Product Description

YellowFolder provides a cloud-based, digital file cabinet where your school system can safely store, retrieve and manage all school records in one place. Automatic matriculation, retention, and compliance.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

YellowFolder is the only K-12 specific electronic record management system that offers intelligent, automated filing for your Student, Special Education, Administration, and Employee records. Not only that, YellowFolder can guarantee automatic compliance with laws and regulations pertaining to record retention, destruction, privacy and security. That means things like FERPA and HIPAA will be satisfied without you having to stress over it and Federal Education Funds won’t be put at risk due to non-compliance.

We are currently partnered with over 300 K-12 school districts across the country and can say with confidence that we help save Districts lots of time, money, space, and hassle. Our competitors are the glorified scanning companies and electronic record management providers that aren't focused only on K-12 like YellowFolder is.

What do you like best about YellowFolder?

Replaces old age document based sharing. Saves time transferring academic records. Had to connect to customer service a couple of times and they were really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YellowFolder?

They should a add an feature to access records remotely outside campus and maybe uploading speed can be increased even if they want to charge a bit higher. It’s a bit slow compared to Dropbox and Box while uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

To resolve the clutter of paper files and maintaining them over time. School records are easily saved and retrieved. But still some scope for features to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YellowFolder?

The overall experience is very user-friendly, especially since the new droplet was introduced. The end user has the ability to select their preference of uploading capability from scanning directly, uploading, virtual printing, or the droplet feature. The box level process of scanning our archive permanent records included a very professional process from the packing and pick up service to the quickly sending records as we are waiting for the box levels to finishing scanning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YellowFolder?

We are still in the learning process so we have some learning curves to overcome - however YellowFolder has been great responding to our questions in timely professional manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have already regained a complete storage room. We are reducing our paper and supply purchasing. Are students mobility is very high, the electronic cum folders have also prevented us losing moving folders from one campus to the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest drawback is the program isn't always smart enough to recognize where to put documents, but there is an easy way to place it in the correct folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YellowFolder?

I like having the student records digitized and ability to control access to the folders. It also makes it easier to send records to other districts. The support team is amazing. The data clerks can reach out with a problem and it always fixed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YellowFolder?

The original set up of the folder structure. There was some confusion, but it was worked through. I don't even like to say I disliked it, it was just getting the understanding which takes time and usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YellowFolder:

You will need to change the mindset of the data clerks. Make sure they are involved in the beginning. This will make folder setup easier and have them scanning sooner. It was hard for some to give up the paper copies, but once they started scanning and seeing the benefits, they prefered the digital records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Space and compliance issues. Digitizing student records has helped with the not having to house the records and each campus. Compliance in record maintenance and the file cabinets themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, there are records that don't link to the correct person. The user has to click on the record and select the person matching the record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YellowFolder:

Setting up the correct uploads to YellowFolder is key to success. Each module requires it's own upload of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

We just began using YellowFolder during the summer. We hope to upload stored paper records and shred them. This will free up a lot of storage space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YellowFolder?

Yellow Folder holds a lot of information and can be accessed with advanced searches. It has saved space in our offices by eliminating all the space that file cabinets takes. It also eliminates excessive paper and is available to all the staff to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YellowFolder?

So much information was taken to scan into Yellow Folder from our district that it takes awhile to scan through all the data to locate the pages needed. Also the time involved with logging in and logging out like many of electronic systems. Of course when the system has to be re-booted or has shut down takes away time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YellowFolder:

Yes, it simplifies mass folders and files and makes them accessible to multiple people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Elimination of so many paper copies and files in the office.

All data is in one place.

Accessible to many staff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about YellowFolder?

I love that I have access to all student files no matter where I am. It saves my back from lugging around giant comprehensive folders! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YellowFolder?

I wish the "pre-yellow folder" section could be organized. Students who are in high school may have 800 page packets to comb through to find info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering YellowFolder:

Get familiar with the layout so you can navigate it quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is YellowFolder solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have access to all files at my fingertips. I have been in meetings where administrators have asked for student's previous testing scores and within minutes I can have them pulled up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
