Browse, search, preview, download, and manage documents in the Kwik Vault corpus
Documents
The Documents module is the central repository view for all ingested files. Search, filter, preview in-browser, download, and manage the document lifecycle from a single table.
Overview
Every document is identified by a unique DMS ID (system UUID) alongside its Business Key (source_tag:external_id). The table shows version, approval status, customer references, and file metadata.

Key Features
- Multi-parameter search: Search by CIF, PAN, account number, DMS ID, or file name.
- Date range filter: Preset and custom date ranges (default: last 7 years).
- Branch and department scope: Filter by branch (e.g. North Region, South Region) and department from the top bar.
- Sortable columns: Sort by date time, file name, category, status, and more.
- Row actions: Preview, download, and move to trash per document.
- Bulk selection: Checkbox column for future bulk operations.
- Document count: Live count of matching documents (e.g. "5 documents").
Document Preview
Click Preview on any row to open the in-browser document viewer with metadata and audit trail.

The preview modal includes:
| Panel | Contents |
|---|---|
| Viewer | Multi-page PDF viewer with zoom, rotation, fullscreen, print, and download controls |
| Document metadata | DMS ID, Business Key, Integrator identity, Category, Department, Created timestamp |
| Audit trail timeline | Chronological list of View, Preview, Download, and other actions with actor and timestamp |
| Actions | Delete (move to trash) and Download buttons |
Branch Filtering
Use the branch dropdown in the toolbar or top bar to narrow results to a specific branch.

Available branches are seeded per tenant during organization setup (e.g. North Region, South Region, East Region, West Region).
