A detailed look at M-Files
Research into Information Management shows that even companies that make extensive use of systems for ERP, CRM and other business areas still retrain 60 % of their information in documents; mainly simple documents in Microsoft Office formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
Other studies show that companies generally tend to have about 19 versions of the same document, usually in different folders in the company network — excluding versions on the employees’ own desktops! This further compounds the already complex issues of finding the right information in the right time, and be sure that it’s the right version of that piece of information.
Using M-Files to manage your information, it become much easier to find what you need than in traditional, folder-based solutions. With M-Files DMS, you can be certain to always find the right version first, with full version management allowing you to see past versions. M-Files keeps track of all sorts of informations and can in most cases completely prevent file doubles in your network.
Metadata ensures relevant promotion of data
When setting up M-Files as your DMS, you decide which metadata, assignments, workflows etc. to connect to different documents. At that point, you typically assign the relevant Users/User Groups as responsible and/or collaborators for different document types and categories.
These documents and other data kan then be published or “marketed” in various clever ways, to ensure they reach the relevant people when they are needed. This makes it very easy to direct the flow of information to the users in a successful way.
Using the search function it is possible to find data based not only on the subject and free-text from within the document, but also on connected roles, groups, projects and other metadata. View the video about Metadata Cards in this section to learn more!
Document Management in different ways, for different people
Find your information faster! Quickly getting a hold on the right information among 100 000’s of documents and other data requires optimal methods for finding and searching in your document management system. With our easy-to-use system for document management, it is possible to find the right data in several ways:
- In Views: virtual folders that filter files and other data based on select metadata. These can be general views setup for access by the whole company; specific to certain user groups; or completely individual and created by the users for their own Home screen.
- Through Simple Search, where M-Files quickly give you a ranked list of the most relevant results based on your free-text search. These searches use an advanced algorythm to ensure the items you are most probably looking for get a top ranking.
- Using Advanced Search, which lets you filter your search and get a smaller selection of results.
View in M-Files
In M-Files it is possible to filter content based on metadata and promote it to the relevant people using Views. The screenshot shows a View designed to give an overview of projects.
Search
It is possible to perform simple searches on both document contents and metadata. The results are presented with a personal scoring, ensuring that the most relevant data for the current user is shown at the top.
Advanced Search
With the Advanced Search in M-Files, you can specify more precise search criteria and narrow down the results to specific data types, process areas or other metadata.
People are different and it is our experience that they prefer different approaches. Some want pre-configured Views to find the data they are expected to work with quickly from their Home screen, others want to configure their own individual Views based on their schedules and responsibilities. Then there are those that prefer to only use the smart search function. M-Files DMS lets people use any way as a way to find their data: different ways for different people!
Role-based content with Personal Views
In M-FIles, it is possible for users to create their own views with filters for information they need to find quickly. These views can also be created and delivered to the users by an admin. Examples include:
- List of Active Projects that you have a stake in.
- Documents you have created or edited recently.
- Documents you have created or edited recently.
If you use Advanced Search and create a really useful set of filters for your role, you can also save that search as a View so that you can have it handy the next time you need it.
Personal searches
Of course, you can also filter normal searches to only find you have a stake in.
Workflows in M-Files
Workflows are used to add value to content, standardize processes and make your people more efficient at using content. They can be used on documents and other data, including projects.
We use M-FIles is for managing all of our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data and tasks. In our setup for Opportunities, we have the following Workflow steps:
- Lead
- Qualified
- Closed as Won
- Closed as lost
Each step can be configured to trigger different events, such as:
- Send notifications to specified roles
- Create and send out assignments
- Give additional users access to a piece of data
- Change or add metadata to an object
- … and much more!
If a group of users in Sales are not supposed to be disturbed by every incoming lead before their are set to Qualified status, it is possible to use the M-Files access rights to only give those users access after the lead has reached the relevant step in the workflow. In this way it is possible to govern the flow of data so that the most relevant reaches the users via their Home page, searches and views in the Document Management System.
