Plex Online eliminates many of the typical documents and forms by replacing them with a highly structured
and interrelated database.
Any and all document formats can be managed and controlled through the Plex Online Document Control System.
For handling typical desktop applications, we recommend Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Word, Excel,
and Powerpoint. All of these files are readily viewed with Microsoft's Internet Explorer and make it easier
to share documents across the corporation.
Document Control System 
The Document Control module provides the ability to store, edit, track and view documents on line. Includes
full electronic approval and revision tracking system ideal for ISO/TS 16949. Supports many file types, including
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, AutoCAD, PDF, HTML, and more. This module is usually used to control the Quality Manual,
Procedures and Work Instructions. It is also used for the Employee Handbook, Supplier Handbook, and Technical
Documentation.
Any and all document formats can be attached to records in the Plex Online database.
Universal Attachment System
The Attachment system allows you to attach files to records in the database. File attachments are used for
Employees, Equipment, Gages, Orders, Problem Records, Customers, and many other areas. Attachments can be in any
file type, including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and digital photographs.
Visio Integration (Flowcharts/Diagrams)
Microsoft Visio is an excellent tool for drawing flowcharts, schematics and other diagrams.
This module allows you to upload a Visio Diagram into Plex and then easily create hyperlinks from the shapes within
the diagram to various capabilities within Plex, such as other Plex modules and procedures/documents in the Document
Control System. You can also configure the shapes to drill down into other flowcharts or out to external web pages.
The fully-annotated Visio diagram is displayed to users in a simple-to-use user interface (no Visio license required).
This module is ideal for providing interactive Business Process Flow Diagrams for TS-16949; the full power of Plex
becomes available at your fingertips, directly from the flowchart itself. Auditors love it. This module is also
suitable for providing Plex-integrated interactivity to any other type of Visio diagrams.
Hosted Desktop Services
Plex customers also have the option of using our Hosted Desktop services. Instead of installing, maintaining and
upgrading Microsoft Office and other applications on each and every PC, which can become quite a burden, Plex will
host your desktop and its applications through our Data Center. This centralizes the effort, facilitates easy support,
and provides for a highly manageable, consistent, and secure computing environment. Plex hosts Microsoft Windows, Word,
Excel, Powerpoint, Visio, Project, Internet Explorer, Outlook, anti-virus software, and various other Microsoft and
non-Microsoft applications.
(Please note: Hosted Desktop is an optional service and is no way required for the Plex
Online system to function.)
