Linking files and automatic file names 7 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
We are looking for a document management system for our company.
There are some features that would be extremely useful to us:
1. Status: draft, draft-approved, approved
- When a document is draft, it can be edited and retain same version number.
- When a document is draft approved, if it is edited, it must go up by one minor iteration, say 1.1 to 1.2
- When a document is approved, it cannot be edited at all. A new major version increment is made -> 2 to 3.

2. Linking files (multilingual content) - we often have documents in different languages.
Is it possible to to have two documents/files linked that one cannot be of a higher version than the other. By that I mean, if the master/source file is in English, and it has Spanish and Russian translations, these cannot be either approved or of a higher version. They can be unapproved and lower though, as they need to be inspected and approved separately.

3. Automatic file names.
When a new file is created/uploaded, the system assigns it a name, usually numeric and sequential. The very first file to be uploaded could be 1000001.xml and so on.

Can OpneKM do this, or be tweaked to do this?

thanks

Feature 1: This is a very specific feature and needs some rework in OpenKM logic.

Feature 2: The same as previous comment.

Feature 3: This may be achieved with some minor modifications.

Thanks

I guess item 1. was a rather long winded way of saying "Does OpenKM have version control?"

As for item2, OK, it's not critical.
Item three 3 would be useful, so I guess I can look into it while we're giving OpenKm a test run.

OpenKM has version control, of course. But you need a "special version control behaviour" as you said previously. Every time you perform a check-out / check-in the document version is automatically increased and you can access any previous version of the document. You can also put a version comment. There is a online demo where you can test this feature at http://demo.openkm.com/

OK, thanks.

Now, one item at a time

It was said that automatic file naming can be done, with a bit of scripting.

Can someone point me in the direction?

Scripting is a feature of OpenKM Enterprise.
