Easily Share Documents with infoRouter’s Anonymous Libraries

With infoRouter's Anonymous Libraries, you can share important documents with external users without the need for authentication. This feature allows your customers, partners, or the general public to access selected libraries on a read-only basis, ensuring they have quick and easy access to the information they need.

By setting up an Anonymous Library, you eliminate the need for user accounts or permissions, simplifying access to critical resources like product manuals, software updates, and documentation. Users can search, view, and download files without any administrative overhead, while you maintain control over which documents are available.

This approach is ideal for businesses looking to provide public access to frequently requested information, allowing you to streamline document sharing and improve customer satisfaction—all while maintaining the security and integrity of your document management system.

Setting up a Self-Service Document Library with infoRouter

This example illustrates how one hardware company organized their documentation in infoRouter for the purpose of sharing them with their customers.

  • A folder was created for each product line and product.
  • The corresponding content for each of these folders were uploaded.
  • All downloadable documents and images for the product became available online instantly.
  • This way, the customers were able to easily search from thousands of user manuals, drivers, latest software updates in a way that is familiar to them.
  • The content for each product is under constant change and review by a team of members who each contribute to their related areas.
  • Once the newer version of a document or driver is created, it becomes instantly available without conversions or webmaster involvement.
  • Most popular manuals and drivers were exposed on the customer portal so that they could be located instantly as customers navigated to the web site. This eliminated the need for customers to have to navigate through folders and sub-folders.

Once the content is organized, a site like this can be created within a matter of minutes. This is a typical "Anonymous Library" implementation of infoRouter.
