Frequently
Asked
Questions
What types of documents can be managed?
Nora IPLM supports engineering drawings, specifications, reports, CAD-related documents, quality and compliance files, manuals, and reference documents. Manufacturing teams can also use this controlled documentation alongside guidance on what an MBOM is. All documents are managed with structured metadata and traceability.
How does Nora IPLM handle document version control?
Nora IPLM automatically tracks document versions and revisions, ensuring teams always access the latest approved files while preserving complete change history for audits and reference.
Can documents be linked to items, BOMs, or changes?
Yes. Documents can be directly linked to items, BOMs, workflows, and change records, ensuring contextual access and full traceability across the product lifecycle. For manufacturing teams, those controlled documents can also remain connected to MBOM management.
Are document approvals and workflows supported?
Yes. Nora IPLM supports configurable workflows for document review and approval, ensuring documents are validated before release and aligned with internal processes.
Can existing documents be imported into Nora IPLM?
Yes. Documents can be imported from shared drives, local systems, or legacy tools, enabling a smooth transition without disrupting ongoing work. Connected integrations help keep those files accessible across the wider engineering environment.
