 Enterprise  Community

Why this app?

✅ Email notifications to employees on upload; optional document preview.

✅ Search, filter and group by year/month/type for faster retrieval.

Quick setup

1 Install the module 2 Assign Employee Document Admin group to HR managers 3 Configure email template (optional) 4 Start uploading & sharing securely

✅ Access control: Admins vs. Employee self-service (My Documents)

✅ Email notifications on upload (configurable template)

✅ Preview button (optional)

Before vs After

Before

Scattered files across drives and inboxes → delays, duplicates, compliance risk.

After

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.
