The rest of this presentation will explain each of those DMS features.
![Page 5: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Configure Document “Categories” and Document “Classes” for hierarchical organization
4castplus provides tools in Configuration to define document Categories and Classes. These specify how documents are organized and stored.
![Page 6: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Category 1
Class 1 Class 2 Class 3
Category 2
Class 21 Class 22 Class 23
Each Category can have multiple Classes
![Page 7: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
By configuring this category & class hierarchy, you’re establishing a corporate standard for how your document repository is organized
![Page 8: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Configuring the document repository hierarchy looks like this in 4castplus:
![Page 9: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Click on Configuration
2. Click on Documents
3. Add/Edit Categories
![Page 10: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4. Add/Edit Classes
![Page 11: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
You’ll notice that there are System Classes already defined. These are there for 4castplus module-specific purposes. Such as for purchase order, change order, Invoice, Timesheet, etc.
![Page 12: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Document “Class” is the level where actual documents will be located on the Project. In the next screen, you’ll see a project-level document repository.
![Page 13: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Open a Project
2. Go to the Documents area
3. The documents organizational hierarchy is based on category and class.
![Page 14: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Notice that the project repository reflects the configured hierarchy.
![Page 15: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Remember: this is NOT a folder structure! This is a Document Repository.
![Page 16: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
By standardizing the repository, ALL project documents will be organized the same way
![Page 17: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This enables you to report on documents across projects and the organization
![Page 18: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Document Naming
![Page 19: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
See how when you click on a document here, that document’s detailed information shows up below
![Page 20: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Notice the File Naming. The file is being catalogued according to a standard file naming convention.
This is the name of the original file.
![Page 21: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You can configure naming standards according to your document codes. See the next slide…
![Page 22: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Document Code is used to define a document’s name according to your standard naming rules
![Page 23: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Now let’s talk about Metadata for a minute.
![Page 24: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4castplus automatically captures a lot of contextual information about a document. For example …
![Page 25: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sample contextual Information captured about an uploaded document:
1. Date & Time uploaded
2. Upload Point: Origin of where the document was uploaded. For example, a Purchase Order, Change Order, Jobsite, Timesheet, etc.
3. Uploaded by: The Person that uploaded the document
4. Project, Customer, Location
5. And much more…
![Page 26: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In addition to contextual data you can also configure Metadata data fields to capture extra information about documents.
![Page 27: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When you click on a document, you’ll see that there is:• An area for Comments/Notes• Extended Metadata• Document Versions• Download History
![Page 28: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The next screen shows how to configure metadata fields.
![Page 29: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
1. Click on Metadata
2. Create customized metadata fields to capture specific information about types of documents
![Page 30: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A bit more about metadata:1. You can have metadata fields specific to document classes
2. You can optionally make metadata fields as “Required” so that filling them in is mandatory
3. There’s no limit to the metadata you can define
![Page 31: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Auto-Routing and Auto-Cataloging of Documents based on Upload Point.
![Page 32: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You can upload documents into 4castplus in many locations throughout the system. For example:
![Page 33: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example Upload Points in 4castplus
1. Purchase Order
2. Request For Quote
3. Jobsite Timesheet
4. Change Order
5. Customer Invoice
6. Project
7. Equipment
![Page 34: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When you upload a document from one of these Built-In upload points, the document is automatically given the Category/Class attributes according to that context.
![Page 35: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
For Example, when you upload & attach a document to a Purchase Order, that document is given …
Category: Procurement Class: Purchase order
These documents have been attached to this purchase order. Therefore given the appropriate class in the repository.
![Page 36: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The 4castplus Field Data Capture module –called the “Jobsite Timesheet” – has further features for collecting, cataloging and routing documents.
![Page 37: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Jobsite Timesheet has a specialized “Documents” area that allows site personnel to upload multiple types of documents
![Page 38: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
To enable this, you can configure “Drop Zones” for the Jobsite. Here’s what it looks like …
![Page 39: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Drop Zones
Uploaded Documents
![Page 40: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Site personnel can drag & drop documents into the zones and the documents will be organized according to the zone Class.
![Page 41: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Here’s how you indicate which classes should appear as a Jobsite Timesheet Document Drop Zone …
![Page 42: 4castplus document management](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1454c1a28abef328b4589/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Specify which “Class” appears as a drop zone in the Jobsite Timesheet here
