Exploring document management with MIE
Exploring document management with MIE
December 3, 2008:MIE Solutions has released MIE Docs 1.51, a cost-effective document management solution that is tightly integrated into Windows Explorer.
MIE Docs centralizes the storage of files into an easy to use virtual drive. It can be downloaded and used for free as a single user license.
Some of the new features include :
* place watches on files and get notified by email when activity has occurred on the file;
* full integration into MIE Trak production control software package;
* bookmarking capability has been improved;
* work on files while disconnected from the network; and
* Microsoft Dot NET Linq is not required during the server installation.
Documents are stored in a common repository which enables you to easily hide sensitive information based on groups and individual file access. Administrator, Publisher and Viewer rights are available from projects to folders to individual documents.
Every document must be checked out and checked in which enables safe multi-user editing. Documents are saved in history so there is a full accounting of who and when a file was changed.
MIE Docs lets you quickly get started by allowing you to drag-n-drop files from your current desktop file system into the MIE Docs file system. Once the files are in MIE Docs they can easily be retrieved, checked out and modified.
It runs on the standard SQL server database which is fast and flexible. The server installation will create and update the database without any scripts or database management skills.
