The author of a document is the person, office or designated position responsible for its creation or issuance. In the case of a document in the form of a letter, the author or originator is usually indicated on the letterhead or by signature. In some cases, the software application producing the document may capture the authors identity and associate it with the document. For records management purposes, the author or originator may be designated as a person, official title, office symbol, or code.
