The DMS, Document Management System (DMS) works like a Google search for all of the documentation that is generated/collected in relation to the organisation's projects/operations. To simplify the management of this, we have three main components to the categorisation of a document.

  • Objects.

  • Document Structures.

  • Document Types

Objects

Objects are those things that have documentation associated/attached to them. To effectively manage the ‘filing’ of those documents, we create a Document Structure.

An Object is associated with an Object Type. Object types are predefined, and you can choose from;

  • Contacts - Councils.

  • Contacts - Staff.

  • Contacts - Suppliers.

  • Display Centre.

  • Display Project/Home.

  • Document Library.

  • Estate.

  • Estate Stage.

  • House Series.
