Document Management (DocMan)

Hi,There is a threads in the category “Framework & Experience” regarding handling documents on different versions of the new migration tool Smart Data Manager.Maybe someone within the DocMan community have an answer to the following, which is part of a question I posted in that thread? (Please see the other post to get the context of the question.)“Will any or both of the versions be able to handle BLOB/CLOB data? Or in other words, possible to handle file data in DocMan which is stored as BLOB data.”(The wording “both versions” refer to Smart Data Tool (an add-on for IFS Apps 10) and Smart Data Manager (IFS Cloud), and whether this is correct I leave to the authors in that thread to cater for:) )/

But how to include this document in the email ?

My customer are in APP10 UPD12 using only Aurena client and MS AAD. They are going to start using the DOCMAN..Here is the question I received from customer “ I need to know the impact of Document Management on the system?  We are looking at approximately 1 million + documents per year.  What is the impact of using the default repository?  What options are available?  Ect" I have also read it in community note that “to over come the growing database concern, customer could opt for the other repository options which is already there in the document management.Those other options are FTP and shared folders (on the application server itself or on a network share).”But in another answer FTP and Shared document repositor

Hello,yesterday after power outage(restart all servers) we are not able to attach document to any IFS object (CustomerOrder, PurchaseOrder) that has diacritic in filename (NabídkaMŠ.pdf). We are not able even open(see) the documents, that have been already saved in IFS before (for example 3 weeks ago) and have diacritic filenames. The documents without diacritic we can attach and see in IFS.Very strange behaviour.Any help please?Jan West

For customer on APPS10, soon to be on IFS Cloud 21R1, On a work order, is there a way to get attached documents to print to a specific printer?In existing functionality where you can “Print attached documents” from work order guidelines, it will download docman document and then print to the default printer installed on device running the IFS application.Could it be possible to setup so that certain doc classes for example, gets routed to specific printers? Similar to our Printer Definition for operational reports functionality?Any ideas how to create such a modification, or configure it to do that? This is a question i have gotten few times by different customers. For example, drawings needs to go to a certain color printer, while work instructions or other attached pdf documents should go to a black and white printer in a different area. Ideally we would select a RMB, “print work order package” and print all attached documents, and depending on w

Hi,This is related to a prospect customization in Aurena App10 (UPD9):One of our Customers has a requirement to open documents (Word or Excel) in an editable mode once it is uploaded to IFS DocMan through the attachment panel. Then the User is allowed to do required changes to the document content, and upon closing the document it should be automatically checked-in to IFS.I would highly appreciate if you can respond whether this is a feasible solution or if you have any previous experience related to this.

Hi All,There is a request from a customer to customize the Attachments Panel in IFS Aurena (APP10 - UPD9),  to convert  the documents attached using the below options in the attachment panel as a PDF Document upon creating the document. This can be used for any of the file types (Word / Excel). Both Original version and the created PDF should be stored in DocMan. I would highly appreciate if you can respond whether this is a feasible solution or if you have any previous experience related to this

I need to give access to a user for a particular document classI did this using window “Document Management\Basic Data\Document Basic → Access Template tab”. i.e. Person is added to the document class and given view and edit access.After this security refresh still my user cant access the attachments done by other users. When this access is given to the user can he view documents attached in the application by other users as well?Or do I have to setup something else?  Do I need to give the “Docman Administrator” system privilege to the user to do this? version: Application 10 UPD 7

Hi,it's the first time that one of our customers would like to use DocMan with Aurena client. I’ve already learned that 'Document Import Action' will not be available. Are there any alternatives to customize an Outlook integration? (Panel functionality won’t be sufficient to meet customer’s expectation.) Are there more features or functionalities that are not available with Aurena? If you already have experience with it, it would be nice if you could share it with me. Best regards, Heinz

HelloWe are discussing about implementing Export Control in IFS 10.9 that we are using right now. Did a few tests with regards to PO and CO. Can anyone advise how does Export Control work with RMA (a test plan world be ideal - is it similar to CO? Denied Parties have to be excluded?)  DocMan before releasing a PO / CO, authorization by the Procurement / Sales Manager is mandatory in our business. In that case, do you think checking for Import / Export License can also be done during the authorization? (IFS Core functionality is checking for license at the release of PO / CO)Thank You.Cheers,Enzo

I want to copy a file that’s in Aurena (actually it’s in THOR) to a local directory.  But, I  am not seeing “Copy File” functionality.  Did it go somewhere?  I’m also not seeing this in a standard version that’s in a customer’s database.

A customer of mine (Karachi Shipyards-Pakistan) requests guidance in selecting a FTP server for DOCMAN. Is there any guidelines on specifications of a FTP server? May be on OS, Memory etc. Please share any document you may have on this. Thank you!

 When uploading one or multiple documents with specified document class, can system automatically place these documents into a document folder without manually specifying which folder? This means that document folder has been setup to be mapped to a document class.  Can a user or user group be given access to a Document Folder instead of by Document Class? If yes, once the user logs in, can the user only see the document folder where user has access to?  Can a person/person group see/filter only the document class that user has access to?   Is there a self-service portal for users - with a lobby where they can see only documents, document classes and document folder that user has at least view access?  Is it possible to see how many/what document views/downloads a user has done?  Is it possible to define the validity of user access to a document class/folder by person group instead of by person?  External customer w
