Document Management

Overview

Enterprise document management system schema for organizations that need structured document storage, version control, and compliance workflows. Supports granular access control, multi-step approvals, and complete audit trails.

Key Design Decisions

• Version Control: Full version history with rollback capability and change summaries
• Granular ACLs: Folder and document-level permissions with group inheritance
• Approval Workflows: Configurable multi-step approval chains with sequential/parallel routing
• Audit Trail: Complete log of all document access, modifications, and sharing events

Tables

10-14 tables covering folders, documents, document versions, document types, access permissions, permission groups, approval workflows, workflow steps, workflow actions, tags, document tags, and audit logs.
