Benubird PDF : Documentation Tool

Benu bird is a document management program that helps users store and manage all sorts of documents in an effective manner from a centralized interface. The application allows you to slice and dice documents using several options such as filters, tags, meta data search etc.Adding filesYou can either add single files or entire folders to Benu bird. To add files simply click on Home > From File. But it is always better to add more than one file. So, to add entire folders to the document manager click on Home > From
?Folder.Changing library locationTo change the default location of file library or workspace location click on the Benu bird Button at the top of left corner on the screenFilter filesYou can find files quickly by filtering files as per parameters such as Author, Subject, Category, File type, Date added and more.Define more tagsBenu bird by default has a set of predefined tags. But at many times the need to create your own tags may arise. To define more tags click on the Library tags button in the Ribbon.Batch process meta data to filesMany times I find that the meta data attached to files such as Title, Author Name, Subject, Category etc. is incomplete. Benu bird helps you add this missing data easily and in bulk.Make a Smart Collection This is one of the best feature of this nifty management tool. Sadly enough it is only available in the Pro version of the software. Smart Collection provides a way to create a rule-based method of automatically creating and updating collections.Create watched foldersA watched folder is a folder that a user can specify from where files will automatically be added to the Benu bird library. You can even specify the frequency with which these watched folders will be scanned for new files.Exporting file or collections to folderExporting to a folder is essentially like exporting to a zip file. this function comes in handy when you wish to filter out certain file types in to folders for sorting. To do this right click on a file or collection and go to Export To > Folder.Add buttons to the Quick Access BarBenubird PDF : Documentation Tool
