How it Works

With File XChange, GlobalSearch databases show up as drives in your Windows directory structure. Your documents are completely secure and accurately classified using the assigned GlobalSearch permissions and indexing structure.

  • ECM Save Feature

    Save

    Save a new document using the standard “Save As” feature and selecting a GlobalSearch directory from Windows. GlobalSearch will prompt you to complete the associated index fields for filing the document away so it can be located with ease going forward.

  • GlobalSearch Index

    Index

    Add documents to the GlobalSearch database simply by dragging and dropping a record to the correct folder in Windows. GlobalSearch will prompt you to complete the associated index data for filing the document away.

  • ECM Search Feature

    Search

    Search for records by right clicking on a GlobalSearch directory in Windows where you can select and run searches based on your security permissions.

  • Windows File System Information

    Open

    Open the record in its native application using any locally installed program like Microsoft Word or Excel. File XChange is format agnostic and will open any record regardless of type provided you have the proper permissions.

  • Square 9 Collaboration

    Collaborate

    All of your favorite document collaboration tools are available including MS Word Change Tracking, Markups, and Document Comparisons. Access is available to anyone with the proper permissions as your documents remain secure and available in a single centrally managed repository.

  • Save to GlobalSearch

    Retain

    Save changes easily using your native software applications and they’ll be automatically saved to GlobalSearch. If GlobalSearch revision control is enabled, a new version is created on the fly for automated change tracking.
