Finding documents quickly is a serious business problem as the volume of stored information increases. Document Locator is an organized and efficient alternative to shared-file servers, where information is insecure and difficult to find. Using Document Locator, documents can be found based on full-text searches of content and/or on any selection of complex criteria involving everything from Profile Property information to document version number. Searches are fast and results are returned instantly.

Document Locators Check-In/Check-Out feature increases confidence that changes will not be lost.  Users can collaborate on documents, making their own individual changes to a document with full knowledge that their changes will not be overwritten or deleted. Users can also view the status of documents, and know if a document is currently checked-in and available for editing or checked-out and in use by someone else.

With Document Locator's integrated version control, time is never wasted determining which copy of a document has the latest revisions. Document Locator automatically versions documents and displays the version number so it can be identified at a glance. Administrators can determine whether users have access only to the latest version, or to previous versions of a document.

Document Locator supports document and folder "Profiles," which are collections of user-defined document metadata called "Properties." Customizable Profile and Property features add a powerful level of descriptive information to documents, making them easier to categorize, store, locate, and retrieve. You can easily customize Properties and Profiles to match specific needs in your organization.

Document Locator provides robust and flexible document security, giving you confidence that all information in the repository is secure and accessible only to those who are authorized. You maintain your own data with complete flexibility to manage authentication credentials and to grant privileges on a user or group basis. Document Locator's security and auditing capabilities are based on the familiar Microsoft NT security model.

Document Locator's integrated records management minimizes the risk associated with compliance, legal actions, discovery, and regulation by allowing you to accurately capture, identify, store, and dispose of business records properly. With Document Locator, you can enforce records management and document retention policies according to the specific needs of your company. Using the built-in Record Policy Manager, Records Managers can custom-tailor document actions and dispositions to meet individual compliance and regulatory requirements.
