Custom Fields

New, extremely powerful, flexible and easy to use feature. Before version 2.1 custom fields were named "metadata", however, we introduced a significant twist in the concept: instead of being assigned directly to the document, custom fields are now assigned via document types.

Path Templates

You need to decide where to place the document only once. Once decided - you never need to worry in which folder does the document X or Y belong - it will be handled automatically. Path templates are per document category.

S3 Storage Backend

You can configure S3 compatible storage for you documents. It means that you may configure Papermerge DMS to store documents on S3 storage.
