Documents

Organize your decisions using a document management system.

Document management system allows you to organize your decisions and files using folders, similarly to how you would on your desktop. Documents may be deleted and restored using the Bin functionality.

There are two types of documents:

  • Directories - Organisational, may contain child documents
  • Decision files - Decision model files
