ACS Software, Inc. Releases SR4 Update for Version 6.5 of the AutoEDMS™ Document Management & Workflow Solution

ACS Software, Inc. — the developer of the AutoEDMS Document Management & Workflow Solution, for workgroups, multi-site enterprises and the Internet, released Service Release 4 (SR4) Update for Version 6.5 of AutoEDMS. This release is a significant upgrade enabling AutoEDMS customers to better manage, share and view their data and digital assets more effectively. “A lot of work went into this significant upgrade, with hundreds of improvements,” noted ACS Software President, Todd Hays.

Enhancements include . . .

Viewing

AutoEDMS offers the aVue viewing system in both Desktop and Client-Server Editions. The features and format support are virtually identical for both platforms. Both provide a single uniform interface, and one comprehensive set of tools for natively viewing and printing various electronic documents. AutoEDMS aVue is state-of-the-art viewing technology that supports all the latest file formats, including AutoCAD 2009 DWG and DWF, MicroStation v8, Acrobat PDF, and Word/Excel 2008. SR4 also supports a new “HD AutoImage” option that provides “high definition” autoimages for TIFF files, etc.

Workflow Engine

In Version SR4, the AutoEDMS Workflow Engine™, which automatically routes documents between people and departments, automating revision and approval processes, offers significant performance improvements in workflow operation, particularly for workflows with multiple steps and several documents. Local workstations can now be used for “working copy” folders and workflow comment files travel with the associated documents to provide tighter directory security.

AutoEDMS Reports

In SR4, AutoEDMS Reports support has been added for picture/image field types to display company logos. Also, project database fields can now be added to reports, and the report orientation (portrait/landscape) is saved with each report definition. The print preview function has been improved.

Database Transfer Wizard

The AutoEDMS Database Transfer Wizard now supports spreadsheets with multiple sheets, and database transfer “mapping” settings are retained throughout the import process, so they can be modified without recreation. Project database fields can also be included in the transfer process.

SR4 and the aVue viewing system upgrades are offered as part of the All-In-One subscription upgrade plan.
