I have noticed that IFS10 documentation which was available in https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/ is news removed. As a consequence, the links pointed to IFS10 technical documentation in forum questions are no longer working and forum members won’t have a common documentation to refer. Hope forum moderators will act on this.

How can I subscribe to KBA

Hi Why do I get this message when trying to private message someone in the community? My post does not come close to containing 10000 characters in the form of text. Thanks AS

Hello, For the attention of IFS customers: Do you have an increase in the quality of the support service by switching to Gold contract or to Platinium contract? Thanks for your reply !! Arnaud G.

I see points listed on the leaderboard. How do you earn points?

Hi, This is about the way we use this community portal. I would like to filter answered questions, to review only open topics - and could not find a way to do it. Is there any way? What do you think - if it is not possible now - would it be useful?

There are several questions within the community where a link that begins with wit.ifsworld.com or docs.ifs.com has been offered as part of the solution. But when members click that link, they’ve been unable to login to see the content - even if they’re a customer or partner. Here’s why - and how you can access the same content, in your own IFS instance: wit.ifsworld.com is an IFS internal system and is not intended for non-employees. UPDATE* - docs.ifs.com is now public (Aug 2020) Here’s how the wit links can be tweaked to work for you: Replace wit.ifsworld.com with your server info at the beginning of the URL. Example: Apps 9 Navigate to landing page e.g. http://SERVER_URL:PORT/ifsdoc/f1doc/ Copy the wit/docs-link from ‘Foundation1’ and paste after your server URL e.g. https://wit.ifsworld.com/f1docs/apps9upd15/Foundation1/040_administration/255_business_intelligence/040_BI_Analysis_Package/300_BIAnapacConfigLookup.htm becomes http://SERVER_URL:PORT /ifsdoc/f1doc/ Foundation1/040_adm

I was trying to figure out a learning pathway for an SCM Consultant and noticed this. Can someone from the academy confirm that the above order is what I should follow to get all the certifications related to SCM? Are there any other basic trainings to complete before following the above order? After I complete the above order of courses only, can I get the ‘Certified IFS SCM Consultant’ title?

What would be the best approach to remove a user from the support portal, when they’re not longer with the company? It seems to be a well defined process to register new users but no way to remove/inactivate one once registered. I opened a support “question” ticket and it takes more than 3d to follow up. Some of the people who need their access removed might do damage if not acted sooner. Is there any known path to follow?

Happy New Year Community! I hope everyone enjoyed a break over the holiday.

October marks the 1 year anniversary of the IFS Community! In October of 2019, we launched the IFS community at WoCo. We knew that our customers and partners wanted a way to connect that was outside of the normal channels. You needed a place to ask questions and not just hear from us, but hear from each other. Our intention has always been of fostering collaboration and creating shared knowledge. We hoped you would use this site - and we’ve been thrilled that you have! This year has seen so much engagement. Here are just a few of the things that happened: Our members are what make our community worthwhile, so thank you to you all! Whether you come with questions, or come to answer them, your contributions are appreciated. The knowledge provided by our customers, partners, and employees has created 50+ heroes, with nearly 100 sidekicks. Thank you to those who come and take the time and effort to help other members. We’ve been able to look at the questions you’ve asked and the solutions

Anyone on top what will happen with the old IFS forum called Open IFS? https://open.ifsworld.com/forum/default.aspx Still seems to be active discussions going on there, and no comments about switching to the new community.

With 2020 came a lot of great stats - including our 2020th member joining, @pnaughton ! He’s snagged the one and only 2020th badge. I’m really excited by the growth we’ve seen in just 3 shorts months since our launch at WoCo. Here are a few worthwhile stats: We have 2000+ members! We’ve had 600+ topics created, and 1800+ replies. Nearly 3000 likes have been given. 16 heroes have been recognized. Thank you all for being members of our community! Let me know what you’d like to see in the community in the upcoming year or what goals you have for 2020. Looking forward to working with and getting to know you all!
