Customer is asking for details about Document Management features (in IFS Cloud). Does a white paper or similar exist somewhere, I struggle to find such material. Someone please help.

Hello, I am working with a customer, who wants to enable a large amount of objects to control document access as they want to avoid person groups. These include Purchase Req Line Part and No Line Part, Purchase Order Line Part and No Line Part, Receipt, RFQ Part and No Part Lines, Sales Contract and Project Misc Procurement etc. Currently, I cannot enable these objects for access control because the LU’s aren’t able to retrieve the ‘Get-document-access’ package attached as standard, and would require a modification from what I have been told.  I wanted to ask if other customers have had similar requirements, where object access control was used for various LU’s or is there a list of objects for access control which will be introduced as standard set up at a later update?  RegardsAisha

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this and if there is a way around instead of creating a new revision.To get the view copy into IFS you need to upload the word file from a folder containing both the word and pfd files, both with the same title. It then pulls through both the word and pdf copies. A user has only created the word doc and it's released, is there a way of adding the pdf to that record. 

Hi @Mathias Dahl,Currently one of the customization we are trying to uplift from App9 uses a standard method from cEDM class to print multiple reports. But the standard method, which was implemented in the cEDM class, we did not seem to find in 21R2.Could you Please, kindly let us know what is the standard method which had been having the same logic as cEDM's PrintExecuteMultiple() method. Else, if it was a different approach used in Aurena/Cloud, could you please let us know that as well.I have herewith attached the files (cEDM) and the screenshot of the cEDM's method being used in the Uplift Customization for your reference. We would be muchly appreciated if you could let us know at the earliest. Ccing :- @EntHeshaH, @EntJanakB , @DinushaNuwan 

Can we use alternate screen layouts to create custom layouts for the Document Revision page in IFS Cloud as we did earlier? or do need to handle alternate screen layouts different in IFS Cloud?For more information see https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/21r2/In IFS Could Documentation 21R2, Basic Data Document Basic, Document Default Values is still a DB Column value for DOC_INFO_ALT_LAYOUT about definition of Alternate screen layouts are used to create custom layouts for the Document Revision page.Copy from Document Default Values:Defines the value of the alternate screen layout. Alternate screen layouts are used to create custom layouts for the Document Revision page. If this field is empty, the alternate screen layout option will not be available. If a value is given in this field, it should also be given as the Process for the Target field in the Properties of the new navigator item when creating a alternate layout. The value can only be set centrally (Document Basic/Document Default

Hi, We need to manage a process where an end user (IFS Cloud 21R2 today, soon 22R1) shall request access to a document and current users with access shall be notified and upon approval automatically have the requesting user granted access to the document. Anyone who have done a clever config or mod for this? /Tor 

Hi,Is it possible to control basic data selection in e.g. context in IFS Cloud as it is possible to control basic data in the profile, e.g. IFS8. It applies to several basic data in both DocMan and other IFS modules.Or is there another way to solve this? The point is that not everyone should have access to all document classes but only be able to choose those who are for the company you work in.The question comes from a customer where there will be several companies working on the same application.

Our Customer setup the Database as EDM-repository when they went live (Apps 10). Now, they need in addition some FTP Repositories for local storage acc. to local regulations.The setup was done, but the files remain in the database.Checking our “Help”, it is mentioned, that the file can only be stored in one repository!Which setup to be done to fulfill their local requirements as well?Thank you Wolfgang

HiI have in File types PDF as a View Copy file type in IFS Cloud.Apparently that prevents me from choosing PDF files when checking in a new document as original.Is there any way to come around that?Some files for example a CV from an Applicant in HR, will typically be uploaded as a PDF file from the start, and I want that checked in as a new document/kim

The customer has installed the Aurena Agent successfully and it can be verified from user settings page. Also from the console tab in background page for chrome extension I can see the below line got message from agent: {"method":"Hello","value":"Hi!","status":"SUCCESS","version":"0.1","guid":"32b83171-5db9-4c85-aa37-851c4c9fa5fa"}but when I try to view a document nothing happens and not even an error is raised. The last call in the log is below got message from agent: {"method":"GetLocalProperty","value":null,"status":"SUCCESS","version":"0.1","guid":"32b83171-5db9-4c85-aa37-851c4c9fa5fa"} When I compared it with an internal environment, it is missing the DownloadAndOpen method call. What could be the reason here? I have attached the log file for further reference

IFS version: Cloud21, R1: There was an earlier topic about the need to configure the attachment pane, so users have the option to use a more space efficient table view. (Similar to in IEE) Hopefully, that is on the development horizon. In the meantime, the card view really needs to display the document class and description. This is essential. Otherwise, there is no way for sure what the doc actually is, except to guess based on the title. A spec, a SOW, a test procedure? As this is a primary key for the doc, it is a must. 

Hello, We currently are using document management and approvals of documents.  When we start approval process on the document the approvers in the list of approvers on the document receive an email telling them about a document requiring approval and the document is attached to the email for them to view. We’d like to utilize the IFS Notify Me application so someone who may not have direct access to IFS can receive the notification of the pending approval request and ideally be able to approve or reject the document from the IFS Notify Me application. Is this functionality available within IFS Application 10 Update 8 or above?Do we need to define a custom action to accomplish the functionality? Regards,William Klotz

When setting up Repositories to shared network locations, can multiple Document Classes be stored in the same path?Repositiory ID = CSCDocument Classes 1,2 & 3 all go to the same network folder path.

Do you have a idea of the reason that explains why it appears the following error message after creation of a document from a template ?    

Hello,I’d like to ask for your help.Is it possible to transfer documents of a component (EngPartRevision) to an assembly part (EngPartRevision) ?I’ve checked in Object Connection Transformation, it seems impossible ...

In Document Management => Create document, I get errors when a document has too long filename. It made several lines. I also do not get any notification that the filename is too long.See attached screenshot of what is happening. The document with the long filename generates many lines (many new documents)I do not find that this has been reported before and will be fixed.Do you know anything about this @Mathias Dahl ? Linda:-)

The 21R2 documentation now makes a reference to a “File Storage Service” repository type. How does this work? How do I set this up? How do end users use it?https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/21r2/CreateAndMaintainDocument/ActivityEnterRepositoryLocation.htm  @Mathias Dahl(?) 

Hello,A customer of mine, is wanting to use object access as opposed to person groups for the project LU. I have set the object access level as View for Projects, Subprojects and Activity.I have been testing this access, and it seems that even though my user is not connected to the project and company- the user is still able to view the documents in the document revision screen.I would have assumed that if the user did not have access to the company, and project, that they would then not be able to view any of the documents associated to the project object LU. Do we have to use project access, with the object level access for this to work properly? Unsure as to whether the object level access is there purely to define the maximum level of access that can be granted, instead of actually controlling which users have access to the object defined.
