Your document management glossary

Controlled forms are official documents used to collect data or perform tasks that are subject to version control, approval workflows, and compliance standards, just like controlled manuals. In aviation, examples include maintenance checklists, safety reports, and inspection logs.

Managing forms as controlled documents ensures they remain accurate, up to date, and consistent across the organization. With Web Manuals, controlled forms are integrated into the same lifecycle management system as manuals, complete with version history, role-based access, and automated distribution to the right personnel.
