OpenText has added several new features and improvements to eDocs with the current update.

eDocs version 16 uses a metadata approach with a more powerful search engine to improve accuracy and speed. Previously, search for content would require separate searches of email and content within the eDocs library. Now a search can be performed of the outlook mailbox and eDocs library from the outlook search ribbon.

Flex folders are folders that allow the user to view content based on user preferences and re-inherit security and metadata when moving documents between folders. This allows for security to remain intact in dynamic data storage situations. Metadata security allows for the instant changing of permissions and access to any document, further enhancing the already excellent security in place.
