LIBRARY

Turn source documents into a library people can inspect and search.

Administrators add the documents your organization relies on. Docusense prepares each file for search, keeps the original available, and lets users open the source behind a citation.

DOCUMENT PROCESSING

From uploaded file to searchable document.

The library keeps the original file and the content Docusense prepares from it. You can see where each document is in the process.

  1. 01

    Import the source

    Administrators can add PDF, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, and PPTX files by default. Docusense stores each original and queues it for processing.

  2. 02

    Prepare the document

    Docusense creates readable content, a summary, and searchable sections. The library shows the processing status and how many sections are ready.

  3. 03

    Decide what search can use

    Tags group related material. An administrator can exclude a document from cited search without removing it from the library, or reprocess the original when needed.

DOCUMENT VIEW

Look inside each document.

Open a document to read its summary and processed content, search its sections, or download the original file. The list shows status, tags, section progress, and who added it.

WHAT TO PUT IN IT

The library decides how good the suggestions are.

Docusense answers from what it can find. A question with nothing behind it in the library gets no suggestion, which is the correct behaviour and also an empty field a person has to fill. Loading the material you already have is the fastest way to change that.

Start with what already answers questions

Quality manuals, information security policies, certificates and their scope statements, standard terms, product documentation, and the responses you have sent before. These are the documents your team already opens when a questionnaire arrives.

Dense reference material works

Long and technical sources are a good fit, including material in several languages. Each document is split along its own headings and indexed section by section, so a specific clause can be found without a reviewer knowing which file it sits in.

Load it early, not gradually

Teams that import their existing material at the start get useful suggestions from the first questionnaire. Teams that wait for the content to accumulate from answered questionnaires wait considerably longer for the same result.

Keeping a superseded document in the library without letting search use it is a deliberate option. An old procedure stays available to read while it stops influencing answers. How the indexed material is then searched is covered on theretrieval page.

TENANT KNOWLEDGE

The library is shared inside one tenant.

Authenticated users in the tenant can read library documents. Administrators manage imports, tags, search inclusion, reprocessing, and deletion.

Library data is not shared, searched, or matched with another tenant. Customer assignments limit questionnaire access, while the library remains available across the tenant.
