Intuitive document storage
With AXAVIAdms you can file and structure your documents according to your personal preferences. Due to the strong orientation to Windows conditions, documents can easily be taken over via templates or via drag & drop from the explorer. In addition to document storage in familiar folder structures, this can also be done on a project-oriented basis. The advantage of this is that projects can contain not only documents but also other elements such as calculations, technical structures or the complete project management. This creates a seamless link to document management.
- Arbitrary and freely definable folder structure
- Drag & Drop from Explorer
- Standardization templates
- Project groups and projects
- Project team with role defines access authorization

Document properties and classification - ingenious for technicians
AXAVIAdms contains a variety of document information. In addition to creator and last modification, specific CAD information is also included. In addition to the search for any document properties, you can assign keywords to each document, which can be used to find the documents at any time. Optionally to the search, these keywords are displayed in an index tree, so that the documents can be found in a structured way. The documents can be taken over via drag & drop from the Windows Explorer.
The document repository can also be set up in a project-oriented manner. Project groups and projects are available for this purpose. In addition to documents, a project can also contain other elements such as costing, project management or technical structures and is seamlessly linked to document management.
In technical areas, especially in power plant construction, special marking standards are provided for documents. The marking according to plant, location or PPS identifiers requires a special extension. Here the technical structure of the plant is used and thus the integration into the engineering database is created. AXAVIAdms supports this marking on the one hand and has an implementation of the marking system according to DIN 61355 on the other hand.
- Plant and location identification
- KKS marking
- DIN 61355
Review and approve documents
Defined workflows can be used to check and release documents both internally and externally. A multi-stage release process is available for the change and release process, which is two-stage (review and release) in the standard configuration. In connection with the login, the corresponding user with check and release date is entered. The object status gives you information about the current status at any time (In progress, In review, Released, Out of date, ...). Use the workflow not only for documents, but also for any kind of objects.
From a certain stage of a project, it is necessary to record all changes exactly. Especially in the pharmaceutical or chemical industry, exact reproducibility is required by law. AXAVIAseries logs the most important changes. It can be traced at any time who created and last changed an object and when. Via a change log all changes of data, such as: who, when, what has been changed, are exactly documented and thus traceable at any time. Important events or changes can be monitored and automatic notifications can be sent by e-mail. Individual objects, object groups or status changes can be logged.
- Workflow for change and release management
- Object status identifies the state of an object
- Object status influences user rights
- Revisioning for further processing
- Logging of changes and access to the history
- Notification of relevant changes
Sign documents electronically
The electronic signature brings your handwritten signature into the digital world. With the help of the handwritten electronic signature, the process chain of the digital document from creation to archiving can be realized without media disruption.
The handwritten electronic signature, which is executed on a signature pad or mobile device with pen input, is becoming increasingly important. It alone represents a simple continuation of the conventional work process, the writing of a signature, in electronic form.
The general security of the solution has already been successfully tested and certified by independent testing institutes such as TÜV and by many well-known signotec customers.
Audit-proof archive with Filelock
The handling of business documents is subject to strict regulations: According to the guidelines of the German Commercial Code (HGB), the GoBD and other tax and commercial law requirements, all companies are obliged to archive electronic data in an audit-proof manner. An inadequacy can lead to fines in the millions.
However, the implementation of all requirements poses considerable challenges for companies of all sizes: Ensuring compliance, changing the IT structure and new workflows cost a lot of time and money. But you can save that: FileLock offers you a simple, flexible and cost-effective solution. Thanks to WORM functionality, data is automatically stored in an unchangeable way. Nothing changes for the user: He can continue to access the data as usual via AXAVIA, as it can be read as often as desired. However, any change attempts are completely blocked, at least during the set retention time. Only after this time has expired is it possible to delete the data again. This prevents unauthorized access to archived data.
But FileLock not only protects new documents, existing data can also be subsequently archived in an audit-proof manner. It offers a simple solution to protect data in an audit-proof manner without interfering with existing systems and processes.
processes.
The FileLock software runs on standard Windows servers as well as on a virtual machine and is individually scalable according to your system requirements. The FileLock product is integrated in AXAVIAdms and is controlled via the workflow. Documents which are moved into the audit-proof archive are therefore no longer changeable. The product Filelock by Graudata is an optional product and has to be purchased separately.
