Attach Electronic Document does not import pages. It imports electronic documents. If given an image file, it will set it as the electronic component of the document.

 

You need a script to set pages in Workflow. Depending on the load you expect to have, you may want to look into using Import Agent instead as Workflow is not designed for long-running operations like importing documents or OCR.

If it is always the same image you can keep the document in Laserfiche and use move pages to copy the image page into the new document.

Already made that recommendation. 

 

The answer to this question is about how to implement a solution. We are not given a lot of information to help here, but this is a great use case for import agent or a form to submit a document.

I've had several clients who have needed to move documents in and I've used IA. If you use a script, it CAN work, but you run the risk of things breaking after an upgrade. Also, ff you do bring a large document in, or group, be sure to add a time delay to allow the full import before processing. One client is bringing in a main folder with over 200 items inside. A 10 min delay works perfectly. This may also help with his process.

 

If you have some skill at programming you could build a small app to bring in docs like IA does. This would also eliminate the possible scripting issue.

 

Easiest to use IA.

you can do this with built-in WF functionality.

 

"Attach electronic document" activity will help you out

Is this always the same image? or just the same path? If it's just that the workflow needs to make a new copy of this file inside of laserfiche for the process, you can store it inside of laserfiche and create a copy and store the copy inside another location where it is needed.

Is this always the same image? No. Another system send one image to a specific path

 

or just the same path? the path is same always .

 

The WF need import one image file with as same name as the LF Doc Name, stored in the local path.
