Nothing to install
DocLog is one file that opens in Chrome or Edge, the browser already on the computer. No installer, no admin rights and no server, so there is nothing for IT to approve or set up.
DocLogThe team’s documents, in one place
Every document the team keeps, found in a moment.
DocLog shows every file in the folder your team already shares, titled by its folders and its name, and finds any of them by its name and the folders it is in. Nothing needs adding one by one, nothing is filled in about a document, and no file is moved, renamed or changed. Open one file in Chrome or Edge on each computer, with nothing to install.

No IT involvement
Buy it today. It works tomorrow morning.
DocLog runs in the browser you already have, from one file. One person can buy it this afternoon and the next shift can use it: no install, no IT ticket, and nothing leaving your network. Your data stays in your own files, in the folders your team already uses.
No account
Nobody signs up or signs in to anything of ours. Open the file and start work: there is no license server to reach and no subscription to lapse.
Runs offline
It makes no network requests at all. It works on a line with no internet, and nothing you type is ever sent to us or to anyone else.
Stays on your network
Your documents stay where they are, in the folder your team already shares on your network drive. The only file DocLog writes for itself is a small settings file at the top of that folder, with old versions of it kept beside it.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing to keep up.
Choose the folder
Open DocLog and choose the folder where the team keeps its documents, such as a shared drive everyone can open. Every file in it, however deep, shows at once, and nothing in it is moved or changed. Every other computer chooses the same folder.
Find it by its name
Type part of a file's name or of a folder it is in, or choose a folder beside the list. Open the file in a click, or copy its path to send it on.
Keep what you use close
Pin the documents you use and they stay at the top; Recent shows the ones you opened last. An admin, if you set one up, adds files and sets the company name, the word for a document and the passcode.
What it does
The folder you already have, shown and searched.
Try it before you set anything up: Try it with a made-up folder, on the first screen, opens a made-up site’s procedures, work instructions, forms and drawings. Nothing in the demo is saved, and Leave the demo puts you back where you started.
Every file, at once
Read from the folder itself- Every file in the documents folder, however deep, shows on Documents, with nothing to add one by one and nothing to fill in about it
- Each is titled by where it is, its folders and then its name, so Forms/F-101 Rev E NCR Form.xlsx shows as Forms - F-101 Rev E NCR Form
- Every folder is a category, with no setting up: Folders, beside the list, shows each with how many files are in it
- Scan now looks through the folder at once, and DocLog looks again by itself when you come back to it after a minute or more
- A document saved into the folder from Word or File Explorer appears by itself; Office lock files, Thumbs.db, desktop.ini and hidden files are skipped
Find it
By its name and the folders it is in- Search matches each file's name and the folders it is in; it never reads inside a file
- Choose a folder to see only what is in it and its subfolders
- Sort by best match, by title or by when the file last changed
- Choose a file to see where it is, with Open and Copy the path for sending it on
Yours on this computer
Pinned and recent- Pin the documents you use and they stay at the top for you
- Recent shows the ones you opened last
- Both are kept on this computer only, so each person has their own
An admin, if you want one
Set up with a passcode- Optional: choose Set up admin and set a passcode, and staff then search, open and pin, while adding a file and changing the settings wait for an admin
- Add a file from this computer, or drop it on the page: DocLog asks only which folder it goes into, and copies it there under its own name
- On Settings: the company name for the printouts, the word your team uses for a document (a procedure, a record) and the passcode
One small settings file
The only file it writes for itself- DocLog Database.xlsx, at the top of the folder, keeps the settings so every computer sees the same; it is made the first time a setting is changed
- Before each save, the settings file as it was is kept in Old versions beside it: the original, the last copy of each earlier day and the 20 most recent
- DocLog never copies, moves, renames or deletes a document on its own: it writes only the settings file, and a file an admin adds, into the folder chosen for it
Paper and lists
Everything that leaves the file- Print this list prints the files on screen, each with its title and where it is, with the company name, the date and the filters in use
- Export this list saves the same as an Excel workbook
In the Alderworks Quality Suite
The ninth app, after DeviationLog- DocLog shows the files in its own Documents folder in the suite's shared folder
- DocLog follows the suite's light or dark, its color and its one admin; its pages there are Documents, Folder and Settings
Honest about what it is
The admin passcode stops accidents, not people: anyone who can edit the settings file in Excel, or use the browser’s developer tools, can get past it. What keeps the folder safe is who can write to it.
What it is not
DocLog shows the files in your folder as they are. It keeps no document numbers, revisions, statuses or owners, does not approve or review a document, and does not say which revision is current, and its search matches file and folder names only. Make sure the documents in the folder are the current, approved ones, and that your document control meets your own requirements.

Add it to your suite. Every Alderworks app you buy counts toward the $599 Alderworks Quality Suite, all nine apps in one file. With DocLog bought, the other eight together cost you $450 at most: each costs its own price until the one that would take you past $599, which costs only what is left and brings every app.
If there is ever a 3.0. It is a new purchase; your 2.x license keeps working and keeps getting 2.x releases.
