Document Manager
A powerful weapon in the paper war!
Atlas Document Manager enables the forest manager to readily view all relevant documents related to any forest entity in Atlas GeoMaster.
These documents can be contracts, orthophotos, resource consents, file notes, or any other document held as an electronic file somewhere on the organisation’s computer network. If some documents are not in electronic form it may be necessary to scan them, but once done they will never be lost in boxes or obscure folders again.
Document Manager can be used to link these electronic documents to the relevant entity recorded in ATLAS GeoMaster e.g. a forest, stand, or event. Note that Document Manager does not store or manage the documents themselves; it only manages references to documents (e.g. the file path and name).
