Getting Ready for Version 8

At ECS we want the experience of the migration to version 8 to be painless to our customers. Upon notifying your Account Rep that you are interested in upgrading to version 8 ECS will provide a thorough analysis of the existing system to ensure the migration can be completed and with little surprises. A tech team will be assigned to your account for the pre-migration process and to review a checklist of items with your IT staff. Some of the items include:

 

·         Identifying hardware and application minimum requirements

·         Identifying read only volumes in Laserfiche

·         Obtaining a copy of just the database to run through the migration at our offices beforehand

·         Consulting on template fields with the new abilities in 8

 

Our intent of this pre-migration process is to provide a complete and successful migration from the beginning. Here are a few of the hardware and application recommendations:

Workstations

Windows XP SP2 or later

2 GB RAM or more on scan stations

1 GB RAM or more for other stations

SQL

SQL 2005

Server OS

Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1) or Windows Server 2008

E-mail Notification Schedules

After routing a document to a user or group, Workflow 8 enables you to configure an e-mail notification schedule that will remind the trustee to process the document. For example, a workflow routes an employee’s vacation request to an HR representative, then sends the HR employee e-mail reminders to approve/deny the request. The reminders are sent according to a custom notification schedule defined in the Workflow Designer. This feature ensures that trustees don’t delay a workflow indefinitely by failing to process a document.

You can configure the notification schedule in the following ways.

  • Initial wait. How long the workflow should wait after routing the document before sending the first notification e-mail.
  • Wait time. The amount of time to wait between each e-mail.
  • Count. Total number of e-mails that should be sent.
  • Exclude weekends and holidays. Whether the above settings should take into account holidays and weekends.

How do I use this feature?

The following Workflow 8 activities can take advantage of this feature: Route Entry to Folder, Route Entry to Group, and Route Entry to User. After adding one of these activities to your workflow, select the activity in the Workflow Designer and click the E-mail button in the Properties Pane:  . In the Routing Activity Options dialog box, select the E-mail tab. Configure the options shown in the screenshot below.

Custom Weekends and Holidays

By default, non-workdays include Saturday and Sunday. You can define different and/or additional non-work days by opening the Workflow Administration Console and expanding the Holidays node.

Click the Weekend Days node to configure the days of the week that should be considered part of the weekend.
Click the Official Holidays node to configure annual holidays that should be observed. For convenience, the following holidays have been created for you, but note that they are not active until you configure them.

Default Search Options in WebLink 7.0.5

Make it easier for users to find what they are looking for in WebLink! You can customize your Web Link installation to display specific search options when users view the Search tab. If search types are defined prior to viewing the Search tab, the choices users need to make will be limited, making it easier and faster for them to search. For example, you can lock down the search to only show the Text search so users don’t have to view all the different search types and decide which ones to use. To do this, modify the code in Search.aspx. Following the instructions below will result in only the Text search being displayed.

Note: The following instructions use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. If using a different programming environment, these steps may vary.

Note: Make a copy of the Search.aspx page just in case you need to revert to it.

To modify the default search options to only display the text search

  1. Browse to C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\WebLink 7\Web Files.
  2. Open Search.aspx.
  3. Find <weblink:searchform id=”TheSearchForm” runat=”server” Height=”100%” Width=”229px” 
    • Note: The values for runat, Height, and Width may vary depending on your individual settings.
  4. After this code, type
    AllowCustomization=”False” ShowText=”True” ShowWebLink=”False”
  5. Save Search.aspx.
  6. Navigate to WebLink (http://localhost/weblink7). If WebLink is already open, refresh the page.
  7. Click the Search tab.
  8. Users will only see the Text search.

Modifying and Creating Documents from the Thumbnail Pane

In the Thumbnail Pane of the Laserfiche 8 Client, you can work with individual pages of a document, rearranging them in that document or even moving them to other existing or new documents. This is helpful if you find that pages have been scanned out of order or organized incorrectly, or if you want to create a new document based on some components of an existing one.


Within a document, you can rotate, move, or copy pages.
To rotate one or more pages:

  1. Select the page or pages in the Thumbnail Pane. To select more than one page at a time, hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key while selecting.
  2. Right-click the pages and select Rotate Image(s).
  3. Choose Clockwise, Counterclockwise, or Upside-Down.

To re-order pages within a document:

  1. Select the thumbnails of the pages.
  2. Drag and drop them in the new location.

To create multiple copies of the same page within a document:

  1. Right-click the thumbnails of the pages you want to copy and select Copy.
  2. Right-click again where you want to copy them and select Paste.

You can also move or copy pages to another document.
To move pages from one document to another existing document:

  1. Open both documents in separate Document Viewers.
  2. Drag the pages from one Thumbnail Pane to the other.

To copy pages from one document to another existing document:

  1. Select the page or pages, right-click, and select Copy.
  2. In the other Document Viewer, right-click in the Thumbnail Pane where you want to place the pages, and select Paste.

To split one document into multiple documents:

  1. Select the page or pages you want to move to a new document, right-click, and select New Document.
  2. The New Document dialog box will open and allow you to configure the new document containing those pages.
