Document management
Document management provides an efficient, centralized repository for your documents. WebSphere Portal includes the Manage Document Libraries administrative portlet, Document Manager, and Productivity Components, powerful tools that you can use to manage your documents and other content. The Manage Document Libraries portlet allows administrators to perform management tasks. The Document Manager portlet application allows users to contribute and share documents, and it provides users a simple method for creating, storing, navigating, viewing, and searching documents and other content. Depending on how the administrator configures the Document Manager instance, users can work with their own editing applications or use Productivity Components to create and edit word documents, presentations, and spreadsheets.
Document Manager helps users organize the content they have seen, want to read, or want to share. Users can create and edit documents without having to be logged in to WebSphere Portal. Users can then upload the documents to Document Manager, which allows other authorized users to work with the documents. Documents are organized into folder hierarchies. Document Manager maintains properties and attributes of documents, handles conversion of documents to other formats, and serves as an organized repository for documents of any format. You can search documents that are maintained in Document Manager by using the Document Manager search feature. Authorized users can control document modifications through versioning and a draft approval process. See the Managing documents topic for more information.
