Web-based document management
ImageSite can store and manage any electronic file type. As files are uploaded into ImageSite, a copy of each unconverted native file is stored in compressed format in the repository. Each file is managed within ImageSite according to version rules, attribute assignments, and other ImageSite document management features. Depending on access privileges, each file is also available for check-out/download/check-in and distribution.
Web-based document viewing
ImageSite includes an integrated, high-performance viewer for web browser-based viewing of documents. ImageSite supports web-browser based viewing and markup of most raster file types, including TIF, IMR, IMT, CALS, BMP, GIF, and JPG. ImageSite also supports web-browser based viewing and markup of MS Office, and Adobe Acrobat files by conversion of these file types to SVG, TIF, or JPG format.
With ImageSite CAD Connectors, ImageSite supports web-browser based viewing and markup of CAD/vector and PostScript file types. Any file type that can be viewed in the ImageSite viewer is also supported for markup, collaboration, and server-side printing. Any file type that is not supported for viewing in the ImageSite viewer is automatically downloaded and opened for viewing in its native application, depending on administrator settings.

MicroStation
How are they handled for the ImageSite viewer?
MicroStation V8 files are uploaded as APFSED files to the ImageSite server, created in metafile format on the client computer, updated on the ImageSite server to include the metafile, then rendered from metafile to SVG format on the ImageSite server. MSV8 must be installed on the client computer for metafile creation to occur. Otherwise, if the Enable client-side rendering option is not set to OFF on your Settings page, the files are placed in an ImageSite render queue to await metafile creation on a client computer where MSV8 is installed. Bulk upload of DGN V8 files to standard projects is not supported. V8 DGNs are rendered to Design Range. V8 PRFs are rendered as specified in the PRF. Excel attachments to the main file are ignored.
MicroStation V7 files are rendered to SVG format on the ImageSite server for display in the ImageSite viewer. MicroStation V7 must be installed on the ImageSite server before ImageSite is installed for rendering to occur.
Note: How CAD document references are handled depends on whether you are working in a standard or workspace project.

Standard Projects Note: For file types that are converted on upload to SVG format, you can change the conversion format by checking Upload as Digital Plot on your Settings page, so the documents are converted to monochrome TIFF format. The result is a print-like display, rather than a CAD-like display with layering and reference control. You can also select color or gray scale, rather than monochrome. For more information on how the Color and Gray options work during upload, see the Parameters forms in ImageSite.

Additional EDMS Features
The eQuorum Customer Promise
In 2005, eQuorum developed the first all browser-based EDMS. The system, although for on-premise use, was still created to remove client software and JAVA from user computers and allow users to have a single viewer based on the simple navigation functionality of browsers. Today, eQuorum provides that same application in a private Cloud or a SaaS Cloud option. We can do this because we are, and have always been, browser-based, understanding the enhanced speed, security, and usability of this technology.
With the abundance of document management systems on the market today, there’s no doubt that choosing the right Cloud document management software can be a difficult decision. eQuorum is here to provide a comprehensive, powerful, and most importantly – affordable Cloud document management solution. We believe in providing real value to our customers by eliminating unnecessary costs, providing industry-leading functionality, and equipping your team with the right tools using cutting edge technology to bring your products to market faster.
