Document Management (DocMan)

On a configured IFS Cloud instance I came across this, map positions on media items. When taking photos in MWO, lat/long is captured and will show up here (as a proof of where the photo was taken).On 24.1 and 24.2 Vanilla instances that doesn't exist and if I add Object Connections I still don't see it. Hence I was wondering if I missed a step or if there is a setting in Docman?

Hello Community,I created this topic because I couldn't find what I was looking for in the community. If there is already a post that deals with this topic, please let me know, otherwise here is my explanation:I would like to know how I can access the attachments that are attached in SMT. More specifically, I would be interested in the following questions:Where can i access the attachement storage? Is there a software besides the Smart Client? What is the total memory size of my attachments? What is the current memory utilisation in my system? Is it possible to retrieve this information about the data in SMT without any other programmes (apart from the Smart Client or a query via SQL)? Is it possible to adjust the storage capacity (within the sizing specified in the contract) independently?Perhaps one of you has an answer to one or other of my questions.Best regardsLars

Found attachments disappear after saving a posting proposal line when entering supplier invoices. It allows me to save a new attachment but when I click save after entering the voucher information the attachment is gone.

I have a few questions about the On Save - Release on the Document Revision screen. I was trying to create a new document revision and I selected the On-Save Release button.  When I entered a Document Class and Title, I tried to save the Document Revision and got this error:  How do we get the Security Checkpoints to support the On-Save Release Operation?  Since I cannot test the On-Save Release, how do you check in a Document if the Revision is already Released?Thanks,Gregg

I watched the you tube video and studied what I think is the extend of the information in our help documentation.  In the old days, we needed to have a certificate registered for the person who is doing the signing.  I don’t see references to needing a certificate in the help documents but I do see a Signing Certificates section within the Solution Manager.  Is that what I’m thinking about?How does all the work?  Do I need to have a person who is signing a document have to be registered as having a signing certificate.  How about for Internal vs External Users?Is there a place when I can see the whole story behind the use and setup of this functionality? Patrick

When using Report > Work Instruction in Shop Order to print multiple documents, files with a DWG extension are failing to open due to IFS thinking there is no files association set up. When trying to open DWG files individually IFS will open them with eDrawings. Is there another setting for file association within IFS for opening packages of documents?  

Hi,On IFS Cloud, I’m wondering if it’s possible to open directly a Word-Excel-PPT document in the navigator , without downloading it. And if it is possible, how can we configure it ? I’ve noticed that only Pdf documents can be visualized in the navigator. Thanks for your help !Caroline.

Hi everyone We are currently using a custom event to copy document object connections from “routing operation” to “shop order routing operation”, because the transformation doesn’t work for us in this case. This works very well.Know we have the Case that the Shop Order gets created via Customer Order or Project. The users in Sales Team oder Project users don’t have access to all Documents which have to be copied. Since the Users don’t have access to the Documents the event doesn’t copy them.As “Hotfix” we gave them access to the documents but I rather fix it the right way.Currently the api call is right in the Event itself.            Doc_Reference_Object_API.Copy_Object_Connection(old_lu_name_,                                                                                                          old_key_ref_,                                                                                                          new_lu_name_,                                                         

Hi Experts I just need to mention first that I am not a technician. Please excuse me for the simple explanation. I was wondering if it is possible to send an E-invoice (customer invoice) with the attached document. This means can IFS CLOUD send out an E-invoice with an embedded PDF document? is there in IFS a transformer available?

Hi,I am looking for advice on setting up Document Management in a way that ensures individuals who access documents with different classifications (Public, Sensitive, Highly Sensitive, Confidential) are aware that secured documents should not be sent outside the organization. Is there a way to configure this in the system? Or does anyone have suggestions on how this can be achieved?Thank you for your help!BrLinda

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,What is the difference between the Object Key and Key Ref columns in the Document Object Connections page? I could not find any differences in the values. Is there a historical reason for this or why do these columns exist twice? Thanks, Mike

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 all,When we try to perform a document review, we are unable to uncheck lines not impacted by the review when reviewing plans.

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
