Document Management

A. Full-text Indexing
One of the main features of LogicalDOC is full-text indexing of all documents to provide instant search results based on the content of files and
metadata. By leveraging the best of breed indexing technologies, LogicalDOC automatically indexes the complete contents of documents in the
repository. To maximize performances and increase concurrency, the indexing procedure is asynchronous with a configurable scheduling policy.
Different algorithms are applied depending on the language of the document so that the search will be very tailored and able to detect word variants
that are specific for a particular language.

Benefits of this feature

Drastically reduces the need for data entry since the full content of a document is automatically indexed, and this is enough to find the desired
information

Users are able to find the required information in a few seconds

Feature details

Background indexing with scheduling policies


Indexing algorithms for many languages
Support for the mostly used office formats (Microsoft Office, Open Office, PDF and many more)
Integrated OCR for extracting texts from images and raster PDFs

B. Metadata & Templates


With LogicalDOC you can easily customize document properties and metadata to match the business needs of your organization. All documents
provide default properties like Author, Subject, Coverage, and Date. In addition, you can define your own templates in order to add all the custom
properties you need. Document metadata adds descriptive information, making them easier to categorize, store, locate, and retrieve.

Benefits of this feature

C. Version Control
LogicalDOCs Integrated Version Control automatically manages each version of a document as it enters LogicalDOC. Every time a document is
modified, a new version is produced and tracked. The document version is a
always visible the latest version is put forward for current operations while
previous versions remain viewable. Version control allows you to monitor when any change was made and who performed it. A new version is created
when a user changes metadata or when a check
check-out/check-in operation is performed. Check-out/check-in
in operations will also generate a new file
version.

Benefits of this Feature

D. Clustering
A collection of multiple server computers into a single unified cluster provides added measures of performance, reliability, and fault tolerance. The new
LogicalDOC version take advantage of the performances increase afforded to virtual servers within the clustering environment. This is an important
step to achieve high levels of scalability, allowing handling huge installations made up by millions of documents and thousands of users.

Benefits of this feature

You can scale up your Document Management System performances to adapt them to your organization's growth
You can implement a safer environment where if one of the nodes goes down, the others can continue to serve your users

Feature details

Distributed full-text index


Distributed full-text searches
Distributed configurations
Auto discovery of the nodes with the LAN or WAN
More clusters implementable in the same network environment

E. Multi Volumes Storage


LogicalDOC maintains a repository of all loaded documents. The same repository contains not only the files of the documents, but also all past
revisions and all these information are maintained in a reliable and secure file system structure.

The LogicalDOC repository may span multiple volumes, so when a volume becomes full, you can add another disk and continue storing documents
into this new volume. As an interesting option for any volume you can choose to compress and crypt the saved information.

F. Multi Tenancy
Normally LogicalDOC is configured like a single-instance single-tenant environment where each tenant (instance owner) runs a single instance that is
installed on one server or across a cluster of them. Of course LogicalDOC can also run multiple instances on the same server, separating content
stores and creating personalized clients environments in order to give you the following advantages:

Share costs with all tenants.


Share support and personnel costs.

The Multi-tenancy enables multiple independent tenants to be hosted on a single instance, which can be installed either on a single server or across
a cluster of them. The main instance is logically partitioned such that at each client it seems to access a dedicated and isolated instance of
LogicalDOC.

Benefits of this feature

Host more clients in a single LogicalDOC instance


Share the costs of hardware resources
Share the costs of software licenses
Share the general administration costs

Feature details

Each tenant has its own data structure: users, documents, templates ...
Super users can switch from a tenant to another
Normal users can only access their tenant
Each tenant can be branded with custom logos

G. Professional Backup
Every days LogicalDOC helps your team to handle documents and now perhaps a lot of corporate processes rely on it. Have you took the time to
study what would happen if your LogicalDOC stops working due to a malfunction of the server's disk or other serious problem? The LogicalDOC
