How are documents that are attached to web forms managed by Laserfiche?

asked on April 6, 2015

We have a two step process whereby a public form is submitted with documents attached, and then held up until a licensed user logs in to Webforms and approves the form.  At that point, a workflow kicks in to retrieve the data and the documents and houses them appropriately in the repository. 

My first question is where are those attached documents stored after the form is submitted but before it is approved and the workflow kicks in. 

My second question is, if they are stored on the web server, or wherever they are stored, does this file get deleted after the workflow kicks in to store them in the repository.

We are concerned we may have duplicate copies of confidential forms stored somewhere we are not aware of.

Thanks for your help

Kathy

The documents are stored in the SQL database associated with Forms. They are not deleted when you import them into Laserfiche as Forms still needs to be able to display them when a user looks at the form.

Still saved in SQL with Version 10.1?

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to delete these documents stored on the DB without deleting the process history or breaking the form when being displayed? We're looking at a way to do this in order to keep the database size to a minimum.

Thank you.
