• Sophisticated but easy to use document version management using well known "check-in" and "check-out" concepts
• Powerful group and role-based security model allows for document access and action control management
• Granular and detailed auditing of all document activities

Create and collaborate on content generation

• Build sophisticated workflows that manage the generation of document and notify certain roles or groups when they are required to act
• Limit document access during the workflow process to only users who require it
• Assign automatic workflow triggers to specific document types or folders
• Link documents together allowing documents of similar concepts or subject to be easily managed as groups
• Discuss documents using built-in discussion forums
• Controlled emailing of documents held within the repository
• Document and folder subscription technology allows users to receive notifications when document actions are performed
• Save standard searches so that users of the system have access to them from the system dashboard

Map your organization to the repository's structure

• Create users, groups and roles that map your organization's structure and processes
• Manage folder permissions and assign to groups and roles
• Define Dynamic Conditions that allow document permissions to based not on hierarchical folder permissions but rather on document metadata, contents or transactional information
• Create Document Types for the different classes of documents your organization utilizes
• Define sets of metadata fields for documents and either make them generically applicable to all documents or assigned on a Document Type basis
• Metadata fields may be simple text fields or complex structures such as drop-down lists or trees
• Slice through the normally hierarchical document taxonomy by browsing documents according to the metadata fields you have created or Document Type

Integrate with your organization's authentication and authorization infrastructure

• Users and groups can be created in the internal database or from an LDAP source
• Synchronize your KnowledgeTree's group membership schema with your Microsoft ActiveDirectory infrastructure
• Multiple authentication providers can be utilized in a single server implementation

Manage the user experience

• Customizable dashboard allows you to view subscriptions, pending documents, checked-out documents, and quick links
• Easily create and manage system help content from within the application
• Define helpful saved searches accessible to all users

Flexible application architecture and easily customizable

• PHP and MySQL-based architecture ensure low barriers for developer wishing to customize and extend the application
• Portlet and dashlet concepts that allow for easy addition of enhancements to the KnowledgeTree user interface
• Easily customizable user interface templates and i18n (internationalization) schemas
• Powerful plug-in architecture that exposes core application actions and triggers and allows quick and easy extension of all system functionality including file parsers, document management, workflow, and storage and authentication providers
