Overview

DocMoto is a standards based application which can be accessed by other software applications.

WebDAV

The DocMoto server implements the WebDAV protocol, and as such can be accessed quite simply via any software framework that facilitates http requests.

The documentation we currently include uses the PERL scripting language, in particular we make use of the LWP module for making http calls.

Most other modern languages have modules or libraries that provide a similar functionality.

If you are unsure as to whether your development plans will can be catered for by DocMoto simply drop us an email to developer@chlsoftware.com

XML Meta tags

DocMoto supports user defined meta tags. These are currently defined using XML. For details see here.

Folder Scripting

DocMoto supports the creation of scripts against folders. Folder scripts are designed to automate common "set up" tasks when creating a new job, case or project. Folder scripts are currently defined using XML. For details see here.

Creating Reports

DocMoto stores its data in a standard SQL PostgreSQL database. As such any tools that can connect to an SQL database can be used to generate reports.

In the following section we detail creating reports using two commonly available software packages, the open source Neo Office, and Microsoft's Excel for Mac.
