Document Control

A document library
that maintains itself.

Get your full documentation set in place fast — then let QFormance keep it current. Live definitions, reusable components, automatic headers, and QMS connections that trigger themselves.

In-Process Inspection Procedure

4.2InspectionISO 9001 §8.6AS9100D §8.6

Operators perform first-piece inspection per WI-INSP-04. Where measurement equipment is used, calibration intervals must be current per the Calibration Program.

Live definition · "Calibration Program" is maintained centrally — last updated 02 Apr 2026.

Start fast.

Import your existing documents, start from a template, or write from scratch — the editor gets you to a compliant, approved document as quickly as possible.

Import from Word or PDF

Drop in an existing document and AI cleans up the formatting, structure, and heading hierarchy automatically — ready to map and approve.

Templates

Pre-built starting documents with title, category, class, and initial content already set. Authors pick a template from the New Document modal and start writing immediately.

AI Compliance Mapping

Open the AI panel on any document and it reads your content against your active standards — surfacing covered requirements and flagging gaps before you submit for approval.

Rich editor

Slash commands, heading auto-numbering, live table of contents, and an automatic formal header — logo, version, owner, approver, and revision history generated for you.

Stays current automatically.

The hardest part of document control isn't writing documents — it's keeping them consistent when things change. QFormance handles that for you.

Live Definitions

One glossary. Every doc updates.

Maintain one glossary for your organization. Every document that includes a definition stays current the moment you update it — no find-and-replace, no version drift.

Reusable Components

Write once. Embed everywhere.

Write a content block once — a standard scope statement, approved role definition, or compliance boilerplate — and embed it in as many documents as you need. Update the component and every document reflects it instantly.

Internal Doc Links

Rename a doc. Every link follows.

Reference other documents by link inside the editor. When a document is renamed, every link that points to it updates automatically across the library.

Connected to your QMS.

Documents don't sit in isolation. Every approval, every change, and every reference reaches the right part of your quality system automatically.

Training Hub

When a document is updated and approved, team members are automatically prompted to acknowledge the change — with optional quizzes to confirm understanding, not just receipt.

Automatic MOC

Configure document types to automatically trigger a Management of Change record when a revision is submitted. Full change control traceability with no manual steps.

Compliance Mapping

Map individual sections to standard clauses as you write. The map feeds Gap Analysis, Audits, and AI automatically — one action, three systems updated.

Frozen evidence links

Evidence references in other modules can link to a specific approved version of a document — so audit reconstruction always shows what was in force at the time.

Full control, no compromise.

Up to 3-step approval chains

Serial approval steps with per-step delegation. Routing rules auto-fill the right reviewer and approver based on facility, class, and category — or lock them so authors can't override.

Immutable revision history

Every approval writes a permanent revision record — version, date, approver, and revision type. Always complete, always accurate, included in every PDF export.

Access control

Documents can be organization-wide or restricted to specific users, roles, and access groups. Restricted documents are invisible to those without access.

PDF and Word export

Every export includes the formal header and full revision history table. What gets exported is exactly what was approved.

Actions & Approvals

Document approvals share the same workflow.

The 3-step approval chain that runs document control is the same chain that runs MOC, JHA, and every other approval in QFormance. Configure routing once, apply everywhere — every reviewer sees pending document approvals in the same My Approvals queue as the rest of their work.

Up to 3-step serial chain

Each step has its own approver, delegate, and timestamp. Reject or request changes sends the chain back to the right step.

Routing rules pre-fill reviewers

Per facility, document class, and category — the right reviewer and approver are populated automatically, or locked so authors can't override.

One My Approvals queue

Reviewers see document approvals beside MOC, exemption, and course approvals — pending, completed, and rejected tabs all in one place.
