Serengeti includes an integrated document management
module that is designed to complement the matter management
functionality in the system. For example, on a litigated matter, both
company and firm users can store electronic copies of complaints,
deposition transcripts, pleadings, etc.
Go beyond storing documents in matters
The document management module can also be used independent
of legal matters as a contract management database, deal room, or
form file. For this reason, it is important to think of the document
management functionality as it relates to both storing matter-related documents and managing important stand-alone files (e.g.
contracts, forms, service of process records, etc.).
Document Management Features
- Store one or more electronic copies of documents in any file format directly in
Serengeti or link to a network, URL, or third-party document management system
- Record general header information about each document (e.g. author, description, type etc.)
- Attach related files or addenda to a document and choose to show or hide it in the main document view
- Associate dates with a document (including email reminders and a person responsible)
- Group documents into customizable folders within a matter
- Move documents from one matter to another with a single click
- Set access security on a document
- "Lock" the document so that it cannot be replaced
- Send a "Request for Review" that generates a Dashboard alert and optional email to team members who need to review
or comment on the document
- Globally search for documents and their related metadata across all matters
- Build custom document views and save them for re-use
- Export a spreadsheet of document profile information for a group of documents
