Abstract
A file management system is provided that is associated with one or more parent applications. One or more virtual file listing display parameters are selected and/or defined that determine how related files will be identified, grouped, and/or otherwise displayed, in a virtual file listing display. One or more data storage locations where the user stores existing client and/or project files are designated and then scanned. As a result of the scan, the user's clients, and/or projects, are identified and a user client list, and/or user project list, is generated. In addition, one or more related files, and/or documents, are identified, virtually grouped, and/or virtually displayed, based on the virtual file listing display parameters and then displayed via one or more virtual file listing displays associated with the file management system.
