A document management portal is a secure online space where your team or users can log in to access, upload, download, and manage important documents. It centralizes all your files and related communication, so you don’t have to rely on scattered emails, shared drives, or paper records. This makes it much easier to keep documents organized, up-to-date, and accessible to the right people.
Softr makes it simple to build a document management portal that fits the way your organization handles files. You can connect your existing data—like document records in Airtable, Notion, or other platforms—and create a portal where users can securely log in, access the latest files, upload documents, and see updates, all in one place.
You don’t need to write any code. Start with a template or create your portal from scratch, customize the layout, set different permissions, and brand it for your team. It’s quick to set up, easy to modify, and flexible enough to support a growing document library.
You can include a wide variety of features in your document management portal, depending on your workflow. Some common options are:
\- User logins – so each user can access their own files or folders
\- Custom dashboards – to show recently added documents, pending approvals, or storage usage
\- Forms – for submitting file requests or uploading new documents
\- File sharing – users can securely upload and download documents
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific files or folders
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize and display documents or file metadata
\- Comments or status updates – for collaboration and feedback on files
\- Permissions and roles – so different users can access only what they need
All of these features are built using Softr’s drag-and-drop tools—no coding needed. And if your requirements change, you can easily update the portal later.
No coding is required. You can build your entire document management portal using Softr’s visual editor. Layouts, permissions, and features can all be customized with simple drag-and-drop tools—so you never need to write a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple clients or teams within a single document management portal. Each user will only see the documents, folders, or information specifically assigned to them, based on their login and permissions. This makes it easy to organize and securely share files with different groups, departments, or external partners all in one place.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your document management portal. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in documents or data from other platforms using the REST API.
You’re not limited to a single source. You can integrate multiple data sources in the same portal, displaying documents from different locations side by side. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so updates in your portal or the data source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you complete control over how users interact with your document management portal. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and document access to match your team’s needs and your organization’s brand.
Each page or section can be configured to be visible only to certain users or groups, so everyone sees just the documents and folders relevant to them. You can set up different roles, such as admin, editor, or viewer, and define exactly what each can see or change. This makes it easy to keep sensitive documents secure while allowing collaboration and document sharing as needed.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have your documents or files stored elsewhere to start building your document management portal with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates perfectly with your portal.
If you already store documents or document records in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. There’s even a REST API connector for bringing in files and data from other sources. Whether you’re starting fresh or connecting existing storage, you control how your documents are organized and shared in your portal.
Yes, you can fully white-label your document management portal in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain so the portal looks and feels like a seamless part of your organization. You also have the option to remove all Softr branding, so your users only see your company’s identity throughout the entire experience.
Absolutely. Softr gives you extensive flexibility to customize both the design and layout of your document management portal. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to reflect your brand guidelines. You decide how each page is organized, choose which blocks are displayed, and control what different types of users see when they log in.
To present your documents and data, use a variety of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to display structured lists of documents or folders
\- List or Card blocks – to feature document summaries, categories, or collections
\- Detail View – to show full document details or metadata
\- Forms – for uploading new files or submitting document-related information
\- Charts – to visualize document usage or access trends
\- Calendar blocks – to track document deadlines or review schedules
If you need to update the content or layout later, changes can be made easily through the visual builder.
Softr prioritizes security for your document management portal. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your portal is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over user access, with role-based permissions, user management directly from your data source, visibility rules, and global restrictions to safeguard confidential documents and sensitive information.
If your portal connects to external sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—instead, it displays it in real time based on your access settings. You remain in control of your documents and who can view or update them.
Softr follows industry best practices for authentication, access controls, and platform monitoring to keep your document management portal secure.
