DMS Functionalities

The web-based management of documents is a central functionality of UKIS in its role as a knowledge provider.

UKIS supports the maintenance of an unlimited number of documents or files either in UKIS itself or in its associated file or archive systems. Authorised users may check files into the system, edit them or check them out for removal.

UKIS offers an extensive set of functionalities which allow users to check single documents or whole directories in and out of the system, either by drag&drop or through the CICO module.

Furthermore, it is possible to configure class specific attributes such as:

• document type, project ID, drawing number, client, project manager etc.

• automatic notification via e-mail of changes, removal, deletion etc. of documents

• definition of automatically linked documents and directories

• definition of user access rights to documents and directories

• automatic publication or deletion of documents or directories

• macro definitions for automatically created layouts (e.g. headers and footers).

Besides these DMS functionalities of UKIS PE, other DMS options are available, for example the options Workflow or Automatic Document Entry.
