This section is used for the parameterization regarding documents and their electronic files:

Parameter	Checked	Unchecked
Document status search field (default)	The defined statuses are displayed, by default, in the "Document status" filter on the screens in which it is found.	By default, the statuses that are not checked are not displayed in the view. However, during the view, all statuses can be selected and the system will consider this selection to display the result. When no item is selected, the system displays the "Released" option checked by default.
Require electronic file to be viewed when releasing tasks	In order to successfully execute the checked tasks, it will be necessary to view the electronic file of the document related to them.	The tasks that are not checked can be executed without the need for viewing the electronic file.
Enable released documents to be edited	The data of the documents that have already been released can be edited.	After being released, the documents will be available in read-only mode, making it necessary to create a revision for editing the data. However, document data such as title, printed copy, and security can only be edited if the revision status is draft, in ISO9000 based revisions, or if the revision by workflow has the "Edit metadata" option checked.
Only documents being issued can be deleted	Only the documents that are in the issuing or indexing steps can be deleted from the system.	The documents can be deleted with any status.
Enable the same electronic file to be associated with different documents	The same electronic file can be associated with different documents.	The same electronic file cannot be associated with more than one document.
Allow for same document ID # in different categories	It will be possible to record documents with the same ID #, as long as they belong to different categories.	It will not be possible to record documents with the same ID # in the system (even if they are renamed).
Enable document management in WebDAV	Document management will be performed through WebDAV, allowing that, when viewing the electronic file of a document, the system does not download this file to the temp of the user's machine. The use of this resource is restricted to MS-Office formats and to the formats of Softexpert viewers which work along with the WebDAV path (DocView, ExcelView, PDFView and images/drawings with SE Viewer).	Accessing documents through the WebDAV mapping will be blocked; only the access through the system will be enabled. User is advised to use WebDAV, as it allows SE Suite to use an efficient security system during the visualization of electronic files.
Allow only current revision in the structure	When associating a document with the structure of another document, it will not be possible to select a revision other than the current one.	It will be possible to associate any revision with the document structure.
Send document indexing task to all users with permission to edit it	All users with the "Edit" control enabled in the document security list will receive the Document indexing task.	The "Document indexing" task will be generated only for the user that is responsible for the document.

This section is used to perform the parameterization regarding the revisions of the documents:

Parameter	Enabled	Disabled
Document status search field (default)	The defined statuses are displayed, by default, in the "Document status" filter on the screens in which it is found.	By default, the statuses that are not checked are not displayed in the view. However, during the view, all statuses can be selected and the system will consider this selection to display the result. When no item is selected, the system displays the "Released" option checked by default.
Allow executing the publication acknowledgment via e-mail	The e-mails regarding the publication acknowledgment tasks will have a link for the automatic execution of the corresponding task.	The e-mails regarding the publication acknowledgment tasks will not have the link for the execution.
Enable documents in the draft step to be downloaded/uploaded	Allows downloading or uploading electronic files to the documents during the revision draft step.	It will not be possible to download it through the revision execution screen while the document is in "Draft" step. The electronic file can be edited as usual through the configured viewers. The electronic file can be downloaded in other screens in which this resource is available.
Add electronic file to draft revision step	The revision drafter may associate electronic files with the document through revision execution while it is in "Draft" step.	It will not be possible to add new files when accessing the document data through revision execution.
Allow editing electronic file in review	During the “Review” step of the revision, it will be possible to perform uncontrolled changes (editions) in the document.	It will only be possible to perform controlled changes (in the supported formats) or to view in the review step.
Allow editing electronic file in approval	During the “Approval” step of the revision, it will be possible to perform uncontrolled changes (editions) in the document.	It will only be possible to perform controlled changes (in the supported formats) or to view in the approval step.
Allow editing electronic file in release	During the "Release" revision step, it will be possible to perform uncontrolled changes in the document.	It will only be possible to perform controlled changes (in the supported formats) or to view in the release step.
Releasing of revisions with controlled changes is not allowed**	It will not be possible to close the revision execution of documents with controlled changes.	Revisions can be closed even if they have controlled changes.
Notify structure revision	When going through a revision, the Revision acknowledgment task will be generated for the "Where used" and "Composed of" relationships.	When creating a revision of a document with a structure relationship, no notification will be displayed on the need to revise them.
Block controlled changes*	During the review and approval steps, it will only be possible to view the document; adding markups is not allowed.	During the review, approval and release steps, markups can be added to the electronic files in the supported formats.
Block sending to the next step in the review/approval of revisions with controlled changes**	It makes the user return to the draft step after adding a controlled change in the electronic file.	It allows sending the file to the next step even when it has controlled changes.
Send closure task only to the responsible for the creation of the revision	The Closure step of the revision of a document will only be sent to the user who created the revision.	The "Closure" step of the revision will be sent to the user who created the revision and to every user with the "Revise" permission enabled in document security.
Allow entering the revision date	Enables the "Date" field of the document revision data screen for editing and allows entering a date later than the current date in the "Date" field of the general data of the revised document.	The "Date" field on the revision data screen will not be available to be filled out and it will not be possible to enter a date later than the current date in the "Date" field of the general data of the revised document. In this case, the revision date will be filled out by the system with the revision closure date.

*When this general parameter is checked, the changes will only be blocked for ISO-9000 based revisions. For categories that use workflows, the block must be made through the "Comment" control on the status record.

**This parameter is only applicable to ISO9000-based revisions.

In this section, the options referring to the digital signature of electronic files in the system will be available:

PDF documents
Signature algorithm for the PDF format	The attached signature (PAdEs - PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures) is used by default. Select one of the options to define the signature algorithm that will be used for signing this type of file: SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512. The SHA-512 algorithm is considered the most secure.
Signature stamp picture	Fill out this field to customize the logo that will be used in the digital signature stamp in PDF files if the "Add digital signature timestamp to PDF files" option is checked in the document category. In this case, select the logo image you wish to apply to the stamp.
	Checked	Unchecked
Digital signature as a text on the side	After signing, an informative text will be displayed on the right side of the electronic file. Define the text that will be displayed: ▪Default text: A message to check/view the signature will be displayed. ▪Customized text: On the field that will be enabled, type the text that must be displayed next to the digital signature.	After signing, a side text will not be added the electronic file.

For the digital signature as a text on the side feature to work correctly, it is necessary to have a watermark duly configured and associated with the category of the documents to which it will be applied.

Signature algorithm for the XML format

For the .xml files, the XML Signature format is used by default. Select one of the options to define the signature algorithm that will be used for signing this type of file: SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512. The SHA-512 algorithm is considered the most secure.

Signature algorithm for the CMS format

For the other file types, the CMS SignedData detached format is used by default. Select one of the options to define the signature algorithm that will be used for signing this type of file: SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512. The SHA-512 algorithm is considered the most secure.

Parameter	Enabled	Disabled
Enable PDF conversion service	It allows the conversion of files to PDF to be executed through FileManager. In the fields that will remain enabled, enter the server and the port that will be used. Use the button to test the connection. For further information regarding the installation of this service, refer to the Windows Installation guide or the Linux Installation Guide. Note: If this parameter is enabled, but the server and port are not entered, those entered in the redirection parameter below will be used in the conversion. If the addresses are not entered in either parameter, the conversion will take place through the SE Suite system.	The conversion of files to PDF will not be executed through FileManager.
Enable SE Capture service redirection	Allows the SE Capture services that depend on Microsoft Windows to be executed on a server separated from the application server when it is Linux*. In the fields that will remain enabled, enter the server and the port that will be used. Use the button to test the entered server connection.	It will not be possible to use the SE Capture component when the server is Linux.
Enable verification of electronic files	The system will verify the electronic files through the Maintenance Electronic files verification menu. Also, fill out the following fields: ▪Frequency: Enter, in days, the interval which the system should perform the verification of the electronic files. ▪Verify file integrity: When this option is not selected, the system will verify whether the electronic file associated with a particular document in the system is in the due directory/database. By checking this option, in addition to the verification previously mentioned, the system will also verify, if the hash of the file in directory/database is compatible with the hash of the file of the system.	The files will not be verified by the system.

*If SE Suite has been installed in a server with the GNU/Linux operational system, the user can redirect services that can only be executed in Windows, such as the indexing service of SE Capture and PDF conversion system using Microsoft Office, for a server with Windows. To do so, simply repeat the procedure described previously. The server that will execute these services should be properly configured. Refer to the document for further information.

This section is used to perform the parameterization of the automatic PDF conversion of the electronic files of the documents recorded in the system:

Parameter	Enabled	Disabled
Convert the following formats to PDF	The electronic files with checked extensions will be converted to pdf. See the Conversion to PDF section for more details on the supported formats and PDF conversion of electronic files.	The electronic files with unchecked extensions will not be converted to pdf, even if the extension is compatible with the conversion to PDF resource.
Use workstation to convert to PDF when closing the revision	The electronic files will be converted to pdf in the workstation and not in the server. This option is valid only for electronic files with extensions of MSOffice components and that are configured in the "Convert the following formats to PDF" parameters. Thus, after executing the final revision step, the revision will be sent for closure, so that the file can be converted to PDF. If the closure of the revision is configured to be automatic, the system will release the step automatically.	All electronic files will be converted in the server.
Convert in PDF/A format	The electronic files will be converted to the PDF-A format. Only the files whose extensions are configured in the "Convert the following formats to PDF" parameter will be converted.	The electronic files will be converted to the (regular) .pdf format. Only the files whose extensions are configured in the "Convert the following formats to PDF" parameter will be converted.
When converting error occurs, send e-mail to	If an error occurs while converting an electronic file to PDF, an email will be sent to a defined user. In the User field, select the desired user. For this feature to work correctly, the user's email must be filled in on the data screen of their account and that the appropriate settings regarding the sending and mail server are performed in the SE Configuration component.	If an error occurs while converting an electronic file to PDF, a notification will not be sent.
