central control but distributed access.
Here are some of the InterNEDI features that will meet your needs:

| Why this is useful
|
| Multiple groups
| InterNEDI has been designed to handle groups of users seamlessly. It can accommodate up to 65000 groups, each of which can hold any number of users.
Permissions are set per-user, not one-size-fits-all, so each user can have permissions tailored to his specific needs and restrictions. There is also a Super Group that has some of the privileges of the Super User, but with relevant restrictions as well. Finally there is an anonymous group for unknown or "guest" users, and their permissions can be set as well (in this case permissions are group-wide because anonymous users naturally cannot be distinguished from each another).
| Reduce the time it takes your staff to understand InterNEDI - set it up to match your existing organisation exactly.
|
| No password-swapping
| With users all having different permissions, you might think that there would be a fertile market for password-swapping, so that users with more privileges could give users with fewer privileges unauthorised access. This cannot happen. InterNEDI uses a Unique Site ID instead of a password for access control, which is a sort of "fingerprint" of the PC that the customer is using, and is virtually impossible to duplicate.
| Make sure that files, documents etc go to the right person or people - no more and no less.
|
| User and Group labels
| Users and groups are identifiable by a label similarly to email. When you send to a specific user or group, you select him or it by label, and when you look through the listing of files, their sender is identified by the same label. Unlike email, these labels may contain spaces.
| Everyone can be assigned an easy-to-remember label, and thereafter everything is traceable - who a file is from, who it's for, who's received it so far, etc.
|
| To individual user, group, or all
| When you send a file you can select to send to a single user, a single group, or to all standard users at once. When sending to a group, you simply specify the group label. You do not have to concern yourself with individual members of that group as group membership is controlled by the Super User.
| Users save time by not having to maintain lists of who is a member of what group - the Super User does that and users simply select the group to send to.
Even if new members are added to the group afterwards, they will be able to get that data.
|
| Confirmation of receipt
| You can specify that confirmation of receipt is sent back to you by each file receiver. When you next log on, all confirmations sent in the intervening period are displayed, and can be saved to a history file that you can view later. Unlike email confirmations, where they are mixed up in your inbox, InterNEDI confirmations are treated differently from a normal receive, and are stored and viewed separately.
| Keep track easily of who has and who hasn't received your file/s. With the confirmation history viewer you can get an overview of what's been happening, or drill down to find exactly what did happen.
|
| Add a cover note to a file
| You may add a cover note to any file that you send, or just send the cover note on its own. It can be a short note, or a long explanation running to many pages, and works similarly to sending a cover note with a fax. When the receiver fetches the file, the cover note is displayed in a large font in a separate window as the file receive begins. The receiver may opt to view only the cover note if he wishes, without receiving the whole file.
| Add directions, instructions etc that are not part of the file itself. Easier than sending a covering email, and the receiver cannot help but see it.
