iDok is a cutting-edge document management software that utilizes modern open source projects. It helps users organize their documents and files in a user-friendly manner.
iDok is an innovative document management system built using the latest open source technologies. It is a product created by the IT department of Paul Scherrer Institute, aimed at providing smart and seamless document management solutions. This software is designed to create a software package that allows storage and retrieval of documents from all major platforms with secure access to current and older versions of the document using established protocols like HTTP(S), WEBDAV(S), and CORBA.
Some outstanding features of iDok include multiple access methods via web browsers, command-line clients and graphical user interface (GUI). It also allows arbitrary types of documents to be stored with attachments of user-definable metadata to documents. iDok supports fast indexed full-text search over document content and metadata with access to older versions of documents, folder-based access permissions to users and groups of users, reserved documents for exclusive editing (locking) and automatic email notifications about changes.
iDok is different from other Document Management Systems because of the modern graphical user interface client based on Qt Jambi technology, customizable forms and schema files for guided, user-friendly attachment of metadata. It also supports Kerberos Single Sign-on without additional password dialogs in Kerberos or Windows Active Directory environments. Other unique features include user customizable visibility and layout of dockable windows, support for CORBA interface to administration and search functionality, and on-the-fly PDF conversion of images.
To run iDok, the client requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 5 or newer while the server requires a Linux operating system, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 5 or newer, Subversion 1.4, Open Office, Apache web server, and disk space for storing all revisions of all documents, their full-text index, and metadata. Deployment requires Java Development Kit (JDK) version 5 or newer and Apache Ant.
The latest release of iDok comes with numerous bug fixes and tweaks, including improved PDF preview speed and increased the number of preview files types available. Overall, iDok is a powerful and efficient Document Management System with advanced features and excellent performance that can handle high-volume document storage and retrieval needs.
