Fields

ID #

Enter a number or code to identify the document or use the arrow next to this field to generate an automatic ID #. If the ID # is not filled out, the system automatically generates one for the created document.

If the identification mask use has been configured in the category, when the automatic ID # is generated, the corresponding mask will be displayed. The ID # generated through the mask can only be edited if the "Enable generated ID # change" option is checked on the category data screen.

It will only be possible to use the same document ID # in different categories if the corresponding option is checked in the Document tab of the general parameters.

Title

Enter a name/title for the document or, if the use of identification mask for the title has been configured in the category, use the arrow located next to this field to automatically generate the title.

The title generated through the mask can only be edited if the "Enable title change" option is checked on the data screen of the category.

Status

Displays the current status of the document. If in the category, indexing or revision control has not been configured, the initial status of the document will be "Released".

Language

Select the language of the electronic files of the document. Thus, it will be possible to link the same documents in different languages, allowing the user to associate them and revise them together, when necessary.

Author

Displays the data of the logged user, and it is possible to edit it. In this case, enter the name of the person who wrote the document and it does not need to be necessarily, a user of the system.

If the author is also a system user, use the button placed on the side of the field, to select the desired user.

If in the document category the "Enable author name editing" option is not checked, after the record is saved for the first time, the author cannot be edited.

Revision*

If the revision ID # has been defined to be "Numeric" or "Text", this field will display the number/letter that corresponds to the current revision of the document. If the revision ID # is "Customized", enter an ID # for the document revision.

If it is the first revision and the "Enable ID # changes of revisions in the draft step" option is checked, the user can edit this field.

Date

Enter the validity date of the document/revision. When this field is filled out, it is important to consider:

If the document has the Revision control enabled in its category: This field will only be enabled for completion of the "Disable creation of released documents in the system" option is not checked in the category, and it should be filled out in documents that have already gone through draft step and the user wishes to release, because in this case, the system will cancel the revision flow and release the document on the entered date. Thus, if the entered date is before or equal to the current date, the system will change the document status to Released. If the entered date is after the current date, the system will ask to confirm the document should be published on the date that has been entered. If the user confirms publication, the system will keep the document status as "Issue" but its revision will remain under "Closure" until the date that has been entered, when it will be Released. Notice that if the "Disable creation of released documents in the system" option is checked on the category data screen, it will NOT be possible to fill out this field.

If the document has the Indexing control enabled in its category: Filling out this field is required and the date entered must be prior or equal to the current date.
