Regulated Documents' records management capabilities help you control the archive and final disposition of documents. Records managers issue a query to locate all inactive controlled documents in the Regulated Documents repository and set the status to "archive."

  • Supports multiple, parallel review

    Many people can participate in a concurrent review of a document without overwriting the comments of others or changing the original document. Each reviewer's comments are saved independently, and can subsequently be accepted or rejected by the author or editor of the original document.
