A government document management system is a secure online platform that enables government staff, agencies, and authorized users to access, share, and manage official documents, records, and communications. It centralizes document workflows, provides a single source of truth, and reduces reliance on email or paper files. This makes it easier to stay organized, meet compliance requirements, and improve collaboration across departments.
Softr makes it straightforward to build a document management system tailored to government operations. You can connect your existing data sources—like Airtable, Notion, SQL, or other databases—and set up a platform where authorized personnel can log in, access documents, submit forms, and track updates, all in one place.
You don’t need to write any code. You can start with a template or design from scratch, customize the layout, configure access permissions, and brand the system for your agency. It’s quick to deploy, easy to maintain, and flexible enough to adapt as your needs evolve, helping to keep information organized and secure.
You can include a variety of features in your government document management system, depending on your agency’s workflow. Common features include:
\- User logins – so staff and stakeholders can securely access relevant documents
\- Custom dashboards – to display project status, document reviews, or compliance checks
\- Forms – for document submission, approvals, or record updates
\- File sharing – allowing users to upload and download official documents securely
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific files or records
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to manage case files, requests, or correspondence
\- Comments or status updates – to keep communication and document history in one place
\- Charts – for reporting on processing times, workloads, or compliance metrics
\- Calendar view – to track deadlines, review cycles, or meeting schedules
\- Permissions and roles – so that different users see only what they are authorized to access
All of these features are built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you don’t need to code. If your requirements change, you can easily update the system to match.
No coding is required. You can build your government document management system entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the layout to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple departments or agencies within a single government document management system. Each user only sees the documents and data assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is particularly useful for government offices that need to securely handle information across different teams or branches.
Softr supports a broad range of data sources suitable for government document management. You can connect to platforms like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data from additional sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source. Multiple data connections can be integrated into the same system and displayed together, so your document management system can pull data from various tools at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, ensuring your records stay up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your government document management system. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to match your department’s workflow and compliance needs. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on the user’s role, so each staff member or external partner only sees what’s relevant to them.
You can define different user roles, such as administrator, department staff, or external reviewer—specifying exactly what each can view or edit. For example, staff can access only their department’s documents, while administrators may see all records. You can also set up personalized views by filtering data according to the logged-in user.
This level of customization is ideal for managing sensitive information and maintaining clear, secure access throughout your organization.
Yes, you can. There’s no need to have your documents or records stored elsewhere before getting started with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is integrated directly into the platform and works seamlessly with your government document management system.
However, if your agency already stores data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. You can also use the REST API connector to integrate other data sources. Either way, you have control over how your information is organized and accessed within the system.
Yes, you can fully white-label your government document management system in Softr. You can use your agency’s logo, color palette, fonts, and custom domain to ensure the system feels like an integrated part of your official operations. You can also remove all Softr branding, so end users only see your government entity’s identity throughout the experience.
Absolutely. Softr provides robust options to tailor both the design and layout of your government document management system. You can adjust colors, select appropriate fonts, manage spacing, and structure each page to align with your organization’s standards. You also control the arrangement of each page, determine which blocks appear where, and set what information different user roles can access upon login.
To display documents and related data, you can add various block types as needed:
\- Table blocks – to organize files, records, or workflow queues
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight case files, document categories, or department resources
\- Detail View – for showing detailed information about a specific record or file
\- Forms – for document submission or data collection
\- Charts – for tracking document status or activity insights
\- Calendar blocks – to display deadlines or scheduled tasks
It’s easy to update your system’s content or design needs at any time using the visual builder.
Softr is built with data security as a top priority. All information within your government document management system is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr also gives you full control over access—set role-based permissions, manage users within your data source, establish visibility rules, and apply app-wide restrictions to safeguard sensitive government documents.
When you use external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr does not store your data; it simply displays it in real time, governed by your access settings. You always control your system’s data and can specify who can view or make changes.
Softr follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and ongoing platform monitoring to help protect your government records.
You can get started free of charge. The Softr Free plan allows you to publish one app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, supporting standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your government document management system requires additional users or advanced features, there are paid plans available to suit your needs. You can find a detailed breakdown of the plans here: <http://softr.io/pricing>
Softr is designed to make it straightforward to create fully functional, user-facing applications—such as government document management systems, internal dashboards, and workflow tools—without needing to write code. Its main advantage is the speed with which you can move from concept to operational system, and how easily it connects to your existing data sources.
Unlike some no-code platforms that focus on mobile apps or are more developer-oriented, Softr is tailored for non-technical teams who want full control over design, user experience, and access permissions.

Everything can be customized visually—from layouts and content to user permissions. With built-in support for user roles, forms, conditional logic, and APIs, you don’t need to stitch together multiple tools to deploy a polished solution.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations, enabling your government document management system to connect with the rest of your technology environment. You can automate workflows with tools like Zapier, Make, and N8N, and integrate with platforms such as Google Workspace or Slack. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for advanced automations.
Whether you need to transfer data to other systems, trigger notifications based on specific actions, or display information from external sources, you can build these capabilities into your document management system—without the need to write custom code.
