Did You Know: CAMAvision

By: Terri Scheuermann

Did you know CAMAvision now has a Document Management and Storage capability? With the ProVersion and PhotoVision modules this ability is at your fingertips. DMS extends the file types that can be stored within a parcel essentially turning it into a document and file storage repository for all your parcel data.

Almost any file type can be added into DMS including Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDF documents or any other document type that’s not an image. Always be mindful that space is limited and an increase in database size into the tens of GB range will result in backups taking longer to execute.

Another consideration is that the DMS is simply a storage facility of attached docs and it cannot open or edit the documents. Whatever type of file attached, the appropriate program to view or edit that document must also be installed. So if a Word document is stored/linked then Word must be installed and an Excel spreadsheet is stored/linked the Excel must be installed. There is an ability to add a document and set it to private if need be.

Documents/links may be viewed from the parcel PhotoVision tab and also from the DMS tab on the parcel search screen.
