Abstract

A document management device provides a user interface that receives an indication from a user of one or more series associated with an electronic document, such as a scanned or electronically completed medical-related form. In other embodiments, the document management device comprises document detection intelligence that determines a type of document and/or series for an electronic document. After determining a series associated with a document, one or more attributes that have previously been associated with the determined series are associated with the electronic document. The attributes associated with the electronic document may then be used to control user's rights to the document, indicate a type of viewer associated with the document, indicate a storage location for the document, and/or indicate a type of the electronic document, for example.
