Dashboard Preview in video


The Dashboard is the central point of A2DMS-Document Management.
All the the documentation can be accessed from this screen but it also shows an overview of all the actions the user has to perform.

Register Philosophy Preview in video


Documents are filed in Registers (Correspondence Register, Technical Document Register, Minutes of Meeting Register, Technical Queries Register etc.)
The Registers display a datasheet view rather than forms.
This allows a global vision of a specific part of the documentation and makes comparisons easier. All operations on registers can be performed from the same page (Browse, filter, search, view document, print reports, comments etc.).

Review Distribution


Internal transmissions are performed via A2DMS. If preferred, traditional paper Transmittal Notes can be printed.

A2DMS manages workflows of review leaded by a responsible.
Reviewers can be nominated by the responsible or via pre-defined matrix.
A2DMS is also integrated with Adobe Acrobat ® annotation features.

A2DMS manages different types of incoming and outgoing transmittals:

* Traditional paper Transmittal Notes
* Documents attached in Emails
* Documents and electronic transmittal placed on a shared resource (for instance a ftp resource).
* A2DMS accepts many types of data exchange (in and out) formats  (XML, CSV, XLS, MDB …)
