It's available in the public documentation site for IFS Cloud. Just search for Office Add-In there and you will find it.

Let me know if it doesn't work out for you.

Hi Yashoda,

The overall capabilities and how to install our Office Add-In should be described in our documentation. Was there something in there that's not clear?

Hi,

URL for the IFS Cloud 21R1 (customers cloud environment) :)

I have  another issue at  the moment:grimacing: . When I press 'Save as new document’ in Add-In, it opens the correct cloud environment and the file is attached as shown below. Issue is, I cant continue as the buttons are not enabled. Can you guess any reason? 

 

 

kind regards,

Yashodha

Thanks!

Yes, that's a known bug that I think is fixed.

I also think there's a workaround, but I don't remember what it is. @Mayura Wasantha do you remember?

I agree Mathias. Bug is being fixed now in21R2. We have to refer @Gayani H  to know the the workaround. :grinning:

Hi Yashodha,

As mentioned in your comment are you trying with an environment URL of 21R1 as the “From URL” in the Settings? Office Add-in functionality is available in IFS Cloud from 21R2 onwards. It’s not available in 21R1. 

If you are working with 21R2 or 22R1, there was an issue of Next and Finish buttons not getting enabled in the assistant if a value is not defined for DOC_CLASS in Document Management>Basic Data>Document Default Values. We have recently fixed it in 21R2 SU4 and 22R1 EA. So that issue should not be there now. The workaround for that is to have default value defined for DOC_CLASS in Document Management>Basic Data>Document Default Values.

Regards,

Gayani.

Hi @Gayani H , Thank you for the information.
Yes I'm  using 22R1. I'll define a default value and  try again.

kind regards,

Yashodha.
