Why this app?

Before vs After

Before

One secure place in Odoo → consistent naming, quick retrieval, clean audit trail.

FAQ

Can employees see other users’ documents?

No. Regular users only see their own documents under My Documents. Admins (with proper rights) see all.

Is the filename generated automatically?

Yes. The filename follows the pattern EmployeeName_Type_Year_Month.pdf for consistency and traceability.

Can we customize document types and notifications?

Yes. You can add document types and adjust the email template from settings.
