Built for Quality and Controlled Document Operations
Controlled documents require more than a shared folder and naming convention. Teams need to know which version is current, who approved it, when it became effective, what changed, when it needs review, and how long it must be retained. FormKiQ helps manage controlled documents as governed records with metadata, lifecycle workflows, version control, access rules, and audit history.
Structured review and approval workflows
Current, superseded, retired, and archived versions
Owner, department, effective-date, and review-date metadata
Access control by role, team, or document attributes
Retention and disposition rules
Audit history for lifecycle and document activity
More Than a Controlled Folder
| Shared Controlled Document Folder | FormKiQ Controlled Document Management |
|---|---|
| Current version depends on filenames or folder discipline | Current, superseded, and retired versions can be managed through lifecycle states |
| Review and approval evidence may be scattered | Approvals, workflow history, and document changes can be tied to the record |
| Review dates are tracked manually | Review dates and follow-up workflows can be managed systematically |
| Access control depends mainly on folders | Access can use roles, metadata, document type, or document status |
| Audit preparation requires manual reconstruction | Activity, approvals, version history, and retention evidence can be reviewed and exported |
FormKiQ supports controlled document operations, not just file storage for SOPs and quality documents.
