Filer’s Top Features

Intelligent Document Viewer

Our HTML 5 document viewer allows users to select and view all documents relating to a context from a single view. Supporting over 70+ file formats it removes the need for users to open up multiple applications.

Configurable Sections for Navigation

Present documents in a configurable and structured context, allowing a user to seamlessly explore records relating to the context. Covering any context; HR Files, Patient Records, Finance, Legal, Projects, Accounts, etc.

Search & Refinement

Enable users to quickly find the relevant documents in large cases through ‘Free Text’ search and configurable search refiners. For example, a user could very quickly locate all ‘Approved’ ‘Contracts’ ‘Created’ in the last 90 days.

Annotation, & Redaction

Users can annotate and redact documents from within the user interface to avoid opening third-party solutions like Adobe. Any changes will not compromise the underlying record assuring regulatory compliance.

Records Management

Building upon Microsoft SharePoint standard records management capabilities, Encodian Filer adds support for complex retention schedule rules which cannot be served by the standard Microsoft offerings.

Automated Document Filing and OCR

Assure that documents are consistently OCR’d and filed in the correct location using the configurable metadata document routing engine. This assures that documents can be easily found and the correct retention schedules are always applied.

Automatic Document Conversion

Enable automatic document format conversion (PDF/A) for automatically filed documents to comply with common records management, archive and regulatory compliance practices.

No Code Integration

Automatically attach business data to document metadata through no-code integration. For example, automatically add patient demographic data to filed documents, enabling automatic filing and complex retention schedule assignment.

Power Automate

Power Apps or Microsoft Forms, in fact, anything! It’s fully integrated into Power Automate, allowing data to be consumed from pretty much anywhere.
