Use case 1 from the PDF above, carried out daily for incoming goods with Apps8:Scan a lot of Documents at once to PDF files. Open containing folder with many files For every single document do: Open in PDF viewer Find invoice number in document Open corresponding order in IFS Drag and drop PDF file to IFS, creating a new document The document gets deleted on hard disk by this It is helpful if the document gets deleted to be able to see directly what still needs to be doneThank you for taking on this topic, we will then wait and see which solution will be technically possible.
Attached notes for use cases from our key-user in engineering department wa.ochs@polytec.de and some more thoughts:I understand that dragging „something“ to a browser does not leave a javscript- accessible reference to that „something“ on disk, but only a copy of the contents.So the solution cannot be receiving the drop event with the browser, but instead receive it with a native windows application. In the moment of dragging over, a window must open on top of the browser (or possibly the dragging area) and snatch the drop event.The problem for the agent is to know the exact position of the dropping area on screen. The web application knows its coordinates relative to the viewport, but there seems no link between viewport coordinates and MS Windows screen coordinates. A trick could help: In the very moment of dragging over (dragover event), both, the web application in the browser and the agent could register the mouse cursor position. This establishes the needed link.
Thanks for your response!I know for example from https://email.t-online.de/ and https://www.printplanet.de/ that files can be uploaded there using drag & drop in the browser.We don't have any experience with the Aurena Agent yet, we plan our go live with IFS Cloud in April. From our evaluation of the Aurena Agent we see:• Files can be deleted from the directory with Drag&Drop. (“real move”)• The Aurena Agent helps with checking out/checking in documents. One use case is the creation of larger documents that are repeatedly checked out/checked in over several weeks, or when maintaining the same documents in the years that follow.From the point of view of our key users, it would be very helpful if drag&drop would be also available with Aurena Agent.

@Mathias Dahl :“We have got quite a few questions about this and we are thinking of enabling the drag and drop again, even if the Aurena Agent is enabled. The challenge is to make the users/customers understand the limitations that apply when using drag and drop while the Aurena Agent is enabled. We will try to come up with a solution that let's users use both features in a good way, possibly by adding some settings.”→ We would realy appreciate having drag&drop even if Aurena Agent is enabled!Any idea when we can expect a solution?Kai
Thanks! Good to know!
