Version control your important documents with our electronic document management software system.

What's New!

Here is a list of new features introduced in various versions of Globodox.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.6.0.7    New!


Besides better performance, you can now look forward to these new features...
  • Merging one Tag with another:
    Now you can merge one tag with another. This will delete the tag that is merged, remove that tag from all documents bearing it; and automatically add the other tag to these documents. When you click the Tags node in the Navigation pane, you will see these documents added to the other tag. This new feature helps you in case you misspelled a tag while adding it to a document. To replace the incorrect tag with the correct one, you need not edit the tag individually in each document. You can simply create a new tag and merge the incorrect tag into the correct one. This feature also helps in rectifying situations where multiple users accidentally create similar tags. Merging of tags is a privilege that can be assigned to different roles as per the requirement.
  • Sorting of Destination Profile list:
    Until now, if you wanted to view the Destination Profiles you have saved in Globodox, the Destination Profile drop-down would not display the list in an alphabetical order. But now, Globodox displays the profile list in the drop-down in an alphabetical order.
  • Publish multiple draft documents together:
    Before this version, you could only select one draft document at a time and publish it. However from this version, you can select multiple draft documents (or even all of them) and choose to publish them all together.
  • Thunderbird Setup 9.x drag & drop mail Support:
    Now you can drag and drop your emails from Thunderbird version 9.x onwards, into Globodox. These email messages will be displayed in the Preview pane in Globodox.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.5.0.4   

  • Language Support
    From version 7.5, the Globodox setup will be separately available with user interfaces in English, Spanish, French and Slovak. Note that though the user interface (menus, messages etc.) is currently available in the above mentioned languages in addition to English, you can store documents and data in any language in Globodox.
  • Workflow Cloning
    Organizations often have certain business processes that are similar to each other. Normally you would need to create separate workflows for each process from scratch. However, from version 7.5, you can create a single workflow for just one of the processes. Then for each process you can create a copy (clone) of that workflow and then make the necessary changes to the copy. This results in considerable time savings for the persons who create workflows.
  • Display of EML file in Preview Pane
    Prior to version 7.5, viewing an email message stored in EML format required you to have MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine. But now Globodox natively supports viewing EML files in the Preview Pane. So email messages including those downloaded by the Email Capture module can be viewed without needing MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.3.1.7

  • To Do Activity
    Globodox Workflow now has a new activity called the To Do activity. This is a simple activity to pass a document related task (for e.g. Print this document and send by FedEx) to a user (or even multiple users).
  • Import and store Email Attachments as separate documents in Globodox
    Email Capture can now handle in a better way, email messages which have attachments. You can configure Globodox Email Capture such that, whenever an email message with attachments is detected, the attachments will be stored as separate documents. They will automatically be linked to their corresponding email message. So for example if an email message with a single attachment is captured, Globodox will create two documents, the email message itself and the attached file. Both the documents will be linked to each other.
  • Support for password protected files
    Inbuilt viewer for MS Word and MS Excel now supports viewing password protected .docx and .xlsx files.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.2.0.10

  • Review Activity in Workflow
    A new activity called Review has been added to Globodox Workflow. Using this activity in a workflow, you can route a document for review, to one or more users. These users can then review the document and provide comments (if any). Each user's comment can optionally be added to the document as a separate note. Usage scenario for this activity includes a situation where you want to send a document after it has been approved, to one or more users so that they can review the same (for e.g. review changes to a policy document).
  • New events added to Event Log
    15 new events have been added to the Event Log. These are:
  1. Document Approval Request: This event is logged when a document is routed for approval.
  2. Document Rejected: This event is logged when the document you sent for approval is rejected.
  3. Document Approved: This event is logged when the document you sent for approval is approved.
  4. Document Approval Response: This event is logged when the user to whom you sent an approval request has responded to your request.
  5. Document Review Request: This event is logged when a document is routed for review.
  6. Document Reviewed: This event is logged when the user to whom you sent a review request has reviewed the document.
  7. Document Review Response: This event is logged when the user to whom you sent a review request has responded to your request.
  8. Document Signing Request: This event is logged when a document is routed for it ti be signed.
  9. Apply Stamp: This event is logged when a stamp is applied to a document.
  10. Apply Signature: This event is logged when a signature is applied to a document.
  11. Publish Document: This event is logged when a draft document is published.
  12. Tag Document: This event is logged when a tag is applied to a document.
  13. Untag Document: This event is logged when a tag is removed from a document.
  14. Remove Document from a Folder: This event is logged when a document is removed from a particular folder.
  15. Route Document: This event is logged when a document is routed using a workflow.
Once the auditing of these events has been enabled in the Configure Audit Events window (under DB Settings), Globodox will maintain an audit trail of these events by recording them in the Event Log.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.1.1.5

  • Cloning a folder structure
    You can now choose to include the security settings while cloning a folder structure.
  • Workflow Approval Comments
    Comments entered during the Workflow Approval Activity are now saved as Notes for the document/stack.
  • Document Title
    Now when you give a scanned document a title, Globodox will automatically treat that as the file name. Earlier, Globodox would generate a file name by itself. But now, Globodox will take the document title given by you as the file name, thereby making it easier to track documents.

  Globodox Features  Version 7.0

  • Active Directory Integration (Available as part of Globodox Suite and as an optional module for Globodox Standard)
    This helps you quickly import Windows users as Globodox users. So you do not need to separate create user names and passwords in Globodox. What's more, when these users login into Windows and start Globodox, Globodox will no more prompt them for their username and password; Globodox will simply use their Windows credentials to log them in. Active Directory Integration makes managing multiple users much simpler. Learn more
  • Draft Documents (Available as part of Globodox Suite and as an optional module for Globodox Standard)
    Draft documents in Globodox are temporary, intermediate documents which may be created while a team of users are working on the next major version of a document. Draft documents can have different access permissions as compared to published documents. Thus draft documents enable a team of users to securely collaborate on the next version of a document and also enable the modified document to be reviewed by another team of users (e.g. via a workflow) before it is made available to a larger set of users (e.g. an entire department or company). Learn more
  • Published Documents
    Because of the introduction of the Draft Documents feature, the help file as well as the Globodox User Interface refers to regular documents (or non-draft documents) as Published Documents.
  • Disable Drafts Documents Feature
    If you do not wish to use the Draft Documents feature, you can hide Draft Document related tabs, buttons and menu options by unchecking the Draft Documents option in the System Options section of the Options dialog. This could be helpful if you think your users might get confused by the draft documents related user interface.
  • Built-in Word and Excel Viewer
    The new built-in Word and Excel Viewer allows you to view .doc, .docx, .xls and .xlsx files even if you do not have MS Office installed on your computer. What's more, you can even annotate and stamp MS Word and MS Excel files the same way as you could with files such as TIFF and PDF files (annotations cannot be burned on MS Word or MS Excel files).
    So how does this help:
    Let us say you use Open Office Writer from Sun Microsystems, and your colleague uses MS Word. You have just received a Word document in Globodox that has been created by them. If you didn't have version 7 of Globodox, you would click the button at the top right of the preview pane ("Open this document for viewing in its associated application"). This would open the document in MS Word if you had it installed on your machine. But if you did not have MS Word installed or the MS Word Viewer installed, it would be difficult to view the document. But now that you have version 7, even if you do not have MS Word installed on your machine, you can still view the document with the built-in MS Word viewer.
  • Choose between built-in and third-party viewer for MS Word, MS Excel and PDF Files
    Using the options dialog, you can now specifically configure what viewer you wish to use for MS Word, MS Excel AND PDF File.
  • Lock Viewer settings for all users
    Using the options dialog, you can now lock the file type viewer settings so that only the superadmin can change them.
  • Background Text Extraction
    In the earlier versions of Globodox, whenever a document was added to Globodox, the OCR/Text Extraction for the document was performed at the time of adding the document. But now this process will be performed in the background. This means adding multiple files (even hundreds of them at a time) to Globodox will be much faster than before, as you will not need to wait to add the next file until the OCR/Text Extraction has been completed for the current file.
    The text extraction only happens on the machine on which Globodox is installed in server mode (a single user installation of Globodox is always installed in server mode).Since text extraction now happens in the background, the process continues even when you close Globodox.
    The background text extraction service can be viewed by exploring Control Panel>Administrative Tools >Services>ITAZ Globodox Indexing Services under the Name column. A user can stop or restart this service by right clicking and selecting the Stop or Restart options.
  • Built-In Text Extractors
    Globodox now features built-in text extractors for popular file formats such as MS Word (.doc, .docx), MS Excel (.xls, .xlsx) and PDF files. This means you no more need to have iFilters installed on your machines for these file formats, as Globodox can handle them on it's own.
  • New entity Draft Documents added to Role Privileges
    You can control access to draft documents by assigning different privileges to different Roles over the new Draft Entity.
  • Hierarchical Security Groups
    Hierarchical Security Groups allow the creation of a group tree. This allows organizations to closely mimic their organization structure. Using this feature you can give users access to not only documents owned by users of their groups but also documents owned by users of all their group's sub-groups.
  • Initiate Workflow Privilege added to Role and Share Privilege list
    This feature allows you to control which roles can be given document routing privileges.
  • New Workflow Designer and Workflow Monitor related privileges
    New workflow designer related privileges allow you to control what users are allowed to view, add, modify and delete workflow designs in the workflow designer. Similarly new Workflow Monitor related privileges allow you to control who can view, pause, restart or cancel running workflows. Below is a list of the privileges (added to the Other Privileges section)...
  • Manage Owned Workflows
  • Manage All Workflows
  • Create Workflows
  • Modify Owned Workflows
  • Modify All Workflows
  • Delete Owned Workflows
  • Delete All Workflows
  • Monitor All Workflows
  • New privilege added to control who can select/unselect which events to audit in the Event Log
    A new privilege has been added (to the Other Privileges section) to control who can select/unselect which events to audit in the Event Log.
  • New Workflow Activities added
    Globodox workflow is even more powerful now with the addition of the following activities...
  • Auto Publish
  • Signature
  • Auto Stamp
  • Apply Security Label
  • Share
  • Identifying Unread Messages
    Inbox (Messages) and Inbox (Tasks) now show unread entries in bold.
  • Remember Layout
    Now Globodox will remember the width of the various panes that you set within the main window and within the document windows too. It will also remember the document window size you had set last time. So the next time you open the application or the resized document, it will open Globodox with the pane and window sizes you had the last time when you closed the document or the main Globodox window..
  • Faster Performance
    The Globodox installation is now optimized for each machine after installation. The optimization process is started right after installation finishes and continues in the background. You can continue using Globodox while the optimization is in progress.

  Globodox Features  Version 6.1

  • Email Capture
    The Email Capture feature in Globodox, downloads email messages from any POP3 mail server and adds them to Globodox. Globodox will automatically extract fields (To, From, Subject etc.) from each email and enter them as indexing information for that email in Globodox. This makes all email messages immediately searchable. For More info, see Manage Emails in Globodox
  • Folder Monitor
    The Folder Monitor watches one or more specified folders on your disk and adds any files added to those folders to Globodox. You can use this feature to directly add files to Globodox even when Globodox is not running. All you need to do is, add the files to the monitored folder and Folder Monitor will automatically add these files to Globodox. This is also handy when working with Network Scanners which put the scanned documents in a folder. For more info, see Folder Monitor
  • Reports
    Globodox now comes with built-in usage reports, letting you see documents added or modified by users on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The reports can be exported as a PDF, HTML, MHT or XLS files. For more info, see Reports

  • Drag & drop documents from Globodox to Windows Explorer
    You can now drag and drop documents from Globodox to Windows Explorer by pressing the CTRL button on the keyboard and dragging the documents to a Windows folder. For more info, Drag and drop documents from Globodox to a folder
  • Destination Profiles Manager
    You can now create, modify or delete destination profiles using the Destination Profiles Manager.

  Globodox Features  Version 5.6

  • FTP based File Store
    The folder/location in which Globodox stores any files you add to it is called the File Store. In earlier Globodox versions the file store could be a local folder on your disk or shared folder on your network. With this version we are introducing FTP based File Stores. You can configure Globodox so that any files you add are stored on a pre-designated FTP server (for e.g. a IIS FTP server). In a multi-user setup a FTP based file store would be more secure than a network share based File Store.
  • Speed and Stability
    We have cut down the initial load time by 50% and fixed a few minor issues. Globodox is now faster and more stable than before.

  Globodox Features  Version 5.5

  • Zone Map
    The Zone Maps feature in Globodox lets you recognize scanned text and bar codes in specific pre-defined areas of a scanned document and then automatically store the recognized values in their corresponding fields. This means that you can automate your indexing process for identically formatted documents (for e.g. bills from the same telephone company) and eliminate manual data entry.
  • Navigate documents in a Stack in continuous mode
    you will be able to navigate between the pages as well as documents by using the Navigation buttons on the Preview pane. For a single page document when you click the Next button, the next document in the list will be displayed. For multi-page document, when you click the next button the next page will be displayed. On the reaching the last page of multi-page document, if you click the Next button, the next document will be displayed.
    This option is available from the User Options node of the Options window.
  • Print Advanced search conditions along with the search results
    When you print search results that are displayed in the List View pane, you can now choose to print the conditions used in that search at the top of the search results. This feature helps in quickly identifying the conditions used to generate the search results.
  • Print All documents of a stack
    You can now print all the documents related to a stack in one go.

  Globodox Features  Version 5.3

  • OCR document containing text in a different language
    You can now OCR a document that contains text in language other than English. For e.g. if you have a document that contains text in the Danish language then you can configure the OCR engine to recognize the Danish language text.
  • Customize Quick Search
    You can now select the fields that you want to search in, using the Quick Search. In the earlier versions of Globodox, the Quick Search would only search in the Document Title, File Name and the Document Text. Now, you can select any field (displayed in the List View) that you want to search in, by using the Customize Quick Search dialog.
    The Customize Quick Search box can be accessed by clicking the Quick Search drop-down and selecting the Choose columns for Quick Search option.
  • Reactivate a deactivated user
    You can now reactivate a deactivated Globodox user. So if you have accidentally deactivated a user you can now activate it.
  • Inactivity time out option
    You can now auto-logout an inactive user from Globodox by using the Inactivity time out option. This option is available in System Options pane of the Options dialog.
  • New Activities in Workflow
    New activities are added in Workflow, using which you can create complex business processes.
  • Easy definitions of conditions in workflow
    Specifying conditions for activities is now made easy.

  • Clone Folders
    You can now create the same folder structure that you frequently use in Globodox by using the Clone feature.  For e.g. Let say to you create a same set folders for each customer. It will be tedious to create these folders if you have a hundred's of customers. By using the Clone feature you will have to create the folder structure just once and then clone/copy this structure whenever you want.
  • Command Line Options
    You can now run Globodox in maintenance mode by using the Command Line options.

  doQuments Features  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)

  doQuments Features  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.

  doQuments Features  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 Features  Version 4.0

  • doQuments Standard Edition discontinued
    doQuments Standard Edition has been discontinued. Click here for more information.
  • 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 Description
    You can now store a small (255 characters) description along with each doQuments DB. This description is displayed in the doQuments DB List as well as on the DB selection page of doQuments Web Client.
  • 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
    Multiple documents can now be selected in the document list panel on the doQuments Main Window. This will allow you to copy/cut/delete/email/drag & drop multiple documents at the same time.

  doQuments Features  Version 3.5.11

  • 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.

  doQuments Features  Version 3.5

    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
    You can now scan and add more pages at any position in an existing multi-page document. This means that a new page can be scanned and appended at the end of the document or inserted in the beginning of the document or at any position in between.

  • 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.

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).

  • 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.

  doQuments Features  Version 2.0

  • Security (Enterprise Edition only)
    Control access to your data and documents on a user by user basis. Decide who can view a document and who can edit it. The comprehensive security framework also lets you control a user's access to almost all doQuments features.
  • 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.

    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.

  • Support for preview of PDF files
    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
