Document Management (DocMan)

Hi Community,I am creating an approval template in Document Management, I want more than one user to approve a document, but I do not want to make it hierarchical. I want User B to be able to approve a document that User A can approve; I want the status of the document revision approved by a single user (like Approval Routing). How can I do this? Best Regards.

Hi Experts,I am encountering an issue with the macro functionalities in Excel, as they do not appear to be working as expected. Specifically, the requirement is to retrieve the Source values from IFS and populate them in the designated cells within Excel.Kindly refer the attached document “Steps for Macro with Word and Macro with Excel.docx”I was able to follow this functionality precisely within Word, and it is working as expected. The steps I followed included creating a document revision and applying the document class with the Word macro. Then selected 'Edit' button. Upon opening the document, navigated to 'Quick Parts' > 'Field' > 'DocProperty', and chose a field with a value to be automatically fetched from the IFS server.In Excel, as the 'Quick Issue' functionality is unavailable, an alternative approach was employed to automatically retrieve the field values. The process involved navigating to File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties > Custom tab to achi

Hi everyone,I’ve noticed that the drag and drop area is not enabled when the IFS Aurena Extension (Aurena Agent)  is installed and enabled for the environment the customer is working on. I understand that this is not a bug, but rather a feature. From what I gather, this is partly due to security restrictions in modern web browsers. Can anyone provide more details on these security restrictions? Specifically, why does drag and drop functionality conflict with the Aurena Agent?I found some related information in this article, but I have a customer who is curious to hear more insights and experiences from the community. Are there any workarounds or best practices for users who rely on both features?Thanks in advance for your expertise!Best regards,/ashley

Hello,I’m struggling to get macros working in our customer’s 23R2 environment for a session I have with them very soon.  I copied the macro and blocks from our GCS Demo Database, which is 24R1.  I used the ones whose names begin with IFS_ and where the write used ALL CAPS.When I first ran my test using CHECKOUT, nothing happened.  I’ve since gone back and am adding msgboxs to glean what information I can about what subroutine is being run at a particular momentIn the IFS_01_02_GENERAL_GET_DATA block, we have the code and I’ve added the msgbox.ifs_check_out_path = clientscriptvalues.item("check_out_path").valueIf ifs_check_out_path = "" then' use the check_out_path client script value insteadifs_check_out_path = scriptvalues.item("local_path").valueend If MsgBox "We've just fetched the checkout path ["&ifs_check_out_path&"] is it blank?"  When I run, the message box reads: MsgBox from macro testingThis is telling me that it has not found the checkout path in either the clientscr

I’m trying to get the macros found in the 24R1 GCS demo data and in our customer’s database and have run into a brick wall.  I’m hoping someone can help me knock it down.The error,MSGBOX "APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED TO ACCESS DOCUMENT"Is in the macro block named General_Open in the subroutinePUBLIC FUNCTION IFS_EXEC(O_APP, OPT, F).  This is the entry point for the macro.I’m at a loss. Patrick

we have a customer that had this question logged by one of their users in the Production team, please would you be able to advise if there would be any issues with us allowing this?“Would there be any impact on IFS if we store build packs as documents? These are currently stored on Notes so we need an alternate storage location and keeping on IFS would mirror processes for other part related documents. These are .zip files, currently on notes we have 388 packs saved, total size 4866 MB. This covers a 9 year period so we wouldn't be looking to transfer all of these, but the above numbers are representative of how they would accumulate over time.”Thank you,Sanjith

Aurena Agent is great but sometimes you might get a problem and you want to know if it's due to using the Aurena Agent or you want to see how things work without it.Firstly, before you disable the Aurena Agent, it's good to know how to see if it's enable or not in the first place, and one simple way is to open the User Settings page under IFS Document Management:Above, if a path is shown and if Agent Available says Yes, then the Aurena Agent is installed and is working.To disable it, open Chrome's Extensions page:Look for the Aurena Extension and disable it:Now you only have to reload the IFS Cloud page (the web browser tab, it's not enough to refresh the record on the page), and you will now see that the Aurena Agent is not available:For more information about the Aurena Agent, and with links how to troubleshoot it, visit our documentation:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/020_installation/400_installation_options/040_aurena_agent/
