EDMSNext Records Request Workflow standardises how records are requested, reviewed, approved, and delivered—ensuring controlled access, full traceability, and audit-ready compliance.
EDMSNext Records Request Workflow
In regulated and enterprise environments, records requests are inevitable—from auditors, regulators, clients, internal teams, and legal stakeholders. When requests are handled through email or ad-hoc processes, organisations risk delays, unauthorised disclosure, and incomplete audit trails.
EDMSNext Records Request Workflow provides a structured, approval-driven process to manage records requests securely, consistently, and with complete visibility.
What Is a Records Request Workflow?
A records request workflow defines how records are formally requested, reviewed, approved, fulfilled, and logged—ensuring only authorised users access approved information under controlled conditions.
