PDMLynx supports up to twenty user-defined document groups, each supporting up to eight program types.  As part of initial configuration, each document type is defined, along with the application required to create and edit it.  These documents can be attached to any part number and maintained under PDMLynx control.

Any user with the required application on their workstation and the correct level of PDMLynx authority can view or edit these documents within the PDMLynx document control processes.
