Perceptive Content (formerly known as ImageNow) assigns document keys (also called index keys) to store, secure, and retrieve documents.
There are seven standard document keys in Perceptive Content:
- Drawer
- Folder
- Tab
- Field 3
- Field 4
- Field 5
- Document Type
The Drawer document key provides the highest level within the document key structure, and it is often defined as a department or function, such as Accounts Payable, Human Resources or Financial Aid. Perceptive Content allows you to restrict individual and group access to documents by Drawer, Document Type or both. You can customize these document keys to fit your business needs.
