Snapshots are copies of indexed documents made before or after new changes are saved. They are used to keep a "revision" history of a document. Document types can be configured by Administrators; snapshots are Manual, Prompted or Automatic.
▪If the Administrator selected Manual (this is the Sage Paperless Construction system default), the Processor must manually click Take Snapshot to take a snapshot of the document currently being viewed.
▪If the Administrator selected Prompt, the Processor will be prompted each time an alerted document is saved. The user must respond with either Yes or No.
▪If the Administrator selected Automatic, no intervention is required. Sage Paperless Construction will systematically take a snapshot every time an altered document is saved.
