Add Controlled Document

SuiteFactory is a full featured communications and secure database driven system supporting full Document and File Control. 

As part of this Document Control System SuiteFactory provides a mechanism for storing related documents and files together for Engineering and Manufacturing.

This container is called a Packet. One way a Packet can be used would be to consider it as an "Operation" and be used as part of a "Traveler". 

Controlled Documents are non-N/C Files that are controlled within SuiteFactory's base structure and in general can only be accessed using SuiteFactory's Administration Rights.

Note: Access to SuiteFactory's Documents and Files are controlled by User Rights granted by an Administration.
