Overview
SmartSimple provides features that allow for keyword searching of documents stored within the system.
Documents can be stored and searched in the following areas:
- Custom Field types - Link - Single Field, Link - Multiple Files.
- Resume (CV) field - within the Applicant Tracking sub-system.
- Smart Folder - files can be searched by name, size and modified date only - no file contents.
