Documents

Every IS object can be assigned an unlimited number of electronic documents. This module enables one to create electronic archives of all documents relating to specific IS objects defined in the Chastia FM system. Multimedia abilities of this archive of documents are virtually unlimited.

Integration of documents into the hierarchy of property (spaces, buildings, ..., facilities) allows extremely fast searching of documents and immediate access to their viewing and editing using one touch of the pointer.

The Documents module serves for attaching the documents to the current IS object, and also for creating central archives of documents independent of IS objects. Documents in the system are classified into groups (directories) with a tree structure.

Documents that are not attached to any IS object - i.e. at the level of the entire company - can be attached to the Documents group. These documents can be accessed from any place in a Chastia FM project. Attaching a document to the current IS object can be done in the Basic module group; other groups serve as a storage for automatically generated documents from other modules of the Chastia FM system - for example, contracts, amendments to contracts, invoices, settlements, etc.

Any document from your local disk can be added into the archive of documents, in the form of a file. These documents can be filtered and sorted in folders similarly to the Microsoft Windows system.

Examples of registered documents:

  • CAD format drawings,
  • text and table documents,
  • web pages,
  • bitmap images,
  • photographs,
  • sound clips,
  • video clips,
  • and any other electronic documents.

The Documents module contains a standalone application Chastia Capture, which serves for fast scanning and saving of scanned documents into archives. Among other things, it enables the creation of multipage TIFF and PDF files from scanned documents, with automatic saving in the Documents module structure.
