Document Management (DocMan)

What is defined as “Linked Documents” in IFS?

Hello I am looking for a possible option for below concern.I have a customer who is looking to move to doc man from a third party tool.Lets say this customer has 2 companies, and both companies use the same document class. For example document class 100.Customer wants to restrict the document access based on the users in the companies. Lets say Company A users shouldn’t be able to view the documents Related to Company B users even all of them using the same document class.I know we can restrict the access based on the document class, is there any other method? Thanks,Chamath

Hi Community,One of our customer has a requirement for document sign where they need to get the quotes signed by the customer online.I am aware that in document management we have the functionality to get the approver signature on the document but here the customer doesn’t have access to IFS.So, we are thinking of integrating with document sign software like DocuSign, Adobe etc.Could anyone share their experience with this regard and suggest which document sign application will be best suited to integrate with IFS.Looking forward for the suggestions & feedbackRegards,Mithun K V

We are using IFS Cloud 23R2 SU4.When we use Repository ‘File Storage’, we have noticed that the file name uploaded to the Windows share repository appears to have been encrypted and differs from what was uploaded by the user.If we check through the application and look at the database tables, there is no mention of this file name.Previously using FTP repository in Apps 10, it would store the file with a name like 3001-2279139-1-REV00-1See below snip shows 1st record uploaded from Cloud (File Storage) vs others from Apps 10 (FTP): Do we know what is causing this and if this is a security feature that could be turned off?

Hello,Currently testing cloud and I’m able to upload documents with the same class/format from My documents - upload document. What I would like to know if there is an option to upload files with different class/formats? Thanks!

21r2, using Chrome and with Aurena Agent installed, I find that the “eye” preview icon on a document attachment opens a PDF in the browser, whereas if i go to the document and click “View” i get the standard docman download to local checkout path.What’s the reason for the difference?Is there a way to get the eye/in-browser preview elsewhere?Preview in browser: 

We are using report rule Check in to document management. This worked fine in 21R2. We recently upgraded to 23R1 and it is no longer working. Is anyone else having issues with this in 23R1 SU1?I also set up a test in demo env, where it is also not working. Please let me know if anyone else has run into this in 23R1.https://j9s7r5g-dev1.build.ifsdemoworld.com/

I was looking how I could attach picking lists printed onto a shipment. I could only think about two options Use report archive and try to find the picking listIn report archive set the validity a bit longer (they only need 10 days) Try to find the shipment based on the notes (which is not so easy) Report rule and attach a shipmentSo secondly I was thinking of using a report rule and attach a shipmentbut I cannot see an attachment screen on shipment so I was not sure how to enable this. I checked object connections but could not choose shipment as an entity? Its on this screen I would like to attach some documents 

We are receiving an unhandled security checkpoint error.  This is on attached approval processes when using an approval template. So in the example below, it is on an Inventory part.  It also happens on a Supplier for Purchase part as another example.  However, it does not happen for any of our document approvals within the document revision screen.  I did see another post that recommended going to system parameters and turning the Security checkpoint framework available off and then on again….but this did not correct our issue.

I am working with a customer that would like to change the document object connections for documents connected to an activity on a project to an activity on a different project? Thanks!

Is there any restriction/limitation on the Supplier for Purchase Part window to add new documents?Trying to get the “New” button enabled, can use some helpful pointers. Followed the steps mentioned in the Enable attachments in IEE windows | IFS Community Granted the user with Document Administration permission sets. Users can attach new documents in other IFS screens, not in the Supplier for Purchase part. This brings the question, is there any special setup needed or any limitation (APP10 UPD16)

I would like to know the specific values of the arguments of "RunLocalMacro" that can be executed using IFS Aurena Agent.If anyone can confirm that it actually works, please let us know the argument values. Related links on this subject:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/Foundation1/050_development/022_user_interface/030_aurena_dev/100_how_to_develop_aurena_pages/045_aurena_agent/

After I create a Document with Multiple sheets, and I want to connect all the sheets to an Object, I have to manually connect all sheets to the Object. I can utilize the Document Revisions screen and select all the sheets for the Document Revision and the Connect to an Object.   If Document Sheet 1 is already connected, and I create new sheets after the connection, I can connect automatically using the New Sheet Wizard. Is there a way I can connect Document Sheet 1 to an Object using the Connect Object button on the Document Revision screen and all the other sheets are automatically connected to the Object?

Hi,We are are looking at ways to automatically clear out obsolete documents stored inside the database.One of the posts suggested setting this parameter in Document Default Values: How does the cleanup work once this parameter is set?Is there is a Scheduled Task which is running or needs to be enabled? 

Hello,I have been looking into how to trace the download and/or print of document revisions. I have been looking at report archive and that appears to only log operational reports. Is there a way to track what is being printed or downloaded from document revisions?

Good day community.We have a client that is implementing Cloud and need to migrate 10 000 plus documents from legacy, along with their existing document numbers.In Apps 10 it was possible to upload multiple files at once using the File Import screen. On here it was possible to change the document number to a legacy number when uploading new files In Cloud I believe the same can be done using Create Documents.However, it allows me to create documents and to enter Legacy Numbers  but once I save, it returns this error:  

When I download a PDF invoice, the file name is a concatenation of our Document Title + Repository File Name.How can we change this so that the downloaded PDF does NOT include the repository file name? This is a file that can be manually sent to our customers, and the file name is confusing - it makes it look like the invoice number is the document number.   

Dear Community,We are new at making lobby pages and right now we are having a challenge with the DMS approvals.In Apps 9, we have an advanced query as saved search on the start page, where the logged in user can see all pending approval steps assigned  directly to User-ID and  person groups (when member of one).Does anyone have an idea how this could be realised with a lobby data source+element in IFS Cloud?Approvals pageThank you very much for your support.Best, Lidija
