You have complete control of the document versions, including a full overview of past versions and a log of all changes and document events. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/lock-outline.png) #### Role-based Access Control Different roles (Admin, Approver, Editor, HR Staff etc.) may have different access to content and functions – to ensure the right people find the right content, quickly. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/thumbs-up.png) #### Standard pre-configured Review & Approval workflows Pre-configured document workflows that are ready-to-use, to ensure your Controlled Document Procedure is standardized and professional. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/document-automation.png) #### Configurable Workflows & Automation You can also configure your own Workflows, if the pre-configured ones are unable to meet all of your needs. Easily add new steps and automation to the workflows, or create a new workflow from scratch. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/review.png) #### Review Process Review document drafts before they are sent for approval. Schedule spontaneous or recurring reviews of content. With reminders, notifications and overview of current tasks. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/checked-doc.png) #### Approval Process Manage Approval of documents with workflows and electronic signatures. With reminders, notifications and overview of current tasks. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/pdf-export.png) #### Publication to Elements URL Library Upon publication, documents Master Versions in PDF format are created and published directly to the Elements URL Library, with their appropriate tags. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/inbox-doc.png) #### Archiving When it is time to retire a document, there is a process and workflow for that too. Archived documents are kept out of the way of ordinary use, but easy to find and searchable in the archive. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/elements-small-logo.png) ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/office-small-logo.png) #### Tight 2-way integration with Elements & MS Office CtrlDocs can interact with Elements content, for example publish documents directly to Activity Attachments and enriching Elements content with metadata and workflows. CtrlDocs Content Management features can also be integrated immediately into MS Office (Word, Outlook, etc.) and most other Windows apps. ![](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/modular.png) #### Add functionality for Supporting Quality Processes Add more modules to handle more processes such as Audit Management, Change Management, Knowledge Management and many more. We have several pre-configured modules and a full, modular Quality Management System: [Visual QMS](https://ctrldocs.com/visual-qms/). **… and more! [Contact us](#contact) for a Personal Demo!** ## Manage your Controlled Documents [![Screenshot of CtrlDocs dashboard, where it is possible to search for documents and collaborate in editing and approval workflows of Controlled Documents.](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/screenshot-of-controlled-documents-for-elements-1024x461.png) ](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/screenshot-of-controlled-documents-for-elements.png)Make your Controlled Document Procedure easy: with fast search for documents and effective collaboration workflows. **CtrlDocs for Elements** gives your content Editors, Reviewers and Process Owners a place to manage documents and other data, and can fully support a professional _Controlled Document Procedure_. Published documents are placed as links to PDF files in the Elements URL Library, with the appropriate tags to let your Users find them quickly; and make them available for use as Attachments on Activities and other Elements content. End-Users can access the documents as Attachments or find them by searching the URL Library. CtrlDocs makes sure that only the correct versions are available and that new publications replace the old links. The actual files can be placed in a storage location of your choosing (network folders, Sharepoint, Dropbox; anywhere the CtrlDocs application and your End-Users can access them), together with the appropriate tags and metadata (if applicable). When the documents are Retired and Archived in CtrlDocs, the solution ensures they are retired at other locations as well. ## Immediate implementation Our Pre-Configured solution can be implemented immediately as an affordable base package, **with a minimum of 5 Document Editor seats.** If you have a **Elements.Cloud Pro Space**, we can start discussing how to implement **CtrlDocs** for your company today!

With Workflows, Scheduling, Notifications and Reminders. It is also possible to integrate Elements content directly into the CtrlDocs content management system, to enrich Process Diagrams, Activities, Reference Models and other content with metadata, workflows and other M-Files capabilities – including the fast and easy search. We have many pre-configured modules that you can add on to benefit from this combination, for example to handle Changes and Audits of Process Diagrams, Controlled Documents and Reference Models (ISO requirements, etc.) in a standardized way with workflows in CtrlDocs. We have even created [Visual QMS](https://ctrldocs.com/visual-qms/): a solution for a full, visual Quality Management System based on our pre-configured modules and Elements, which allows you to manage all Quality Management processes in an easy, modern and more affordable way. With a deep, two-way integration CtrlDocs can also publish document links directly as attachments to selected Activities and other Elements content – allowing your to _mass-update_ the attachments and other properties of multiple Process Diagrams and Activities (even with Automation) from within CtrlDocs. ## Powered by ![M-Files](https://ctrldocs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/m-files-logo-t.png) We use a leading standard solution called **M-Files** to power **CtrlDocs**. **M-Files** is recognized in the **Gartner Magic Quadrant**, **Nucleus Research Value Matrix** and other reports on Content Management Services as a leader of innovation, ease-of-use and ease-of-configuration.
