// MODULE: MANUAL LIBRARY

Centralize Documents, Guides, and Reference Materials

The Manual Library module transforms scattered PDFs, images, and documents into a unified, searchable repository. Attach repair guides, compliance policies, equipment specs, or training materials directly to relevant records—so teams always have the right information at their fingertips.

Core Features

• Document Upload & Classification: Store PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and images—indexed by asset attributes (manufacturer, make, model, year) or inventory attributes (type, category, subtype)
• Drag-and-Drop Upload: Drop files into categorized zones for Assets, Parts, Kits, or Product Guides to auto-classify manuals
• Document Management: Archive or delete outdated manuals; toggle between active and inactive lists while logging changes
• Advanced Search: Find documents by manufacturer, asset model, inventory category, keywords, or custom filters
• Role-Based Access: Control who views or edits content by user role, location, or module
• Inline Previews & Downloads: View files in-browser or download for offline use without leaving the platform
