Finder-like document management system
DocHaven is a tool that works as a 'Finder-like' Document Management System (DMS) that can expand easily from one roaming MacBook to hundreds of users.
Clicking simple icons, DocHaven users can create standard document templates, keep multiple versions, 'Take Out', 'Copy Out' and 'Put Away'. Documents are stored in Projects that can hold any number of files from any program. Users can log in over the internet and take out only those documents they have access to, with all access logged.
DocHaven can be run in one of three ways: single-user on one Macintosh, multiple-user on a MySQL server or by connecting to Holy Mackerel Software's central DocHaven server.
DocHaven has most of the capabilities of high-end Document Management Systems costing thousands of dollars, and boasts some features they do not, at a fraction of their cost. Yet the two main goals of remaining simple to use and Macintosh-like have not been compromised.

share files via Personal AppleShare, email or FTP, then read the FAQ to discover why DocHaven might be exactly what you need.
What's New in This Release:
There is now a new CRMHaven Action to 'Send eMail' in bulk to your default email client – rather than directly from CRMHaven. The email now includes a message subject as well as the recipients.
Transfers window is now operational – this allows multiple transfers to queue and run after one another. Items can be removed or reordered in the queue. No more messages asking you to wait for the current transfer to complete.
CRMHaven now can import contacts from the built-in Apple Address Book.
Right-click any file or folder within a Project to "Duplicate in sequence" allowing file versioning within DocHaven's Project versioning.
Linux support has been more thoroughly tested so it is now a recommended solution. Note: there is still no photo support and there may be a problem with moving deleted files once a project is put away.
Icons now show as full 32-bit icons.
Just in case it was not obvious – in CRMHaven double-clicking a Client opens the edit window!
New v3.0 screenshots on web site.
CRMHaven now Exports only marked clients to Excel rather than all.
There was a problem with 'Purge All' not working when the range is larger than what is on server.
Put Away would not remove the desktop Project if the FTP server was missing an old version. This has been fixed.
Take Out from My Documents didn't give a message if the zip file was missing. This has been fixed.
Documents right-click: 'Send message to Owner' now working.
Documents right-click: 'Send email to Owner' now working.
Documents right-click: 'Send email to Client' now working.
Documents right-click: 'Go to Client website' now working.
Export and Archive searching by size limits was incorrectly based on bytes rather than kilobytes. This has been fixed.
When the DocHaven application is brought to front, files and folders no longer in existence are removed from view.
The FTP Progress text now wraps and shows the total number of completed and waiting projects.
TwitHaven now checks for new messages more frequently, but increases the time interval between checking when there are no messages.
Pressing the left arrow on any file or folder closes itself or the enclosing folder.
Searching the SQL server has been optimised with large searches since only the needed fields are now returned.
The QuickLook window can now be resized and the content image will also be resized dynamically.
The Administrator can now purge just one user's Projects.
Dragging any Finder item onto the QuickLook window shows the QuickLook image for that object e.g. files, drives.
The Mouse pointer turns into hand when over a photo to show Windows users where to click when changing a user or client photo.
If multiple items are selected when Print icon is clicked all items are now printed, not just the first in the list.
Backup gave an error when trying to backup projects that had not even once been put away on the server. This has been fixed.
Backup used to ignore Projects stored in a user's local server stored in the 'My Documents' folder. Now it tries to back these up too.
Macintosh Package documents (e.g. Pages and Numbers) are described correctly in the Kind lists and not as folders. Folders with periods in the name are no longer treated like packages.
Typing the first letter of a document now jumps to it in the list, or subsequent documents starting with the same letter.
The 'Folder' descriptor has been replaced with the number of items enclosed (note this includes invisible files).
Macintosh file types are now much more accurate at describing package file types
Using QuickLook (pressing space) on systems older than MacOS X 10.5 would cause a crash. This has been fixed.
User photos added were defaulting to the smiley face. This has been fixed.
Fixed bug where older Windows PCs would quit upon FTPing.
Known issue: Old versions of Uncompressed projects with many internal folders are sometimes not fully purged from the FTP server.
