Abstract
Disclosed is a document management system where accessed documents can be stored in a document list along with information regarding the context in which the documents were accessed. The context can include information regarding the time and date the document was accessed and what applications were running when the document was accessed. Other context information can include whether the document was accessed during a calendar event or if the document was included in an attachment to an e-mail. When the current context of the computing device matches a previously recorded context, documents from the document list can be entered into a subset list and presented to the user.
