How to Display a Watermark with Username When Opening or Printing Documents in Laserfiche 12question

Laserfiche Web Client Version 12 Administration Self-Hosted

asked on September 3

Hello Every one

I am currently using Laserfiche version 12, and I would like to configure a watermark that displays the username of the person who is opening or printing a document.

So far, I have successfully configured the watermark settings, including the text, color, rotation, and position under the Tag Watermark settings. However, I need guidance on how to ensure that this watermark appears

Thank you in advance for your support.

It sounds like you want to use user or group watermarks, not tag watermarks. Tag watermarks are more for ad-hoc watermarking, based on the presence of a tag. Group watermarks are intended to be much more wide-reaching and could be applied to the everyone group (or some other internal group in the repository) to apply to everything from a large range of users. See Group Watermarks and the various subpages (v11 docs, but same applies in 12).

If you have the Watermark Text already configured on the tag you just need to ensure the document has that tag assigned to it and it will appear when opening and printing (and exporting). If the tag isn't applied you won't see the watermark.

You can also apply watermarks via Tools > Options for downloaded and printed documents but it only allows you to specify text and not tokens (i.e. username). There is also an option to apply a text watermark to a group but I'm not entirely sure why/when that would be used.

Thank you very much for your response.

I just have one question: How can I apply the watermark I’ve configured to all documents at once? I’ve already added the necessary tags and set up the watermark text.

My concern is how to apply this to all documents in bulk — assuming I have millions of documents. Also, does the watermark apply to all types of documents?

You could use a workflow to search for the documents to be tagged and add it that way. It will take a while to apply the tag to all those documents but using on-premise workflow it should apply the tags at a rate of 20K/hr+.

Watermarks only apply to image documents though - they won't be applied to all types of documents. I can't see how Laserfiche could do this though - especially for the likes of Word/Excel etc.
