Manuals, contracts, photos and certificates linked to the asset's card, always at hand.
An asset's documentation is often scattered across shared folders, emails and paper archives. In CMDBuild every document is linked to the card it refers to: when you look up a piece of equipment, you immediately find its manual, its service contract and its latest acceptance test report.
What you can store
Any type of file, with no limit on their number: photos, technical manuals, contracts, certificates, forms, screenshots.
Well-organized documents
Categories
Documents are classified into categories defined by the administrator, for example "Contract" or "Certification", so you can find them without fail.
Document data
Each category can require specific information to fill in when the file is uploaded, for example a certificate's expiry date.
Instant access
Attachments are available from the asset's card: download them or open them directly in the browser, without searching through other folders.
Document as a field
A document can also be a field of the card, for example a photo of the equipment, with a preview visible at a glance.
Where they are stored
Files are stored in a document management system (DMS). CMDBuild natively supports Alfresco and Microsoft SharePoint. Repositories that support the CMIS standard can be used through a plugin, and a dedicated plugin can be developed for other systems (see Plugins and extensions).
Not just at your desk
On the move and with artificial intelligence too
Photos from the field
With the Mobile App you take a photo during an inspection and save it directly as an attachment to the card.
Ask your documents
With PowerFinder you ask questions about the content of stored documents, in natural language.
