Upload Laserfiche Document/s to a Form

asked on August 17, 2018

Hi All,

 

I know this has been asked before, a few times:-

 

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/89932/Forms-Features--wish-list-for-SP1

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/91939/Is-it-possible-to-add-an-attachment-to-a-forms-10-by-using-Workflow-10#127893

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/136158/upload-document-from-laserfiche-to-laserfiche-form#136164

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/142074/Direct-scan-and-upload-from-Forms

https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/66587/why-doesnt-file-upload-support-travel-in-workflow#66589

 

But we've just run into this again for another customer. Unfortunately this a show stopping limitation in this case, and the customer (and myself to a certain degree) cannot believe that this still isn't possible. I know this is possible in the Laserfiche app, but not within the desktop version (where 99.9% of the users will be accessing forms internally).

 

This is a fundamental piece of functionality, in that you want to upload and pass around along side the process itself, reference documents or documents you want to change or add as part of this task/process.

 

Can we get a concrete answer as to when and if this functionality be available in Laserfiche Forms in the future?

 

Cheers!

Hello Chris, The only work around that i have been able to come up with is to have the workflow place the document as a pdf in a shared windows system folder, then insert a url to the business process form referencing the document.  This way when the user in which the form is assigned to clicks the link, the document will open in a browser window.  But, with that being said, this is something that i would have loved to see as out of the box option a long time ago.

Hi Glenn,

 

Thanks for this, yes we've also looked into some elaborate options using web access links etc. but this really should be 'out of the box' functionality, as it's pretty fundamental.

 

You can see how the conversation went down today....

Customer:- Can you upload documents to the form?

Me:- Yes absolutely.

Customer:- Ok cool

Me:- So where are the documents you want to upload?

Customer:- In my document management system, Laserfiche.

Me:- Oh....you can't add them from there.

Customer:-

Me:- blushfrown

Do we have any kind of timeline for this yet? 10.4 maybe?
