Document Management (DocMan)

Hi All,It was found that the installed "IFSAurenaAgent.exe" in localappdata is an unsigned executable, and this was getting blocked by the customer's Security Restriction Policies (they do not allow unsigned applications to run in their system).Customer manually allowed the "IFSAurenaAgent.exe" in their security policy, and the Aurena Agent worked afterwards.Will need to know  whether this executable has been signed in future release, or if there is a different workaround to running this application in any environments with such security policies in place.  Thanks & Best Regards,Nipun

Hi, There's a requirement from a customer to preview the  attached documents in a separate pane(like we can preview documents in file explorer).  Example: The customer wants to preview the attached documents in purchase order window, before sending them to the supplier. Have you come across such kind of requirement? Any suggestion ? (Note: Using IFS Cloud ) Thanks in advance. kind regards,Yashodha. 

I have got a user who is trying to open PDF-documents from IFS, but they always open with Notepad, and not the default program which is Adobe Reader. I have checked his computer and his default apps settings, everything seems to be right. But still, the PDF-docs gets opened with a Notepad, no matter from which module inside IFS. This is affecting only this user and only his PC. If he log in from another computer, then they get opened correctly  with Adobe Reader. Also: when he opens PDF-docs from other applications inside his PC (eg file browser), the docs gets opened correctly with Adobe Reader. So this is really confusing. Any help is highly appreciated. This is IFS8.

Is there a way to allow a user to enter a Document Number (or revision number) when they they are creating a new document in Apps 10 Aurena via the “Create New” button? On the “Document Default Values” screen, there is a setting called “ATTACH_CREATE_NEW_FORM”. The help system states…This value determines the dialog that will be opened when the New button in the Documents Attachment panel is clicked. Possible values are Create Document Assistant, Create New Document and Create Documents.  We set this to “Create Document Assistant” and this had the expected effect in EE. When we click the “Create New” button in the attachments panel of EE, the “Create Document Assistant” opens and allows the user to specify full details for the document they are creating (e.g. Doc Class, Doc Number, Revision Number, Format, Title, etc.)However, this setting doesn't seem to have any effect in Aurena at all. When we click the “Create New” button in Aurena, the standard “Create Document” dialogue box is o

Hello, we are moving to Aurena and are currently using Apps10, update 10 IEE.In the Relationship Management> My Call Center> New Case screen, it shows a document can be attached. It appears to upload correctly, but when the case is saved, an error pops up and reads: Going to the case details from here and adding the attachment works. This post was found for adding Object Connections in IEE and I can see where the projection matches an option: However, “MY” Case doesn’t exist in IEE. Therefore, can’t be added there. In Aurena, the New Case wizard doesn’t show a projection that I can add, nor does Aurena have an Object Connections screen.Does anyone know of a solution for adding these in Aurena?Thanks,Jeff Nattermnn

How can we avoid creating a new Document Revision based on a previous Document Revision without a copy of the view copy.

Hello,I’ve downloaded the attached PDF document and text block for a Macro that is designed to use the ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat function.  I believe this is able to be used in the 21R1 and 21R2 versions of Aurena as long as the Agent is installed.Has anyone actually incorporated this macro into a 21R database?  Is the function to ExportAsFixedFormat, which is for Word in the example, also the same for Excel?Thank youPatrick

Hi All,Is there a way to change a document class on an existing document? Or, is there a process that can transfer a document to another document class?For example, we have Doc No BYC-12E-10-XX-XX (1 OF 2) that is in doc class ENG-243 that should really be in ENG-248.

Is there a way to create a template within the Document Folder Navigator? We don’t currently keep our documents for our projects in IFS, but would like to move towards that. We use the same folder structure for each project and rather than having to create the folders each time, if we could create a template and then copy it, it would save a lot of time.

Hi All,We are using document management '>' approvals to approve new objects.  Currently some of the users included in the approval have access to more than one company.  If the users default company doesn't match the company attached to the object, it takes him to the object screen(When RMB’s and selects Object Info) but it’s blank because his default company is different.  Users have to change global company multiple times to approve these objects. Do we have a method to overcome the issue and access to multiple companies? Thanks & Best Regards,Nipun
