The Development of DMSNumGen; A Document Management System Number Generator Application Dissertation

Document Management System Number Generator (DMSNumGen) comes with the objectives of analyzing the critical security features for Document ID (DID) generation by providing different interfaces between system administrator and normal users, designing both system architectures for system administrator and normal users as well as developing an automated system that can generate DID based on the input given by users. The system shall be flexible enough which can be customized to suit organization’s document numbering convention. These objectives are to address the issue in generating DID which can suits every organization’s document numbering convention complexity. This project is intended to replace manual-based system currently being used or a system which does not support organizations’ numbering convention complexity. Development methodology been used is Spiral Model Approach whilst for research methodology is qualitative type. It is found that each organization has its own document numbering convention and the larger the organization, the more complex the document numbering convention. New system architecture had been designed to automate the DID generation process without involving the intervention from system administrator unless needed should system errors occurred.
