New EMS - a new
EMS is provided as part of this update. It contains a number of
changes in how EMS currently works. It is much simpler to setup
and to use. With the release of R5, the new EMS will become the
fully supported EMS. Customers should switch to the new EMS as
soon as feasible. We will continue to answer questions for the
current EMS, but no changes to the software will be made. If an
issue using the current EMS cannot be resolved, using the new EMS will
be the only solution. The current EMS will not be available or
supported at all after June 30, 2009. See

The
Direct Document Open
functionality requires you to work a little differently as described
below: 1. When you open a document from a List View page, the page no longer
switches to the Profile page. Now the document opens directly and the
page underneath stays the same. 2. After you close the document, you will return directly to the List
View page where you started. 3. You must then click the red
Check In
button to complete the document check in - otherwise your changes will
not be uploaded and the document will be left checked out.
Alternatively, you can right click on the Active List in your Windows
tray and select Close to check in the
document. 4. If you navigate to another page or select an option on the List View
page and do NOT click the red
Check In button, the document will remain in the Active List and
your changes will not be uploaded until you check it in from the Active
List. (The document will continue to have the black check box next to
the name indicating that it is checked out, but it will not have the red
Check In button if you navigate away from
the List View page.
Basic rule = After closing your document,
check it in by clicking the new red Check In button OR right
click on the Active List in the tray and select Close to check it in. (Your organization may be using an Application Integration utility that
automatically checks the document in for you after you close it.
If you do not see the red Check in button or the black checked out icon
next to the document name, then you will not need to follow the steps
above.)

contents are modified, the popup notification dialog will be eliminated. The
Notify Others button will appear instead in the top right corner of the
NetBinder, so a user can click it to notify recipients of changes. This
change creates a distinct difference between the Notification and Alert
functions. When a Notification is sent, everyone on the list will be sent
the N notification. The Notifications will now work the same as on a
stand-alone document. Senders can include a custom message in a Notification
email.
When an Alert is setup by a recipient on a NetBinder, that recipient can
define the Alert to be received for certain documents and editors in the
NetBinder. NOTE: Alerts are available only on NetBinders. Stand-alone
documents and other objects outside of NetBinders, do not have the Alert
feature.
Notifications are now initiated by the Sender and Alerts are initiated by
the Recipients. If a sender sends a Notification and a recipient defines an
Alert, the recipient will get both messages. The Notification will always be
sent to the Email address in My Account for all users. An Alert can be setup
to be received at one or more email accounts, cell-phone email address, etc.
as defined by the recipient on each NetBinder.
All existing NetBinders will have an Alert defined. If you want to eliminate
the Alert on a specific NetBinder, open the NetBinder, then select the Edit
Alerts option and select the Delete option. You will then only get a
message, when the Sender chooses to send a Notification message.

a date as a custom profile field. This feature is only available for the
Enterprise service level.
Updated February 25, 2002

client. Calendar events can be created independent of documents or can be
related to documents using the Custom Profile capability. It also provides a
consolidated calendar view for each user. All of the calendar feature is
protected using the same security as documents at the individual or group
level. This feature is only available for the Enterprise service level.
Cabinet Admin Link - the Cabinet Admin link which is currently located on
the Browse Cabinet page following the cabinet name, has been moved to the
Cabinet Info page which is also displayed following the cabinet name. If a
person is a Cabinet Admin, the Info link will have an asterisk. To access
the Cabinet Administrators page, click the "Info" link, then select the
"Admin" link next to the Cabinet Information page heading. The purpose of
this change is to improve the display of the Browse Cabinets page for
Administrators.
Browse Cabinets page links - for Corporate Account names and Cabinet names,
if you click the name, it will now expand the same as if you click the
"plus" symbol.
My Profile - is being changed to "My Account" to help avoid confusion with
the document profile terminology.
Designate required custom fields - if you have the Enterprise service and
are using the custom profile fields feature, any field that you designate as
required will be flagged with an asterisk on the Edit Profile page. This
change is to streamline the profile creation process.
Notification Attachment Links are replaced with regular inline links - For
all notifications and alert email messages, the attachment link will be
eliminated and the link to the documents, NetBinder, or NetEnvelope will be
via a link within the body of the email message. This change was made for
ease of use and functionality.
Updated February 1, 2002
Discussion feature - introduced which allows users to create discussions
independent from documents with all of the security available for documents.
This is a feature only available for the Enterprise level service. Sometime
later in February, we will also introduce a new Comment or Note feature that
will provide unlimited commenting capability at the document level. This
feature is available through the Customized Profile feature for Enterprise
customers.
Add Item - the "Add Document" option was replaced with an "Add Item"
dropdown menu to provide a quicker access to the various methods to load
documents into the system which will now include Calendar and Discussion
items.
Folder Email Address - added an option which shows the unique email address
associated with a specific folder. This address can be used to forward
emails and attachments, directly into a specific folder in NetDocuments.
Grayed Out Options - when an option is not valid on a specific page, that
option is now "grayed out" to help convey that it is not a valid option for
the page being displayed. When selected, an explanation is given as to why
it is not valid.
Other User Interface changes - a number of other improvements to the User
Interface which should not require training are also released, including
returning to the same location when you expand a folder in Browse Cabinets,
instead of returning to the top of the page.
Receiving Product and Marketing Information - when a user is registered from
within the Corporate Account Administrator's page, the option for that user
to receive mailings from NetDocuments, is not checked. If the individual
user wants to receive mailings which include the NetDocuments Newsletter,
the user can change the flag in My Accounts. This change was made in an
effort to help position the service for professionals and not use it for
marketing purposes. We value our customers and strive to treat you in a
manner consistent with that goal.
