Documents Module (Primary Suite)



How To: Add a New Document

To upload a new or revised version of a file in the Documents Module, open the Documents Home Page from the Main Menu and navigate the repository to the location where you want to add an additional folder.

To create a nested file within a folder, first open the parent folder. This will prevent you from having to move the file after the upload is complete.

Drag and drop file(s) or select them from your device. Once the desired documents are chosen, select “Continue,” opening the second screen of the Add a New Document Modal.

Use both the Basic Details Tab and the Advanced Options Tab to designate the appropriate properties for the document and click the Add Document button. (A detailed explanation of the customizable document properties on both tabs has been included below.)

A pop-up confirms that the new document was successfully added.

Basic Details

Under the Basic Details Tab, the user can input a title, description of the file, revision number and revision date. They can also designate any document owners (the uploader is initially included as an Owner by default) and tags.

If the incorrect file was selected, the user can click “Select a different file” from the top right corner of the modal to exchange it with the correct file.

Document owner(s) can be selected from a dropdown list of users.

Document owners have the ability to approve documents, which is relevant for companies who are required to attest an annual/periodic review for regulatory agencies or other governing bodies. Document owners are also notified any time a new comment is made on a file and are responsible for affirming continued suitability of the file if enabled under Advanced Options.

Advanced Options

Selecting the Advanced Options Tab allows the user to apply enhanced settings to the file. An explanation of each Advanced Options checkbox is included in the table below.

Document Advanced Options Explanations

Checkbox

Explanation

Document is Public

Selecting the “Document is public” checkbox allows individuals who are not users in the KAStrack system to view files.

Users in KAStrack will need appropriate permissions to view the file regardless.

Document is 360° Photo

Selecting the “Document is a 360° photo” checkbox communicates to KAStrack that the file is intended for 360° viewing to ensure it shows correctly.

New Revisions Require Approval

Selecting the “New revisions require approval” checkbox opens a dropdown menu. Approval requirements for the file can be designed by Access Level, Certification Role, or specific individuals in the system. An additional checkbox can be selected if this revision requires approval.

Users view the files that require approval on the Documents Module Review Page.

New Revisions Require Acknowledgement

Selecting the “New revisions require acknowledgement” checkbox allows acknowledgement requirement customization.

The “This revision requires acknowledgement” checkbox will notify the Access Levels, Certification Roles, or individuals selected of the new document. If “Acknowledgement is required for login” is selected, a user will not be able to access anything in KAStrack until the user acknowledges the revised document. A textbox allows the user to include a customized acknowledgement message that will be included in the automated message sent out to users by KAStrack.

Users view the files that require acknowledgement on the Documents Module Review Page, or just after signing in, when “Acknowledgement is required for login” is enabled.

Send Notifications of New Revisions

Selecting the “Send notifications of new revisions” checkbox allows a user to customize (by Access Level, Certification Role, or individual) who receives an email notification that a new file revision has been updated in KAStrack. An additional checkbox can be selected if a notification is to be sent for this revision.

Users view the files they have received notification of on the Documents Module Review Page.

Requires Future Review by Owner

Selecting the “Requires future review by owner” checkbox allows the user to schedule the next review date and set a reminder for the review deadline.

Users review files for continued suitability on the Documents Module Review Page.
