TouchBase-Vault support all file formats such as word, excel, etc. It also supports all CAD formats like SolidWorks, pro/engineer, solidedge, Catia, inventor, AutoCAD etc. 

TouchBase-Vault  provides the functionalities, such as CheckOut, CheckIn and Undo CheckOut. Users can reserve the document for editing. Single CheckOut ensures that the document is not edited by more than one user.

TouchBase-Vault supports extensive revision and version management. Users can create any number for versions for a document. All the versions are stored and can be retrieved on demand. Once the document is ready, it can released either manually or document release workflow. All the earlier versions can be deleted for optimizing storage space.

TouchBase-Vault is integrated with TouchBase-Workflow. A document in TouchBase-Vault can be released using a company defined workflow. This ensures that every document is released after the pre-defined process. Sign Off history and signatures are captured for online document management.

TouchBase-Vault lets you create labels and tag documents with the labels. You can retrieve the documents based on a label. This is a simple and yet very powerful way to maintain control over your documents.

TouchBase-Vault supports hierarchical and user defined relationship among documents. This is extremely important in cases, where one document depends on the other. Any change in one document can initiate change in other dependent documents. CAD assemblies are prime examples of hierarchical relationships.

Consider a case where you need to cross reference a document from one project into another. Or imagine some manuals software and some standards documents that are referenced in each and every project.  It would make no sense to create multiple copies of the same document for every project. Such a process would not only consume more storage but any change in such a document would require that the document be replaced at each location. TouchBase-Vault provides an easy and elegant solution. It allows you to keep the documents at a common location and then reference those documents in your project from that location. You can also cross reference one document from one project to another.

Consider a case where a design engineer has to upload tens of drawings for a project. If he has to add them one by one, then it would consume a lot of his time and the process will not be efficient. The job would become more difficult if those drawings are organized in folders and he has to replicate the folder structure in TouchBase-Vault manually. TouchBase-Vault provides Folder Upload feature which allows you to upload the entire folder structure from your workstation at a click on a button.

TouchBase-Vault allows you to classify  your project documents using folders. This is exactly the same as you would do in your workstation. You can specify permissions on each folder.

TouchBase-Vault provides complete access control for documents and folders. You can specify permissions for all project documents and folders.  You can specify view, edit and delete permissions for each folder and document within that folder.

TouchBase-Vault is designed to provide fast, secure and scalable document management. It uses the compression and encryption techniques to reduce the document transportation time and enhance the storage security. The system can scale to any size and handle any number of documents.
