Advanced Features Basics
PolicyTech offers several optional add-ons and advanced feature modules.
Note: To enable an advanced feature or to purchase an advanced module, contact NAVEX Customer Support by submitting a request in the Community. If you are given a new registration code, see the instructions for Updating Registration Information.

The table below lists the available add-ons that are included with basic licenses and that only need to be enabled.
Add-On |
Description |
---|---|
PDF Converter |
PDF Converter exports a copy of all approved Microsoft Word documents to a temporary folder where a third-party application—Neevia Document Converter Pro—converts them into PDF format. PolicyTech then displays the PDF version of those documents to readers, which eliminates the need for readers to have Word licenses. Note: If Office Online Module is enabled, the PDF versions are only used when exporting documents. The Word Online viewer is always used for reading. |
Incident Management Integration |
Enables integration of EthicsPoint Incident Management with PolicyTech which is a NAVEX product. |
Document Import with Metadata |
Enables assigning many document properties to all imported documents at once using a metadata spreadsheet. |
PolicyTech API Keys |
Provides an API key that a developer responsible for doing custom programming can use to integrate third-party applications with PolicyTech documents through the PolicyTech API.
|
PolicyTech API for Integration with SharePoint Federated Search |
Provides a method for returning a list of matching PolicyTech documents in SharePoint search results. The API call—GetDocuments—retrieves only documents that both match the SharePoint search criteria and meet the following PolicyTech criteria:

Module |
Description |
---|---|
Public Viewer |
Adds an option for opening, viewing, and reading, any published document assigned the Public security level, by anyone with the URL who is not a PolicyTech user. You can restrict access to a specific range of IP addresses. |
Third-Party Contacts |
Adds the ability to define contacts from outside your organization, such as vendors or clients, as PolicyTech users. You can then assign them to write, review, or read documents. |
Localization Workflow |
Adds the ability to create localized copies from an original document so you can customize copies with site-specific information and translations. Important: Localization Workflow is available only with the purchase of an Enterprise license. |
Export Documents |
Adds the ability to export document data. You can use the following methods:
|
User Provisioning Service | Adds the ability to sync user files that are either exported from another database or manually created. The User Provisioning Service installs in your Windows environment. |
Single Sign-On | Adds the ability to refer login attempts to a third-party application. Users who are logged in through the SSO application will not need to log in when launching PolicyTech. This implementation requires a Private Key, an Authentication URL, and a URL Key for PolicyTech to communicate with your SSO application. Check with your IT professional or system administrator for information on the setup of SSO for your organization. |
