Paperiton DMS - Quick Facts Reference

On this page, certain key features are listed as reference.

• Based on the modern Microsoft .NET technologies.
• Document check-out, check-in. Only one user at a time can modify a document.
• Easy-to-use, understandable access rights to folders and documents. With no rights to a document or folder, you will have no idea it even exists.
• Full support for Document Processes . Define document approval processes, review processes, and so on.
• Custom meta information as you need it. You can define sets of custom meta information for different needs, and then again apply those sets as needed. The supported meta information types are dates, lists of values, or texts. All the standard pieces of meta information like file types, names, comments, and so on, those are built in. The rest you can define as needed.
• Paperiton ADF Automated Document Feeder adds documents automatically to the Document Management System according to the rules you define.
• Paperiton ADF is the easy and powerful way to integrate your document scanners or other document sources like AS/400 and UNIX / Linux systems to the DMS.
• The logic behind the scenes can be extended or changed according to almost any special needs. This is achieved with the Folder Provider concept . Folder Providers are separate "servlets" which take care of their own folders and documents. The possibilities provided by this concept are virtually unlimited. Instead of modifying tested and well-working components for customer-specific needs, a new folder provider can be created that does whatever it is supposed to do. Adapting the system to any customer specific document management needs is therefore very efficient.
• Custom Folder Providers can be used to combine information from an external system in order to present different views to the contents of Paperiton DMS.
• Documents are stored inside a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or 2005 database. If you want to publish a set of documents on a web server, you can simply create a partial clone of the main database and use the clone for publishing – separately from the production environment.
• Powerful search functionality. Use any meta information, or search from the contents of documents, it is up to you. When you have created a good set of criteria that you want to use again, simply save it! When you need it next time, it is there waiting for you.
• Stored searches can be used also as templates for new searches. You can load the stored search back to the search tool.
• You can freely customize the search tool as you please - based on what you need, with a layout you prefer.
• Functionality to create and use search functionality based on visual navigation. This concept makes it possible to predefine searches based on hyperlinks and centrally stored searches, for instance when users do not necessarily know the textual information needed to search for things. Search results are just couple of clicks away.
