ActiveFiler

ActiveFiler, latest version 4.153, developed by Awgar Stone Limited, is an Office Tools program designed for document management. It is compatible with Windows 7 and provides robust features suitable for IT administrators. The program excels in compiling file paths and includes advanced automatic document management features, which can be directly integrated with Microsoft Word and Excel. Also, ActiveFiler organizes files as they appear in designated folders, making it an excellent tool for managing scanner image files automatically.

One of the prominent features of ActiveFiler is the ability to read data from various sources. This includes manual entry by the user, selection from a list, text files, data files, and document properties within Word. It can also read from the date and time, inside PDFs and unique IDs. These sources can be used as elements of a folder or file name within a file path. Notably, values can be manipulated, tested, and even prompt messages for users. The file paths can be built using conditional logic, and all these operations are performed through a visual interface, eliminating the need for scripting.
