Documents
Files and folders
What it is for
A register of business documents with folder, kind, owner, expiry and confidentiality. It stores references to documents, not the file contents.
What the package does and does not do
A register of business documents: folders, document records with kind, owner, expiry and confidentiality, and a draft, published and archived flow. It stores references and, when you upload one, the file itself. Confidentiality is enforced: confidential and restricted documents are visible only to their owner and to documents.manager; public and internal ones to everyone who may read documents.
