My customer has the following idea: prepare a sales contract in IFS, maybe prepare a base document revision using a macro in DocMan and next export the document to Teams. This allows a multitude of persons that have no access to IFS to update the document, expand it etc.
Once ready the document will be checked in into IFS again.
What would an efficient process be for this? Or maybe something automatic?
It sounds like you are describing an efficient process already that takes a minute to do initially and a minute once the document is ready and to be checked in again. Use Edit Document to check it out and copy the checked out file to Teams. Then copy it back to the check out location in Docman once done in Teams. Considering the value created by the efficient collaboration in Teams, those two minutes of overhead does not seem like a high price to pay.
Two macros in Docman can probably automate most of this. Once the file is checked out, the macro could copy it to some location where Teams, or at least SharePoint/OneDrive can pick it up. Then a check in macro could do the reverse.
Most probably more advanced automation can be done as well, leveraging the APIs available in Teams/SharePoint. Sounds like a fun project to work on :)
Good luck!
PS. We are thinking about ways on how to integrate Docman into MS Teams.
Thanks
I don't know much about that I'm afraid. I recommend that you refer to the release material that should be available now, or soon (not sure where though...)
