When to use this plugin ?
Tired of duplicated documents that are in a mess on your network drives? Would you like to be able to keep track of document version history and updates? And to finally be able to work together with others on shared documents? And above all, would you like to have a better control of document visibility and of who has access to it?
Switch to an efficient and intuitive electronic document management system with the Jalios Explorer module!
What is this plugin about ?
The "Explorer" plugin is a solution for classifying and navigating your documents or publications. You can create a tree structure similarly to the file explorer on your computer.
The explorer can be:
- Contextualized in a collaborative space: all publications will then only be accessible by members of the space. This is often useful to set up the document library of a project or a documentary space.
- Global: just as like an EDM for dematerliazation, it is then accessible from the main menu. Rights management is often used in this case to restrict access
