What is OpenDocMan?

OpenDocMan provides a comprehensive document management solution designed to meet ISO 17025 and OIE standards for document control. This web-based system offers centralized document storage with support for multiple file types, eliminating the need for FTP by allowing direct browser uploads. The platform includes meta-data fields for each file, departmental categorization, and a check-out feature to prevent overwriting during edits.

The system features robust workflow automation with document review processes, file expiration management, and email notifications. Security is maintained through fine-grained user access controls at both file and departmental levels, with three distinct user types: User, Admin, and Super-Admin. The interface follows a minimalist design approach for ease of use while providing comprehensive search capabilities through quick-browse and full meta-data search options.
