Object Attachments – An overview

Typically, Aviation business like any other engineering business/industry generates documents such as task cards, agreements, contracts, work orders, engineering orders and diagrams, invoices, etc. during daily tasks/transactions. These documents become crucial means of reference at a later point of time as they hold vital information required for the continuity of the very transactions/business that created them in the past. Hence, the management of these crucial documents becomes a critical requirement impacting the effectiveness of the business.

The RAMCO Aviation application provides a facility for seamless management of these documents to ensure their storage and availability at any point of time. The document management system christened ‘Object Attachments” enables users to store, maintain, print, retrieve and archive documents associated with any business process in the entire Ramco Aviation application. The Object Attachments supports documents in a range of formats including pdf, doc, xls, ppt, jpeg, etc.

Business entities/documents have a multitude of information associated to them. While information systems attempt to capture the key details as data attributes of entities/documents, there exists sizeable pieces of information, which are textual/graphical in nature but provide important decision making inputs. Such information is typically converted into digital format and stored along-with the entity as additional “attachments” for reference.

These digital objects are stored in a central repository (typically a file storage device) on upload. You can define the destination path/folder and the maximum size of a file that can be stored in the destination folder for an organization unit and business component combination. You can upload a single file or multiple files that are sourced from a local disk or Intranet.
