Shared Folder

I convert the part drawings in AutoCAD into PDFs and upload them to IFS. When there is a revision, I delete the old file and re-upload the new one from scratch.

IFS'e gir -> Dosyayı bul -> Sil -> Onayla -> Yeni PDF seç -> Yükle -> Onayla
(Enter IFS → Find the file → Delete → Confirm → Select new PDF → Upload → Confirm)

This way, operators in production can view the drawings of the parts I upload under the same code while they are processing them.

Currently, there has been a change, and all the drawings I uploaded need to be deleted and re-added one by one under the same part code.

Instead of this, I would like the folder where we store the PDFs to be shared with IFS, so that when I make a change in the folder, the operator viewing it can directly see the updated drawing.

I would appreciate your help.

​@kubilay ,

    IFS does not support direct live folder linking for documents. The recommended approach is to use Document Management with revisions instead of deleting and re-uploading files.

    By creating a new revision and setting it as current, operators will automatically see the updated drawing. Folder-based auto-sync would require custom integration (e.g., IFS Connect or API), but is not standard practice.

​@kubilay please reference this post related to using hyperlinks (lnk and url files) in DocMan for accessing files stored outside of an IFS repository.
