Document Management (DocMan)

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/

If you Download the document, flatten it, save, and re-upload it, the issue remains where it doesn't display fully in the attachment viewer.

Hi Community,I am trying to set up the Office Add-In feature in IFS Document Management. I managed to Install and set it up. But I am facing an issue here.I have set up my setting as below.  In here I am using below email and I am trying to attach only the attachments. Note that I have a signature and it contains few images. When I try only to add the attachments, Create document from Microsoft office opens up with 7 attached files. I think its picking the images from the mail body as well.  Is there anything that I can do to avoid this. Even I can select which documents needs to be uploaded it still picking the mail body images. Is this intended? Anything that I can do to avoid this please? Thanks,Chamath

Our Engineering team is trying to enter technical drawings for parts and then find out where other users can access them in IFS.  For example, where can a Buyer see the drawing to send to a supplier?  Where can the Shop Floor see the drawing for specs etc in production?

In Apps9 we can quickly create object connections between a document revision and multiple objects (for example several Shop Orders). When adding a row in the Objects tab in Document Revision window the Connect Object dialog appears and I can choose an Object type and then search and select multiple rows to connect to the document revision.I can’t find this functionality in Aurena (Cloud), hope someone could help me!

Hello,I have a question about documents uploaded in addition to IFS. The file where the documents are kept works with FTP. There is a single file path and it saves the document in a single place without separating the class.With the change of all servers in the company, IFS, FTP etc. servers also changed. The structure we want to create on the new servers is to give different file locations for file classes and save each file in the file location of the relevant class. We can do this scenario.My main problem is that all document classes are in a single path and in the H2 pool on the old server. What I want to do is to be able to view the relevant documents on the old server from the new folder created for the relevant class on the new server.What I really want is to be able to access the documents saved on the old server from the file I opened on the new server.How can I achieve this without making any updates from the database or by updating in a healthy way?

User with set of permissions is not able to view the documents(do not get eye icon as shown below) but when we try with same set of permissions on other user, he is able to see eye icon, why is it so ? Is it driven on some other accesses ? Person facing issues is added in the person groups already. 

Trying to find out if there are any known instances where IFS CLOUD has been implemented and integrated with a Document / Content Management system called Hyland OnBase. I’ve checked the Hyland OnBase website which lists multiple integrations but the list doesn’t include IFS. I’m trying to find out if this will be a “first of a kind”, or if its been done previously elsewhere
