DOCMAN - Attach one existing document to several objects/sales parts in one operation

Hi,

Depending on how hard you think it is to find the right document (with Asitha's suggestion it might suddenly have become easier...), you might want to consider doing the connection from the other side, by finding the document and connecting the objects instead, here:

In the Object Key field, type to find your object or, if that's hard (because the LOV does not search well on what you type), use Find to open the more detailed Find dialog. In there, you can filter on any attribute from the object and even save filters:

Perhaps the Duplicate command will save some typing as well, once you made one connection:

If it's very important for you to make this as efficient as in IEE, you can consider a proper modification or, possibly, a configuration (custom event).

From IFS Document Management we cannot affect how the attachments work, but we have some control over the Objects tab above. It might be possible to provide a way to select more than one object there, in the Find dialog. Might... Perhaps you should create an idea in the Ideas section here on IFS Community to get that to be considered?

It might also be possible to learn some keyboard shortcuts that will speed up the process or even use software like AutoHotkey to "type and click" for you.
 

Thank you both for your response,

The use of % in search was helpfull - thanks @Asitha Rajapaksha 

@Mathias Dahl - yes we can do it from DocumentRevision, but then we have to have a list of object we want to connect… That way is used in some cases. I have also configured the “search” in “key” field (PageDesigner) - so we do not use “Find” side panel ( it is too much clicking) -we find the object just by typing part_no
