DocuWare’s powerful fulltext retrieval feature can be combined with all supported database systems. In addition, this feature extracts text from any scanned document. The fulltext search also allows wildcards before and/or after text, for example “*storage”. Occurrences of the text are highlighted in color in the DocuWare viewer.
Documents in DocuWare can be accessed and displayed directly from other applications. DocuWare provides a number of options for this, including a LINK module that can be configured using menus, a Software Developer Kit (SDK) for C, COM and .NET interfaces, browser integration, and a SAP interface. Other specific interfaces to ERP solutions are supplied by partner companies.
Administrators can centrally define different search and store menu dialogs as well as result lists to one file cabinet or to multiple file cabinets. These dialogs specify which fields are available for input and which can be initialized with default values. The various dialogs can be assigned to individual users or roles. Users work either with a dialog that they need for their own specific tasks, or they choose the dialog they need for a particular file cabinet from a list in the main window. This is convenient for documents that need to be accessed regularly and for document types such as contracts or logs that must be filed in a particular way.
