Configurable Notification Messages In New Version Release

Included in Document Locator v5.2 are several enhancements to the workflow system. One enhancement already generating enormous fanfare in the user community is the overhauled notification system.

The Document Management Galaxy

Making sense with metadata

Most everyone knows what metadata is. And, we know that if we are organizing and categorizing electronic files, "metadata" can be our best-friend. Perhaps the simplest definition of metadata goes something like this: it is all the "data about the data". In other words, information that describes a file or its content. It can be basic things like 'when a file...

Accounting offers a good example, where some companies are ahead of the curve, and others are still passing paper. Here's a pretty generic scenario that applies...
