Document Locator overview

What is Document Locator?

Document Locator is a centralized document management platform that couples seamless Microsoft Windows integration with browser access. The system is available on site, or as a hosted, cloud-based option. Full-featured document management is placed directly into Windows Explorer, keeping people in a familiar and comfortable work environment. Use scanning and imaging to convert paper documents to full-text searchable digital files for paperless management, alongside quick import options for electronic files, email and PDF document archiving. Find documents with instant, advanced and saved searches, leveraging full-text indexing, category profiling and metadata descriptions.

Document Locator also includes automatic version or revision controls to track changes, making it possible to retrieve prior instances, edit or promote sub-versions and view complete audit trails. Document check in and check out prevents information loss and allows multiple users of various access levels to work collaboratively. Automate regular document actions with the integrated task manager, record approvals with eSignature capture, organize document delivery and send a variety of notification reminders for meeting deadlines.
