Document Management has two major components:
Document Storage module – used for configuration and administration. Documents are stored in IDI’s Document Storage system.
Document Paper Clip icons - used to attach and view documents within IDI web modules. For example, a document may be attached to and viewable from a customer account in Customer Care or equipment in the Inventory web module.
The Document Storage module is where configuration and maintenance activities for Document Management occur. This module is primarily intended for use by IDI platform administrators since regular users will attach and view documents directly from the items to which they are associated in the IDI platform and not through this module.
Document Storage allows administrators to:
Manage Categories
Search stored documents
Upload / Edit / Delete documents - This is provided for maintenance and troubleshooting activities. Attaching or removing a document from an IDI platform item (e.g. customer account) must be done through the appropriate IDI web module.
Setup
A user’s ability to attach, view and manage documents is governed by the Document Storage roles in the Security module as described in Setup.
