Welcome

Welcome to the INTEGRRA User Guide. The purpose of this manual is to familiarize users with the functions and features of the document and task management system in detail.   The information in this section is intended for users who administer the system and whose role in the system is "administrator" (if you do not administer the system and have a role other than "administrator", you can skip this section). You will most likely be working with the Integra document management system for the first time, so we highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the information provided in this section. The Integra team recommends starting fresh with the system using the methodology we have provided.   In order to start working successfully and add all the desired employees to your company account, you need to follow certain steps and create in the system in order:
  1. Divisions.
  2. User duties.
  3. Add new users.
  4. Registries and correctly configure their settings.
  5. Registers' cases and correctly configure their settings (creating registers' cases is not mandatory in order to start successfully working with Integra).
Divisions - Let's start with creating divisions. It is not of great importance if you create divisions or user duties first, but this must be done before creating new users. When creating a new user, he is assigned to already created divisions and duties. If you have not created any division or user duties, then you will not be able to assign them to a new user and create a user account.   User Duties - If you have successfully created divisions, you can continue and create duties. As already mentioned, duties will be assigned when creating a new user. Since duties in the system do not grant rights in the way that "roles" do, you can create all the relevant duties occupied by the future users of the system, i.e. your employees. The number of duties is not limited, so you can create as many different duties as you need.   New users - Since you have already created duties and divisions, you can continue to add colleagues by creating new users for them. You can add anyone who has a working email to your company's Integra account, even if it's someone outside of your workplace. When creating a new user, be very careful to assign him a system role, because it will depend on which functionalities of the company account the created user will be able to access. After creating a new user, and if necessary, you can always remove it from the system. This means that the person will no longer have access to your company account and all documents, but the documents created by that user will remain in your company account.   Registries - they are one of the most important parts of a company setup. In order to successfully work with the system, it is very important to master and understand register settings and their nuances, because in registers we can assign users access to certain documents, store all documents, assign various files and perform other important functions. In order to facilitate the creation of registries, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the detailed instructions for creating registries and functionalities, where you will find all the information you need. We strongly advise you to read it carefully and thoroughly. It is important to note that the Integra team provides only standard recommendations for creating registries, as each company and institution must follow its own internal registries or documentation plan (or other internal instructions) when creating registries in its Integra company account. Cases - The next stage is the creation of cases. This stage is not mandatory in order to use the system, but it may be mandatory according to the existing requirements in your company’s documentation plan. When creating cases, we also advise you to read the extensive instructions for creating cases and their settings functionality, further in this user manual.
If you already have created registers in your company account and most or at least part of the employees are added to the system, you can start work and create or register documents, perform other functions. Before starting to work with the system, it is important to master the most relevant functions of the system, which are usually slightly different for each employee according to their system role. The Integra team recommends familiarizing yourself with the instructions below, which will help every employee to understand the system's functions faster and easier and to work successfully with the system:
  • Register a document - link to the instruction.
  • Create a document - link to instructions.
  • Create a task - link to instructions.
  • Document search - link to instructions.
Make sure you are logged in to your company account! It often happens that users do not see documents by mistake, i.e. such users are not logged in to the company account, but enter the "Mano Integra" account. If you don't see the documents, be sure to check that you are not logged in to your "Mano Integra" account by mistake. Below is the image we see connected to my Integra. If you want to see your company's documents again, just click on the company's account name. You or employees cannot see the documents in the system. You are correctly logged in to your company account, but still do not see the documents you want to see? A common question faced by customers. The answer is quite simple - be sure to check and ask a colleague with an administrator role to add you to the appropriate registry settings that contain the necessary documents. Depending on whether you want to search for documents or whether you want to create and register documents in a specific register, the administrator must add you to the following points:
  • Individuals, divisions that see the registry;
  • Individuals, divisions conducting a search in registry.
If you are not added to the first setting in the alleged register, you will not be able to create or register documents. Regarding the second setting - you will not be able to conduct document search in the alleged registry. You can find more information about registry settings and these points in the Integra user manual or by clicking on this link - link to registry settings.
In order to create a new register and to see existing company registers and edit their settings, it is recommended to follow the sequence of clicks in the screenshot below. After making the selections shown, you will be able to create a new registry. Below you will find a step-by-step guide to registry settings so you can successfully create a new registry and know what each registry setting means. We emphasize that only users with the administrator role can create registries and edit existing settings. After clicking on the item marked with the fourth number "Create a register", the following window will open: Register full name - enter the full name of the registry, which will be visible when creating or registering a new document, as well as in the document card and search. Register type - you can choose from three register types: outgoing, incoming and internal. It is up to you to decide which documents will be placed in this registry, so select the appropriate type of registry. After choosing the type Incoming - you can use the Create a document function and sign it with internal or by eSignature. After selecting the type Outgoing, you can select the Register a document function and sign the registration with internal or by eSigniture. By selecting the type Internal - you will be able to use functions Create a document and Register a document and sign it with internal or eSigniture. Only eSigned document's register? - After activating this setting, the system will allow creating exclusively eSigned documents in the registry. If you do not activate this setting, in the registry before creating a document, you can choose which signature will be used to sign the document that you are creating. Click on the red defined "Additional settings" box to open additional registry settings. This step is necessary to fully create the registry. Individuals, divisions that see the registry - users who will be added to this point will be able to see and select the registry when creating or registering a new document. The essence of this and the next point is the granting of rights and access to the created registry to selected users. People who are not added will not be able to see the registry when creating or registering new documents. If no person is added in this setting, by default, this registry is available to create and register documents for all registered users of the company. Individuals, divisions conducting a search in registry - works similarly to the setting above. In order for users to be able to browse the documents of this register and find them through search, they should be added to this point. As in the previous setting, if no user is added to this parameter, by default, all registered users can search for documents in this registry. Registry short name - we recommend that you enter the same name as the registry's full name, which you filled in at the very beginning, or for convenience, enter a registry name abbreviation. Registry number - indicates the registry’s number, otherwise known as the document abbreviation, which will be visible in the system and in the documents when you register them. As an example, if you have a register called "Invoices", its number could be INV1 or simply INV. Everything depends on the internal procedure of the company or institution. After registering a document in this register, it would receive a number INV (its series number in the registry). Type - this is the division of registries into blocks of types, to which, after assigning a registry, it will be displayed in a structured list during search and selection when creating a new document. Document's term in days - when creating a new document, you can always choose a document deadline. When you select a term using this registry feature, it will appear by default in every document that is created in this registry. State after creation - when a new document is created, the status of the document is automatically determined in this registry. You can choose the desired status after creating the document in this registry. If you will use the register for documents that require a signature or visa, we recommend leaving the status "Project". If the documents do not need to be handed over for signature or visa, select the status "Waiting for registration". If the status "Registered" is selected, the created document will be automatically registered, and if the status "Done" is selected, after it is created, it will already be read as fully completed. State after registration - after registering a new document in this registry, the status of the document is automatically determined. You can choose the desired status after registering the document in this registry. We recommend leaving the status "Registered" if you want the document to go to the recipient's jobs main page. If the status "Done" is selected, the document will not be sent to the recipient's jobs main page, but will be available through the system search. Secretary - an option to specify the secretary of the document. The document secretary performs the function of document registration, i.e. if the register is of the internal or outgoing type, after signing, the document will go to the secretary’s jobs main page, if one is specified. If the secretary is not specified, the creator of the document will be responsible for registering the document in the registry. Last number of the document - you can enter the selected number, from which the numbering of the document will continue, i.e. if you have started working with the system since the middle of the year, but you already have 50 documents registered in the paper version, and you do not want to bring them into the system, but to continue further document registration and creation in the system, then you should enter the last number - 50. The next document to be created will be 51. Registry template - template on which the document number is created. By default it is set to show $JOURNAL-$NR ($JOURNAL - Register number, $NR - Document series number). It is possible to supplement the desired rendering with several more functions such as: -$YEAR - Shows the year the document was created, -$MONTH - Shows the month of creation of the document, -$DAY - Shows the date of creation of the document. You can choose as many displayed formats as you want. Important - there must be no space after writing each function, they must be separated by a hyphen "-". For example, if you want the document to be displayed with all optional functions, then you need to write "$JOURNAL-$NR-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY" (without quotes). Recipient(s) by default - option to specify the default recipients of the document. When creating or registering a document in this registry, you will automatically see all entered recipients in the "Recipient" field using this function. Sender(s) by default - option to specify the default senders of the document. When creating or registering a document in this registry, you will automatically see all entered recipients in the "Sender" field using this function. Approver(s) by default - Option to specify default approvers/endorsers for internal or outgoing documents. The same principle of operation as the functions mentioned above. It is important to note that ONLY users registered in the company account can be visa approvers. Signatories by default – Option to specify default signatories for internal or outgoing documents. The same principle of operation as the functions mentioned above. Integration code - filled in when integrating with other external systems. Filling in this field is intended only for employees of UAB Idamas, so we highly recommend leaving it blank. Secret? - possibility to indicate that the confidentiality mark will always be applied when creating a document. This means that the media and information contained in the document card will be visible only to those users who have the rights to see them (i.e. are participants in the document management) after opening the document card. If you do not have the specific rights and are not a participant of the document management when you try to open the document card, you will notice a message that the content of the document is confidential. Is versioning of the documents used? – when editing a document, new versions of the documents will be created, where changes to the original document can be seen. For example, if you edit a document 5 times, the system will create 6 different versions of the document, which will show all the edits and who made them. If the setting is unchecked, all edits will be overwritten onto the original document. Allow to register retroactively ? - possibility to register documents retroactively in this registry. Is numbering continued after the end of the year? - possibility to continue or to restart document numbering in this registry after the end of the year. Is used? - the ability to indicate whether the registry is currently in use or not. If this setting is not checked, the register will not be among the selectable registers before creating the document. It is recommended to use this function so that you do not delete unnecessary registries, you can simply make it unused and make it usable again if necessary. Allow creation without any attachments ? - the ability to create a document without attaching file media. We do not recommend enabling this feature, as users occasionally create a document without media without even intending to, as a message that media is not attached is not displayed when creating a document. Assign cases - possibility to assign cases to the registry. When creating or registering a new document in the registry, it is possible to split the registry into different cases, where the files will be stored.
In order to create a new case and view existing case, we recommend following the sequence of clicks in the screenshot below. After making the selections shown, you will be able to create a new case. Below you will find a step-by-step guide to case settings that will help you successfully create a new case and explain what each registry’s case setting means. When creating cases, you can immediately assign them to already existing registries. The essence of cases is the ability to divide one register into several cases. If the register is divided into cases, if it is selected when creating or registering a new document, it will always be necessary to indicate the case of the register. After clicking on the item marked with the fourth number "Create a new case", a form for filling in the settings of the new case being created will open. Settings in the form and their meaning: Case – the visible name of the case that will appear in documents, registries, searches, etc. Belongs to registers - in this setting, you can assign the creation to the desired registry. One case can belong to an unlimited number of registries. Case number - the case number is indicated, which is included when creating the number of the document to be registered. If the case is added to the register with the number SF1 and the case number is 25, then when registering the document in the register with the following serial number of the registered document is 87, the full document numbering may look like this - SF1-25-87. Removal from the archive in years - select the number after which case documents will be removed from the archive. You can choose from 1 to 25 years. Next, click on the item "Advanced settings" to continue the case creation process. Selected by default? - check this section if you want the case in the registers to be automatically selected when creating or registering a new document, and you don't have to do it manually every time. Document's term in days - By entering the number of days in this setting, you will select how long the default due date will be for all documents when they are created in this case. Archiving time in years - select the number after how many years the case documents will be transferred to the archive. Retention period - choose how long the files will be stored in the system. You can choose permanent storage or specific number of years. Legislation - if your company has assigned legal acts according to which the cases are described, you can mark that number right here. Activity - this is the division of cases into activities/types, so the case should be assigned to one of the already created types. Notes - you can mark notes related to the case or the information you need. Available in the dossier plan supplement - mark if you have a case under development described in the supplement to the documentation plan. People, divisions that can see the case - same as in the registers, users who will be added to this setting will be able to see the case in the register when creating or registering a new document. People who are not added will not be able to see the file when creating or registering new documents. Allow selection when creating/registering a document? - after removing the check mark, when creating or registering a document in the case register, you will not see this case as an option (the case will be inactive). It is necessary to check the box to see the case in the registry as an option to create or register documents. Administrative unit - select the division that will administer the case. This means that the selected unit will be designated as responsible for the documents that will be registered in the case being created.
