Document Management

In the end, your Technical File will eventually consist of documents. Aligned Elements places an integrated Document Management system at your disposal.

Each document is carefully version controlled using the same revision mechanism as all other Design Control Items in Aligned Elements.

And best of all, any data generated in Aligned Elements can be inserted into these documents.

Your requirements, specifications, risks, and tests can easily be inserted into Word documents using drag-and-drop.

Swiftly generate documents with trace tables, risk summaries, checklists, DHF Indexes, and other rich aggregates of DHF content.

The Aligned Elements Word integration supports two-way synchronization, where the documents are updated with changes from the database or the database is updated with changes in the documents.

Aligned Elements automatically detects when the documents and database are out of synch. Any changes detected during the synchronization will optionally update the Document's version history. 

Since your Quality Management System probably already contains tried and tested document templates, why not use them in Aligned Elements?

The Word documents generated by Aligned Elements use the styling and look-and-feel from your existing document templates and permits DHF content from the database to be mixed with free text and images, getting the best out of Word.

Furthermore, Aligned Elements supports different word styles for different contexts e.g. a formal style for official documents vis à vis an informal style for internal reviews.

All documents can be signed using the FDA recommended x.509 V3 Class I certified standard flattened digital signatures.

In this manner, users can sign off on DHF documents electronically and record DHF relevant project decisions directly in Aligned Elements.
