Unique File Name for Documents saved from Form

asked on April 13, 2018

Hello,

We have created a Form – General Upload Form which is being used to upload documents to Laserfiche. The form has a collection including an upload button which are mapped on the metadata fields onto the repository.

 Documents uploaded on the forms are stored in a staging area in the Laserfiche repository. We have created a workflow (called within the business process) which moves the documents from the staging area and classify them under the corresponding folders.

 The process works fine till all the uploaded documents have a unique name. In case someone adds a document of the same name twice, i.e. fill in a collection + upload Doc 1, fill in another collection + upload Doc 1, the first uploaded document is moved but second document stays in the staging area as Doc1(2).

 

Any if there is any means to have the documents saved with a unique name on the staging area?

 

Regards,

Vimal

You may want to use WF to add the EntryID to the file name  before moving the documents uploaded.  The EntryID should be unique no matter what the uploaded file name is.  You could add it to the start of the filename such that 'EntryID_Doc1' Then you could move the files based on EntryID or use 'for each entry'...
