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.
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.
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.
