Fortis LDAP
Fortis LDAP Support is Westbrook Technologies’ response to meet the ever-evolving needs of the network administrator. Many enterprises have implemented LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directories, which are repositories for information about network-based entities, such as applications, files, printers and users.

Fortis Document Alert!
Document Alert! is an electronic notification system that provides both visual and audio alerts any time a document is scanned, faxed, forwarded, or imported into a user's Fortis In Basket. The feature is neatly displayed as a desktop icon in the Windows tray and provides a shortcut to launch Fortis from the desktop to view documents.

Fortis Data Entry Assistant
Make indexing and updating Fortis documents easier with Data Entry Assistant. Most likely, you have information stored in a database that you would like to import into a Fortis database. The thought of retyping all that data is overwhelming! With Data Entry Assistant indexing or updating documents can be done with a few clicks or keystrokes.

Fortis Update Assistant
Many organizations have data stored in an application or database that can easily be exported to an ASCII file. With the Update Assistant option, Fortis can use this ASCII file to reduce time and labor when indexing documents or when they need to update index data and/or add and replace pages in their existing documents.

Fortis QuickFind
QuickFind is a document retrieval utility that allows you to launch Fortis from an icon on your desktop to search and find data instantly. Click on an icon, enter the key word, account number or other customizable field you need to find a pertinent document and within seconds your information is retrieved.

Fortis Auto Logoff
An optional component of Fortis Auto Logoff enables administrators to set a system-wide time-out for inactivity. After a specified number of minutes of activity, the system will release the station license being used. Users will be informed that their session has been timed out and they will need to log on again to continue working with the system.
