Cabinet NG Inc. has unveiled new document management upgrades for its CNG-5.4 which include an extended set of integrated features providing key information lifecycle management (ILM) capabilities. The system is designed to help users address compliance concerns and enforce document retention policies, the company said.

CNG 5.4 now integrates key compliance features, including:

• Retention Classes - Retention classes are defined to designate a document expiration period.  Document expiration times can be set from 1 day to months and years.  The expiration date is automatically calculated based on when the document was created. A document report listing can be generated to indicate which documents have satisfied the expiration criteria set by the retention class;
  
  
• Permanent Documents - Once a document has been assigned a permanent document class, it can no longer be deleted or edited by anyone including the administrator. The document is set to permanent view only;
  
  
• Cabinet Copy - Cabinet-to-cabinet coping now supports an expanded variety of drives including: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. This also allows the client to read the cabinet information directly from the CD/DVD device in view mode; and
  
  
• Version Control - Version control can now be designated as an option. With version control enabled, each time a document is edited the user now has the option to save a new version of the document.
