The bar-code generation module is very user-friendly and a single cover sheet takes only seconds to create. The user only needs to select the correct document type from a pull-down list and enter between 2 and 5 pieces of information about the document. For example, if you have a Conference packet with 25 documents, creating cover sheets for all 25 should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
The Bar-code Cover Sheet generation screen 
in the Case Management System - accessible via an on-line user account only.
Simply follow the steps to create a cover sheet for each document to be submitted. See
Tutorial #1 - Creating Cover Sheets file size 2MB
for step-by-step instructions on generating bar-coded cover sheets. Remember that paper documents submitted to the DIA must have a cover sheet and must be free of any fasteners (no paperclips, staples, binder clips allowed). A packet of documents held together by a large rubber band or single binder clip is ok.
