Managing the location of fulltext documents in my Endnote 9 library

I do use the label field to keep track of where the article
is located 
(az file, electronic full text, link to the relevant data
base, library, 
etc.).  You could then add the label field to the library
display, and 
sort on that field to find all of the items located in a
particular place.

I don't know anything about an automatic entry, though.  I
just note 
that I have an electronic full-text file (whether .pdf or
.doc or .txt 
or .html), and I keep all of those alphabetically on my hard
drive, just 
as I keep my hard copy articles in an A-Z file in my
old-fashioned 
physical filing cabinet.

category 2, that is, I have the pdf and I have attached it
as an image (rather than link to pdf which means links are
severed if I decide to move my data files, which I will do
eventually). I have the image field shown in display fields
so I can see whether I have the pdf or not. But image field
won't display anything but the paperclip - thus can't use
that to denote that I have the fulltext via other means.

enter this?
