Documents

Viewer v2

The document viewer has been completely redesigned to give you better visibility:

  • The left-hand sidebar displays all versions and their status.
  • A timeline shows the document's lifecycle from the original file through the various workflows.
  • The right-hand sidebar adapts according to the document's lifecycle that you select.

This new viewer supports PDF, image, and Word formats. It will support DWG format very soon.

Value list with colors & icons

You can now add an icon and apply a color to each element of your value lists (metadata).

Preset document category & metadata per folder

Establish document categories (templates) (e.g., General Documents, Drawings, Datasheets, Correspondence). Assign them specific metadata and naming conventions.

Next, the Folder configuration tool allows you to apply a category per folder and predefine metadata values. For example, in folder 4. Technical / 100_STAB, the document type is set to TD (Datasheet) and the discipline is set to STC (concrete structure).

Digital signature with 3rd parties (eg. contracts)

Cooperlink's workflow engine now supports digital signatures, including those involving third parties without access to Cooperlink. To enable this, add the "Task over portal" and/or "Notify" actions to validate and share your documents with third parties who do not have access to a Cooperlink workspace.

The following improvements have also been made:

  • The document title is now directly editable in the metadata card (see previous illustration, right-hand sidebar).
  • During upload, a title suggestion is offered to the user.
