Others enable consistency and save their users time by providing templates with <strong>boilerplate <\/strong>content and managing <strong>metadata<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Your documents are consistent and accurate. As a result, your users save time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full control over the process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teamcenter document management is a set of building blocks. So you choose which features to use and when to use them, depending on each document type.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Template management<\/strong> &#8211; organize by document type, not format. Manage the file template and the business object. It includes naming rules, workflow application, to keep consistent behavior, look and feel.<br><\/li><li><strong>Automated rendering<\/strong> &#8211; make sure users can view all documents even if they don&#8217;t have the native applications<br><\/li><li><strong>Attribute exchange<\/strong> &#8211; save your users time entering data. Teamcenter keeps document status and properties up-to-date. Inherit part information in content by creating a relationship to a BOM node.<br><\/li><li><strong>Digital signatures<\/strong> &#8211; ensure critical documents haven&#8217;t been modified since their release and approval. Sign PDFs digitally!<br><\/li><li><strong>Managed markup<\/strong> &#8211; annotate PDFs with text, highlights, and geometrics. Add GD&amp;T and weld symbols to drawings. Retain disposition reports to track document development, when you need to retain historical records.<br><\/li><li><strong>Print stamps and watermarks. <\/strong> Meet legal and process requirements with the correct distribution statements for each document type. Add specific content or logos, depending on the customer or project. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Teamcenter can help you manage your critical business documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size\">We include sample documents designed to help you understand and <strong>deploy quickly<\/strong>.<br>These documents are included with every release!
