What you will be able to do

  • File into the right workspace, with retention applied for you
  • Find a document by a word inside it, not by remembering the folder
  • See what changed recently without hunting
  • Know who can see what, before somebody asks

Open the vault #

Where Documents » Home

  1. From the launcher, click the Documents tile.
  2. Read the workspaces: each is a separate area with its own access.
Records Manager view of open the vault in Tarleaks ERP
Workspaces, not folders, are what access is granted on.

You should see A workspace is the unit of access: people are given a workspace, not forty individual files.

Work inside a workspace #

Where Documents » a workspace

  1. Open a workspace.
  2. Use the folder tree on the left and the file list on the right.
  3. Open a file to see its versions and its history.

Who changed a file last, and when — on the row rather than inside it.

You should see Everything about a file — versions, who opened it, what was extracted from it — hangs off the file itself.

Watch out A new version never overwrites the old one; both stay, which is what makes 'we sent the wrong version' recoverable.

Find a document by what is inside it #

Where Documents » Search

  1. Open Search.
  2. Type a word from inside the document — an invoice number, a name, a clause.
Records Manager view of find a document by what is inside it in Tarleaks ERP
Results show the file and where the match was found.

You should see Text inside uploaded files is indexed, so you can find the invoice by its number rather than by where somebody filed it.

Watch out Scans uploaded before text extraction was switched on are not searchable until they are re-extracted.

Worth knowing If a scan does not come back, it was uploaded before text extraction was enabled — re-extract it from the document itself.

See what changed lately #

Where Documents » Recent

  1. Open Recent.

What changed, newest first, across the workspaces you can see.

You should see The fastest way back to the thing you were working on yesterday.

Use cases — the work, step by step

Each one is a sequence somebody actually performs, with the screen behind every step. Every screen here was opened in the product as this role before it was published.

dailyFile something so it can be found again #

A document nobody can find is the same as a document nobody kept — and the type you choose decides how long it is kept for.

  1. Open Documents and pick the workspace the file belongs to. The workspace is the access decision.

weeklyFind what changed while you were away #

Recent is faster than remembering which folder somebody used.

  1. Open Recent and read what was added or changed, newest first.

Nothing is hard-deleted here. Destruction happens through retention, and a legal hold stops it — which is the difference between an archive and a shared drive.
