Color coded systems are practical for all types and sizes of businesses. They can be designed in different forms to solve any filing problem.

Alphabetical Filing
Alphabetical color coded name files are easy to maintain without requiring a cross reference file. Filing of common names is accomplished by coding the first two letters of the last name; for example, James C. BAYER could be coded "BA". In larger alphabetical files, the additional coding of the first name initial will further break up the large name groupings in the file. As in the previous example, locating the "BA" section, then going immediately to the "J" section within that area.

Straight Numeric Filing
Straight numeric filing is the filing of numbered documents in a numerical sequence order starting from the first number and proceeding to the highest numbered file (last or most recent). Color coding a straight numeric file is somewhat dependent upon the total number of files. The major advantages of straight numeric filing is its simplicity...little or no training and ease of finding files.

Terminal Digit Filing
Terminal digit filing is the filing of all files ending in the same last two digits in one section, forming 100 distinct file groups (00 through 99) in any given file number situation. The use of terminal digit filing is usually seen in large file areas: hospitals, insurance companies, government and banking. The major advantage of terminal digit filing is that the file grows equally in 100 places and reduces itself in 100 places with the retirement of older files, forming an equal growth pattern in the file.

Alpha-Numeric Filing
Alpha-numeric filing is simply the combination of letters and numbers in a pre-determined format. Certain types of filing situations may necessitate the use of alphabetical indicators within a primarily numeric file. For example, a university may keep student files by student numbers and further segregate files by type of student ("C" for on-campus housing, "O" for off-campus housing, "W" for correspondence course student). The alphabetical indicators help route the file to the proper department, where it is then filed in numerical sequence.
