deanwebb thanks very much for your quick and in-depth reply!

So some further thinking;
Budget, reasonable, whatever it takes to get a good reliable system.
Security, there is nothing to be stored on the network that is confidential or personal data, its purely drawings of sets for lighting purposes, but necessary for multiple people to access all drawings stored from one central location.

I shall have a look at Okta and similar services, I think having a corporate cloud account and some level of basic security like you suggest with a user and password system would be perfect. I shall have a look and I am sure some more questions will arise. My only query with having this system cloud based, if we lost our connection to the internet, and could not access our folders, it would hold up filming and that would be an issue. From that respect perhaps a shared folder system on a networked computer may be a safer option.

Thanks again.

Hello, I work in a TV studio environment and need to update the way we work with paperwork. There may well be some software that does exactly what I am after so please do let me know! But essentially, I need a system that allows a person to scan in a piece of paperwork, upload it onto a server or cloud via a computer, can be internet based or can be a local server whatever would work best, and that paperwork be accessed by 4 different tablets. The paperwork is then accessed, scribbled over as notes and not saved once filming is complete. But there maybe an occasion where a permanent note is needed so that can be updated onto the paperwork itself and all other devices can then see it. We have lots of networking possibilities in the studio, and hardware set up to access the paperwork is currently thought as a tablet so we can use a stylus etc. File formats for the paperwork, perhaps Pdf? that way the tablets can use some sort of simple Pdf editor to scribble on, but also make permanent changes to it. Of course a file structure can be used to have master versions and workable versions of the paperwork, but my main point is some advice on what sort of system would be recommended for this? Cloud based? or on a local server? is there something already that can do exactly what I want? And is there a better bit of software that can edit paperwork or would a pdf editor be the way forward.

Many thanks in advance,
Matt
