Document Timeline
Every document. Every event. In chronological order.
Flexible date grouping, audit trails, task management and AI findings – all connected in one timeline.
Time reveals what folders hide.
PaperOffice AI offers 7 different date fields for timeline grouping: creation date, invoice date, due date, delivery date, document date, order date and validity date. Combined with 3 grouping modes (day, week, month) and 12+ event types.
