks. Don't download software you are not familiar with. Be careful with the websites you visit. If you have any questions or think your computer might be compromised, please go to ithelp.revverdocs.com and submit a ticket.

After your account has synced fully, you should see a bookmark folder called "Revver" in the top left corner of the screen (note; you may need to open a new tab to see it). You can press Ctrl+Shift+B to toggle the bookmarks bar on or off; if it is off it will still show up when you open a new tab.
Logging into Office 356
Everyone at Revver has a license to the online version of Microsoft Office.
If you need the file on your computer sent to someone else, you will need to export the file.
If your role requires you to have the desktop version of Office, please follow this process.

Once the extension is installed you should be able to find it in the upper right corner of your screen.

Click on the login button and use your username and password to sign in. Note; you should have already logged into SplashTrack several times by now and have already set your username and password.
