Records registry

The institution's general incoming/outgoing register and its special registers.

The Records registry module maintains a single electronic record of every document registered across the institution — the general incoming/outgoing register and the special registers — whatever channel the document arrived through: the counter, e-mail, the portal or the kiosk. Documents produced by the workflows of any module are registered automatically, with the number and the date assigned, without the operator doing anything.

 
The general incoming/outgoing register in the Smart Digital City platform

The general incoming/outgoing register: automatic numbering, allocation to departments and deadlines.

What changes in the flow of documents

No document is lost and no deadline expires unnoticed: every entry has a unique number, a responsible department and an automatically calculated deadline, and overruns are flagged in advance.

More than 39 special registers in productionDefined from the interface, with no work in the code
Documents from workflows number themselvesWithout the operator doing anything
Statutory deadlines are calculated automaticallyWith a notification to the responsible department

What you can do

A single record of every document in the institution, whatever channel it arrives through.

General register

Incoming and outgoing, with automatic numbering configurable by year and prefix.

Unlimited special registers

Decisions, council resolutions, minutes, freedom-of-information requests and others, defined from the administration interface.

Automatic registration

Documents produced by the workflows of any module receive incoming and outgoing numbers without manual intervention.

Manual registration

With file upload, document type, number of pages, departments for allocation and a response deadline.

Allocation

To one or more departments, with a notification in the platform and by e-mail, and the date it was sent.

Import from external registers

For continuity of the record, with fields pre-filled by OCR from scanned documents.

Dispatch lists and files

A dispatch-list number for documents sent together, and a “Documents with this number” section.

Ad-hoc workflows

Started on any entry made outside a structured workflow.

See all features
  • New registers configured from the administration interface: fields, numbering rules, prefix, starting number and rights by department
  • Life-cycle states: registered, allocated, in progress, in an ad-hoc workflow, completed, filed or archived
  • External, internal and ad-hoc workflows, with approvers defined when the workflow starts, with no software development
  • Internal activities with an owner, a deadline and a status, allocated to workflow steps
  • Colour coding by status: green for processing, orange for clarifications, red for rejection
  • Delegation of responsibilities to a substitute, who takes over the rights for the duration of the absence
  • A downloadable audit report for every application, with all the steps, the people responsible and the actions

Native integrations

The records registry is the component every other module rests on.

All platform modules, whose documents are registered automatically in the corresponding registers
Document management, for versioning and electronic signing
The notifications component, for deadlines and allocations
OCR scanning, to pre-fill fields from physical documents

Part of the same platform

The records registry is part of the base package, together with the workflows and the documents. It is not bought separately for each department: there is one, for the whole institution.

How you can start

You do not have to digitise the whole institution at once.

START ONE

The records registry is part of the base package — it is the starting point of any implementation.

START PRO + RECORDS REGISTRY

The specialist modules are added on top, registering their documents automatically in the corresponding registers.
