Document Management (DocMan)

when there is no direct mapping, a custom method is the usual way to set up a transformation.Instead of using a method, can we use a custom field  to set up an Object Connection Transformation when the direct mapping fields are not available in the Target?the custom filed is not coming up in the LOV of available fields for me.

Hi all,A customer is installing Aurena Agent using their remote software installation procedure to all users in a group. What they have done isMass rollout the .msi file.

Working in IFS CloudI am looking into implementing Work Instructions in Workbench through Work Guidelines. Our current routings structures are very template oriented, including Standard Operations as much as possible.I am trying to work out how to get Media attached to lower level objects to flow up to the next level, ie Pictures connected to a Work Guideline Template to move to a Standard Operation when attached, then to a Routing Template Operation, etc. Ultimately the goal is for media attached at any step in the chain to be connected at the Routing level and ultimately within the Operation Guide in Workbench.A few of these connections are standard functionality and work as expected, a couple I have had to manually enable MediaLibrary service and create Object Connection Transformations to connect these items, and in certain cases I can bypass the intermediate steps and make it work, for example anything with a Work Guideline Template connected works. However I can’t make the connec

Greetings, IFS community! Documents are saved in the database and not on an external FTP server.  Will it be possible to search for a document using words that are contained within the document as parameters? I am capable of searching and creating simple queries and quick reports in DOCMAN that utilize custom fields and fields from the tables.  However, I am trying to conduct a search within the attached document for keywords.  Would this be possible? Could you please provide me with some instructions on how to accomplish this if it is possible?  We are using IFS 10 Thank you.

We are using the detail cards for the procurement portal as the default layout and we do have connected documents to the items.  We can unfortunately not make the attached documents possible to reach without changing the view to list or table. Is this the functionality or is there any possibility to configure?

Is there a way to view PDF files without downloading them directly from the Document Revision screen, similar to how it is possible on the attachment panel in other screens? Is this possible with a custom command maybe?In my case I will have a lot of documents not attached to any objects, I would still like to be able to view the PDF documents without downloading them.

As of now in the Document Folder navigator, we don't have the direct visibility of the documents within the folders.As a part of the new development, it is intended to bring the standard capabilities into the document folder navigator, so that the user will be able to:Visualize documents within the folders directly within a document folder node. Visualize the document details in the Document Folder Navigator page. Drag and drop documents between document folder nodes in a structure.We now have the 3 options in the poll below to display the Document details in the Document Folder Navigator page. Would like to know the preference.

Hi All,Do we have any chance to remove highlighted buttons from the attachment panel. I need to remove from every form where it is appeared. My requirement is to visible and use only the "Create New” button.  Regards,Malinda.

How is the Send Document Link functionality supposed to be used? And, more exactly, the escape characters in the link? I’m testing this with a document class named ‘IPC REV’, thus with a space in it. The result is an url containing DocClass='IPC%2520REV' which does not work if I try it in the browser. 'IPC%20REV' works though. It looks as first the space is replaced by %20 and then the % is replaced by %25. Since this looks like it is done deliberately, what is the story?

Hi,Customers in Cloud Services can store documents in an Azure File Storage area instead of checking them into the database.     I believe the Repository needs to be configured to use ‘File Storage’ (https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/020_lifecycle/100_file_storage_service/#setup_file_storage).    The Repository Address and Path fields are not required for File Storage type (https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/21r2/default.htm?openpage=https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/21r2/CreateAndMaintainDocument/AboutDocumentFileRepositories.htm).      Are there any other configurations required? If the customer has documents stored in the database, this will require a Data migration to place the documents in the Azure Storage area (https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r1/020_lifecycle/100_file_storage_service/fsmigtool/). Does anyone know if Cloud Service provide access to the customer to Azure File storage area to verify documents have been checked in?Scott

Hello, everyone!Anyone familiar with IFS Cloud 21R2's Send Document File By Email feature in Document Revision window? I have installed the Aurena Agent and when I am trying to send the document, it neither opens the email nor gives any errors.I hope somebody can give us a word of advise on this matter.Your help is much appreciated.Thanks

I Heard IFS is offering or planning to offer file server option for document storage which should be significantly cheaper than storing documents in database server. Is this true?

Is there a list of error messages generated with or without the Aurena Agent. What error messages and what do they mean, and how to fix them.?One example we have is : Something went wrong when downloading, saving or opening the file using the Aurena Agent. Error message: Locked BrLinda

I have always found docman to work very well with windows and microsoft products. I have recently changed company and are now running IFS Cloud on Mac and google docs. I am sad to say, either I am missing some settings in IFS cloud or docman is not working at all in this combination.Is this something that your are aware of and intend to improve for the future?
