Nextgen Image Store is an additional feature in La Crosse Nextgen that allows you to safely and conveniently attach and store any number of documents or scanned images to use as supporting documentation for your Nextgen records. This eliminates the need to store documents in folders on your network or use a third party document storage system. Attach documents such as signed proposals in PDF, notes in Word documents or text files, Excel spreadsheets, scanned photos, screen shots or electronic signatures to serial records, leases, invoices, transactions, contracts, service calls or customer records, as well as many others. Nextgen Image Store provides you with rock solid SQL security because your files are stored in one location, which is right in your Nextgen database. In addition, there is no need to worry about backing up your files, since your SQL database backup does all the work for you.
