Individual documents can easily be added to the system by users or creators of the documents. DMS should provide complete profiling and indexing capabilities, including the ability to assign unlimited field attributes to document and folder templates and to organize documents into folders. DMS should provide the user with the ability to search for documents and folders, view and revise the documents under version control across the entire company while maintaining secure document control. Documents and folders can be found by using any combination of field attributes defined in the document template of by text contained in the document.

Document revision allows documents to be checked out of the repository, revised, and checked back into the repository as a new version. Complete revision history is tracked so that when a document is created, modified, or deleted, the user id, date and time of the revision is recorded.Security is provided using internal authentication or through external authentication using LDAP. Authorization to maintain documents and folders is managed through a powerful role-based security model that maps Access Control Lists to roles and templates. Complete administrative control is provided for rights to read, write, modify, delete, and manage documents and folders.
