Adding a Laserfiche document as a new version to another document

asked on December 20, 2013

I was informed that this functionality was in works for the next release. However, I fail to perform this function on 9.1. Any reason why this is not a feature? it is odd that Laserfiche cannot add from its own repository but can from windows. Is it not considered a common use case? Any idea when this will be implemented?

There are extensive implications for this that we have never found good methods for implementing. How would metadata or field merging happen, for example? Which document wins out? There are a lot of questions like that. When coming in from windows, the new entry doesn't have any content that would need to be merged.

 

It is something we've looked at for each release, but it has very major implementation implications. Part of the problem is that everyone we've talked to seems to have a different idea how exactly they would use it and how exactly handling of potentially conflicting information should get handled.
