Introduction
Welcome to the class
Thank you for attending this ARMIS Users Track training class. In this class, you will learn the
basics of how to use ARMIS and apply it to your daily operations when it comes to managing
documents and records. Aside from lectures, we will also have lab exercises for fun and hands
on learning.
Should there be any concerns or questions that arise during the discussion, the participants are
encouraged to write them down on a piece of paper and let the trainor address each after the
lesson.
The participants will also be provided with user accounts and sample files to be used in
performing lab exercises.
As a courtesy to other participants, please place your cell phones on vibrate or mute, turn off
your devices during the session. We ask that you only make calls during break periods.
If you have a personal emergency and are unable to attend or complete the class, please let us

Archives and Records Management System 1.1 Users Training Manual
What is ARMIS?
Security Management
This feature allows users and groups to be created, modified, viewed, and deleted. Each
user has a designation/position that is implemented as a group. Temporary accounts can also
be created with an expiry date. It provides permission or roles to be assigned by an
administrator to users and groups and be revoked thereafter. After creation of a user account, a
user can be invited to join a site. Users can login and be authenticated by the system.
Document Tracking
This feature allows agency users to upload a document or documents by batch into the
system and select a corresponding doctype which contains pertinent data about the document.
A document, by definition, is a file that can still be edited (metadata or contents) and can go thru
a workflow. As the user uploads, corresponding metadata readily available will be captured by
the system and can also be encoded. The owner of the document (the one who uploaded it) and
the administrator can grant permissions to other users to view/read the document. Documents
returned from a search are those documents the user has READ/VIEW permissions, at least.
6
Archives and Records Management System 1.1 Users Training Manual
This feature provides facility for maintenance and preservation of archives, and its
inventory similar to records. According to R.A. 9470, archives or archival materials are public
records, papers, periodicals, books or other items, articles or materials, whether in the form of
electronic, audio-visual or print, which by their nature and characteristics have enduring value,
that have been selected for permanent preservation.
Records can be identified as archival at the time of their creation but they are usually not
transferred to an archival institution for permanent preservation until they have ceased to be of
immediate administrative use to the creating organization.
The feature provides report and audit trails for users and administrators which are useful
for monitoring documents and records as well as user activities in the system.

collaboration site wherein a document can be managed using workflows and versioning before it
becomes finalized and be moved to the Records Management site for record filing. Preferably, an
agency site has to be created as private in order to secure their transactions from unauthorized
users. For a user to become a member of an agency site, the site manager has to send him an
invitation to join the site. Being a member of an agency site is also accompanied with a read-only
access to the corresponding agency file plan in the Records Management site unless the user is
given with a higher set of permissions by the administrator.
Search for an agency site is only applicable for sites which the user is already a member
or for sites with public visibility setting.
