Quick answer

The Documents module in Easedesk lets you manage business documents. Folder hierarchy, version control, and expiry alerts — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs.

What is the Documents module?

The Documents module in Easedesk ERP is built for Indian businesses that need to manage business documents without juggling spreadsheets or stitching together multiple tools. It is part of Easedesk's 50+ module unified platform.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults — INR currency, April–March fiscal year, GST-aware pricing, and Indian compliance.

Key features

Documents ships with the following capabilities:

  • Folder hierarchy
  • Version control
  • Expiry alerts
  • Module linking

Who should use it?

Teams that business documents regularly will get the most value. Common users include support agents, customer success and helpdesk teams.

Why teams choose Easedesk for this

Compared to standalone tools, Easedesk's Documents module gives you:

  • Statutory-doc safety
  • Searchable archive
  • Sharing controls

Permissions required

Access to Documents is controlled by the Easedesk RBAC system. By default, the predefined roles that include access are typically Admin, Admin and the Viewer role (read-only). Owners can edit role permissions in Settings → Users & Roles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Documents module do in Easedesk?
It lets you manage business documents from a single place inside Easedesk, with Indian-format defaults (INR, GST, April fiscal year) and audit-grade history.
Is Documents included in my Easedesk plan?
Documents is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for what your plan covers.
Who can access Documents?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; module-specific predefined roles (e.g. HR Manager for HR, Accountant for Finance) grant scoped access. You can customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Documents be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does Documents data come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV, ingested through the Easedesk API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted).
