Attachments, indexes, document management and versioning
Documalis integrates the concept of attachment joined to the main document and moved between persons through the workflow and the users basket. This allows you to access the original application, third-party opinion, supporting documents during redaction steps and main document validation. These attachments will remain attached to the document at the document management step, even after validation and final document edition.
Indexes can be defined in the collaborative redaction process, in order to index the document more accurately in the EDM for further research.
These indexes can be used to determine a specific classification for documents validated in the EDM.
During redaction steps, the documents are directly available through through the treeview research, in the EDM directories of « Redaction » or « Validation » of outgoing mail.
Documents draft through the collaborative workflow are subject to an automatic versioning in the EDM after each modification by one of the allowed users. It is therefore possible to return at any moment on a previous version of the document or view the various drafts and related comments, which led to the final document redaction.
