Global file search

Global file search in BisHub helps businesses with many files across jobs and customers. BisHub global file search helps teams search files, OCR text, metadata, client context, project context, and document records.

The problem

Photos, receipts, PDFs, contracts, videos, and customer uploads are only useful if the team can find them later.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Capture the record

    Start from the customer, job, file, message, invoice, payment, or team activity that creates the need for global file search.

  2. Step 02

    Connect the workflow

    Global file search stays tied to related BisHub records instead of becoming a disconnected tool or spreadsheet.

  3. Step 03

    Review and improve
