    Version 4.2.4

• Modified Folder Structure
  When you create a new Db, doQuments creates a new folder for that db with the same name as the db, inside the doQuments Databases folder. This new folder usually contains the Storage folder, the Messaging folder and the Temp Folder.
  
  With the doQuments 4.2, the new db folder will contain two folders i.e. the Storage folder and the new System folder. The System folder from now on will contain all the folders that are required to run doQuments. This will ease the process of sharing and applying permissions. (Click here for details)
  
  

    Version 4.2

• Record Templates (Enterprise Edition only)
  With the new record templates feature, when creating a new record, doQuments will automatically fill up the data fields that were specified in the record template. This feature benefits users who have same indexing information repeating on many records. It saves on time and data entry costs.
  
  For example: If you have 40 invoices from the same company and you have a data field for 'Company Name', you will not need to enter the name of the company 40 times. You just have to create a record template with this information. Now every time you create a new record using this record template, the company name information will already be filled up.
• Enhanced Backup and Restore
  New improved Backup makes it easy to span your large database backup across multiple storage media. You can now split your doQuments Archive file (.DQA) into fixed sized chunks to fit on the required medium (e.g. CD, DVD, USB Drives, etc.). It creates a series of folders with the specified sized files on your hard drive which can be burned onto CDs or DVDs.
• Template Manager
  You can use Template Manager under the 'File' menu to manage record templates as well as document templates.
  
• Reorder Saved Queries
  You can use the Reorder queries feature to choose the order in which your saved queries should appear in the menu. The new 'Reorder' option is located in the Query Wizard.

    Version 4.1

• Dynamic Document Templates
  Dynamic Document Templates enable you to automatically insert indexing data field values from the currently displayed record into the newly created document.

• doQuments Clipboard
  Use the new doQuments clipboard to copy documents or indexing data from one record and paste them into another record. This can speed up data entry in cases where multiple documents have identical indexing values. You can also move documents by cutting them from one record and pasting them into another record. All clipboard options are available from the new Edit menu.
• Support for MS SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise Edition only)
  doQuments now also supports MS SQL Server 2005 based doQuments DBs.
• The Spiral binder image is gone!
  The spiral binder image has been removed from the main window, freeing up valuable space.

• doQuments DB List Security (Enterprise Edition only)
  The doQuments DB list now displays only those doQuments DB for which the currently logged in user has the required permissions. It also displays a small description for each DB.
• Password protect MS Access based doQuments DBs (Enterprise Edition only)
  You can now secure your MS Access based doQuments DBs by setting a password for the doQuments DB. This ensures that unauthorized users cannot open MS Access based doQuments DBs directly (without using doQuments).
• Full text search supported for MS Excel files (Enterprise Edition only)
  Support for full text search of MS Excel (.XLS) files is now added.
• Multi-select in Document List Panel

• View-only access (Enterprise Edition only)
  View-only licenses are now available for doQuments Enterprise Edition. View-only licenses are priced much lower than the normal full access licenses. Users with view-only licenses cannot make any changes to doQuments DBs. They can only query and view records/documents in a doQuments DB. Customers can purchase a mix of view-only and full access licenses. However at least one full-access license must be purchased. Customers who already own doQuments Enterprise Edition licenses can purchase view-only licenses because the licenses they currently own are full access licenses.
  
  Any existing or newly created user can be marked as view-only using doQuments User Manager. A user marked as view-only will not be allowed to make changes to a doQuments DB when logged in. Also users not marked as view-only can temporarily login as view-only by checking the Login with view-only access box on the login dialog.

    Version 3.5

• Support for MySQL based doQuments DBs (Enterprise Edition only)
  In addition to MS Access and MS SQL Server based doQuments DBs, you can now even create MySQL based doQuments DBs. More information about MySQL is available at http://www.mysql.org

  This feature allows you to search documents in a doQuments DB based on their content. Currently MS Word (.DOC), PDF, EMail (.EML, .MSG) , Web Page (.HTM, .HTML) and .TXT files are supported. Support for more file formats will be added soon. Please note that for .DOC files, an installation of MS Word must be present on the machine. This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
• Scan and add pages at any position in an existing multi-page document

No client-side install is required at all! doQuments Web Client makes each record and document URL-addressable which you can share with your trusted users.
• doQuments Security Manager (Enterprise Edition only)
  doQuments Security Manager replaces the doQuments Authentication Server in doQuments from version 3.2 onwards. The key advantage of this change is that, unlike doQuments Authentication Server, you don't need to keep the doQuments Security Manager running in order to use the doQuments.
• Enhanced Import Data feature
  The Import Data feature of doQuments has been enhanced recently. It used to only allow importing of indexing data but now also allows importing of documents along with the indexing data. You can use the Import Data feature to quickly import multiple documents along with their indexing into a doQuments DB.
• Importing/Exporting of Document Package
  Export documents as well as the indexing data, to a folder or as a zip file or as a Document Package (highly compressed file). You can even choose to encrypt the Document Package. Import the documents and the indexing data from the Document Package or the Zip file.

• Document Check In/Check Out (Enterprise Edition only)
  The Check In/Check Out feature lets you block others users on the network from trying to edit a document that you are currently editing. When you open a document for editing it is "Checked Out". Other users on the network will still be able to view this document but they will not be able to edit it. Another user can only open the document for editing after you have checked it in again.
  This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
• Document Versioning (Enterprise Edition only)
  This feature allows you to create and retain multiple versions of the same document. Every time you check out, modify and then check in a document, doQuments will retain a copy of the older version and add the new modified document as a new version. You can have an unlimited number of versions for each document or set an upper limit for the number of versions. You can also set a different upper limit for each document.
  This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
• Document Encryption (Enterprise Edition only)
  This feature allows you to store documents in an encrypted form. This eliminates the possibility of someone accessing the documents directly using Windows Explorer (bypassing doQuments). Encrypted documents can only be accessed using doQuments. Various popular and powerful encryption methods such as AES, TripleDES and Blowfish are supported with key lengths ranging from 128 bits to 256 bits.
  This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
• Event Logging/Auditing (Enterprise Edition only)
  This feature allows you to log details about user actions. For example you can configure this feature so that whenever a document is deleted, details about the action are logged. Details logged include the name of the user performing the action along with the date and time of the action. Almost any action a user can perform in doQuments can be logged. You can choose the actions you wish to log.
  This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
• Enhanced Batch Scanning
  The batch scanning tool in doQuments has been significantly enhanced with the addition of blank page detection and other options.
• Document Replace
  You can now replace an existing document in doQuments with another document (instead of having to first delete the existing document and then adding a new document). This feature is useful for users who perform XCopy backups as with this feature the name and path of the file can remain the same after the replace operation.
• Variable Height Input Boxes for Large Text Data Fields
  You can now set the height of the Input Box for each Large Text data field, using the new option available on the first page of the Data Fields Wizard. You can now set the Input Box to display anywhere between 3 and 20 lines of text.
• Indexing Assistant
  The Indexing Assistant is a tool to assist you in indexing documents which are not displayed by the doQuments internal viewer (for e.g. MS Word .doc files). The Indexing Assistant is a floating window which enables you to view the underlying document while entering indexing data. This eliminates the need (while indexing) to switch back and forth between doQuments and the application in which the document in opened.
• Specify Scan Area
  Instead of doing a preview scan and then selecting an area on the preview image for the final scan, you can now directly specify the size of the page being scanned. You can choose from a list of common page sizes such as A4, A3 etc...
• Minor Enhancements
  You will find hundreds of other small improvements everywhere in doQuments 3.0.
• Restore from Archive menu option removed
  Due to potential problems with new doQuments features, the Restore from Archive menu option has been removed from the Document menu of the doQuments Main Window and from right-click menu of the Storage Folder Manager window.

    Version 2.0

• Support for MS SQL Server based doQuments DBs (Enterprise Edition only)
  Create MS SQL Server based doQuments DBs. You can still choose to create MS Access based doQuments DBs if required. If the volume of data grows or for any other reason you can convert a MS Access based doQuments DB to a MS SQL Server based doQuments DB at any time.
• doQuments DB List
  The doQuments DB List is a central list of all the doQuments DBs that you work with. Any doQuments DBs you create can be added to the doQuments DB List. Instead of using the Windows File Open Dialog to locate and open a doQuments DB, you can simply choose the doQuments DB you want to open from the doQuments DB List.
• Pages
  If your doQuments DB contains a large number of fields it can be cumbersome to scroll the data panel to view/edit all your data. Pages help you solve this problem, by letting you create multiple pages and assigning groups of fields to each page. To view a particular set of fields you simply choose a page from the new Active Page drop down list. Moreover a field can be assigned to more than one page.
• Export doQuments DB
  Data can now be exported from one doQuments DB to another similarly structured doQuments DB
• Parameterized Queries
  Queries can now request values for their conditions when you execute them. For example instead of creating a query like Name = "John", you can now create a query which will prompt you for the Name whenever you execute it.
• Create multi-page TIFF files
  doQuments now allows creation of multi-page TIFF files. Multi-page TIFF files can be created during scanning or even at later time. The new TIFF File Editor allows you combine images file of any supported formats into a single multi-page TIFF file.
• Imaging Enhancements
  A whole new set of tools for image manipulation have been added. You can now also open an existing image, modify it and then save it back to the record.
• Find and Add Documents (Batch addition of documents)
  You can now search for and add multiple documents to a doQuments DB in a single step. Options are available to add all found documents to single record or create a new record for each document. You can also choose to add the found documents to a temporary folder so that they can be classified by addition to records at a later time.
• Batch Scanning (Automatic Document Feeders)
  Scan a stack of documents at once with the batch scanning features. Scanners with Automatic Document Feeders are now fully supported. Options are available to add all scanned documents to single record or create a new record for each document. You can choose to add the scanned documents to a temporary folder so that they can be classified by addition to records at a later time.
• Storage Folders
  With the new Storage Folders feature older documents can now be moved to removable storage devices (e.g. CD-R, Zip Disks etc..). doQuments can even prompt for the removable media (on which the document is located) when you select the document for viewing.
• Enhanced Backup & Restore
  The backup & restore features have been significantly enhanced with support for selective backup & restore.
• Data Import
  You can now import data from text files (e.g. CSV) into doQuments.

  PDF files can now be previewed in the preview panel. This option requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to be installed and configured on your machine.
• Automatic detection of invalid associated folder
  doQuments can now automatically detect if the folder specified as associated with the doQuments DB is valid. This can help in situations when you move a doQuments DB to another machine which already has a folder with the same name as the associated folder for that doQuments DB
