Where are the documents stored?

All documents are saved the the SelectCDMS database as binary code.
​
If you are not hosted with Access, the documents will be stored wherever your SelectCDMS database is located.
​
However, as documents are uploaded to the document store as binary code, unless you have a tool to convert that binary back into a document, you won't be able to simply open them as you would in File Explorer.
​
The easiest way to view the documents is from the document store in the Admin Tool itself, as the user interface will convert these documents from binary to a standard document for you.


Download more than one document

You can export documents from the Admin Tool by right clicking on the document and clicking export.
​
However, you can only do this with one document at a time. This is due to the fact that the system is only equipped to convert one of document back to it's original file format at a time.

If you are interested in our consultancy services to have the documents exported for you, please contact your account manager for more information.
