Document Management (DocMan)

One of our existing german customer ask the following, can someone help on this?We have a more specific question and hope you can recommend someone at your company who is very familiar with the document management system in IFS. In brief: Of the four possible repository types https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/130_add-on_cmp/docman…, we currently use ‘Database’ and are satisfied with it.However, in future we would also like to store sensitive documents in IFS and restrict access to them on a large scale so that even people with IFSAPP login details do not have access to them.Therefore, we would like to set up a second repository with the type ‘File Storage’, as described here

Following an update,  We are unable to attach documents to expenses.   When trying to create the attachment we are getting an error ‘ File upload failed’ Expected property name or .’}’ in JSON at position 1 (Line 1 Column 2) Has anyone had this before 

I am trying to perform a File Operation>Copy File To operation (and Distribute>Send Document File By Email) to copy Document Revisions to my  computer and it seems like the limit is 15 Documents.  When I select 15 documents, the function  File Operation>Copy File is visible…as well as the Distribute>Send Document Files by E-Mail. When I select 16 or more files, the option for File Operation is no longer on the screen. Is there a setting somewhere we can change to allow more documents to be selected?Thanks,Gregg

Hi,I use IFS Cloud (Application service update: 23.2.1).I create a new file type in the EDM basic data. This is for the .stp Extension (3D Files from CAD)Then I use this new file type when creating a new document revision. When I try to approve the revision, I have this message :“The number of PDF files and/or the combination of view and original files on this document is invalid for PDF signature and certification. If you are an end-user, talk to your system administrator. If you are calling this API from code, check your data or consider using the more specific method to sign your PDF file.”This file type is not PDF so I don’t want (and I can’t) use e-sign for this file.I use several document class to test and the result is the same.If I use a already created file type, this OK, I can validate it without any problems. Does somebody have any ideas about this issue ?Thanks for your feedback if you have same issue.

Hi Team, The customer experiences a lot of trouble with the Aurena Agent stop working for users. In May we had 92 users affectedIn June we had 64 users affectedIn july we had 19 users affectedIn august we had 42 users affected. This is an ongoing problem, and it can only be solved by re-installing the Aurena Agent. That is not a sustainable solution for the customer.Also, they have tried troubleshooting the Aurena Agent according to the article: KB0082974 with both methods with no results. and don´t get any answer from aurena agent in neither way.   Product Version: 23.2.14 Business Impact: The Aurena agent stops working and the users need to reinstall the Aurena agent. We have considered not using the Aurena Agent but seen to our business needs that is not an option.

Is there a way to configure/schedule a temporary approver in the the document module?

Hello,Is it possible to define the viewer's default display type for PDFsBy default the viewer open file in “Fit Width”. I would like to obtain a “Fit to page” display. 

I have an issue that has only cropped up with a few users and can’t be solved by normal troubleshooting of Aurena Agent.Process:Prepare Work Order → Attachments → Documents → New Document Set Doc Class and Format, click Select, choose file (located on desktop folder, also tried moving it to the \Documents\IFS folder) Click Upload. The following error messages crop up:1st error message: EdmFile.The "EDM File” has already been removed by another user.2nd error message: Something went wrong when uploading the file using the Aurena Agent. Error message: ForbiddenI have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Aurena Agent, including logout/reboot. Sometimes this works for a little while, but then the issue returns. As mentioned, this is only an issue for a few users, so I don’t think it’s a case of e.g. security settings crashing with IFS operations.Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Hello,Has anyone come across this error and managed to fix?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the Aurena Agent and Chrome Extension but still no luck.

Hello, I have two questionsWe are now starting with DMS - could you let us know whether there is some kind of option that allows us to limit the documents for particular SITE / SITES? We have 5 companies within the holding and some documents are limited for one, some for two, some are available for the whole holding company.  Our sales man have given rights in the CRM module and so on… they have their own customer orders and documents related to them. Is there a way (in case one is on long-term sick leave or holiday) how to “temporarily” add them the rights for the documents of the original person so he can see the contracts necessary? Something like for authorization of purchase orders where you state the “replacement” and the time for which he / she is valid to approve it for.  Thank you very much for your feedback,BRPetra

Dear AllI want to ‘hide’ obsolete documents in the documents attachment pane of an IFS module (functional objects, projects etc.). Is there a setting that can achieve that. I know we can show only the latest revision in an attachments pane, but I can’t see anything that would enable me to not show stand-alone obsolete documents.Does anybody have any ideas on how to achieve this?

When checking out an excelm file from doc revision using the ‘Edit Document’ button, Excel opens but the file does not. The doc is successfully checked out, the revision is downloaded and is visible in the user’s download location and can also be opened from there. As a result of the file not opening, the document cannot be revised / updated. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow excelm files to open when downloading? We are on 24R1 SU12
