(1) Electronic Filing
(a) The electronic filing of a document is accomplished when a filer submits a document electronically to the court, the electronic filing system receives the document, and the court accepts the document for filing.
(b) When the court accepts the electronic document for filing, the electronic document constitutes the court’s record of the document.
(2) Converting a Conventional Filing into an Electronic Format. The court may digitize, microfilm, record, scan, or otherwise reproduce a document that is filed conventionally into an electronic record, document, or image. The court subsequently may destroy a document that is filed conventionally in accordance with the protocols established by the State Court Administrator under ORS 8.125(11) and ORS 7.124.
(3) Register of Actions. The following apply whether or not a document is electronically filed with the court:

(b) For the purpose of ORS 7.020(2), entry occurs on the date an event is created in the register of actions.
