Laserfiche is creating random names for imported files?

asked on May 16, 2023 Show version history

We have a few users who are trying to import PDFs into a repository, but the import tool automatically renames them weird names like _PHE_3H. Other users are able to import the same PDFs with no problem. All users are using the drag & drop tool, and are using the latest update to the web client. Self-hosted system. Has anyone seen this? Unfortunately, my Records department are the ones with the problem, so we really need to fix it. TIA!

 

Edited to add: I don't think it's actually a LF problem. I logged into LF on their computers, and the same "test" files were renamed. I then had one of the users log into LF on my computer, and she was able to import the files without them getting renamed. Still very odd behavior, but now I have our IT team looking at it. Leaving this post here in case anyone has any ideas.

Sounds like the place to start looking is the import settings for their individual accounts.

Could be something like an Import Profile for PDF documents since things like that can be configured to automatically generate the imported entry names based on patterns/variables.
