Optional Remote Access Features

Web interface extends document management outside the office.

The optional Web interface provides "beyond-the-firewall" access to the document management system. Users can search and retrieve documents from any location using an Internet connection. Unlike a hosted solution, repositories stay on-site so you maintain control over information. You decide who has what level of access, and to which information.

Remote access is possible via two optional Web access alternatives: the optional WebTools Module and the optional WebView Module.

WebTools offers full access.

Employees, vendors, customers, and people working outside the office can gain full access to information via the Web using WebTools. The WebTools browser interface looks similar to the desktop client experience, and provides most of the Document Locator features and capabilities as are provided in the desktop version. Users can modify and check in documents, participate in workflows, send and receive notifications, and more. Security controls who is allowed to have access.

WebView is for viewing and retrieval.

People outside the office who only need to view information or retrieve documents, but are not collaborating in their development, can use WebView. Users can search and retrieve documents on a self-service basis, as well as receive notifications.

Benefits of remote Web access.

  • Provides secure document access for employees working remotely, or external partners, customers or vendors.
  • Allows users outside the company to participate in workflow procedures.
  • Offers the familiar Microsoft Windows tree-view navigation to repository folders and documents.
  • Supported on Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6 and higher) and on Firefox (version 2 and higher).
  • Can provide most of the functionality of the client software. Certain features and functions are available via the client software only.
