Question

Can we automate Refresh button in Ms Word application under Laserfiche Tab?

asked on October 8, 2015 Show version history

Note: This topic is mentioned in another link the was dealt with last year https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/51063/Update-Field-and-Tokens-in-MS-Word .    I wasn't sure if we should reply to closed topic?

 

Hi

I have a client that needs to  insert Version number token into word document from Token in Quick Content within LF integration tab in MS word.  Client Macro programmer was able to insert the Version number into the document through custom Macro.  Now the issue is that after saving the file with new version the value in the document is not reflected and the client has to press the Refresh button.    Even after user closes the file and reopens it the value of the field on the page is not latest version and user has to press the refresh button to update the inserted filed value.

 

The client needs the refresh button to Automatically adjust to the changes.  

1.  I couldn't find any way to automate this I was wondering it if Automating refresh is an option in Laserfiche MS integration plug-in?

2.  If this function is not available is it being addressed in application roadmap and will we have this function anytime soon.

 

This is a critical for our client which is a law firm and it seems its a critical feature for any legal firm.

 

I have specific request from client's  Macro programer that I will paste here:

 

 " It would be desirable that if there is setting to control the two part of that Auto-refresh independently:

a.  That is it one setting to cause the automatic updating of the property VALUES

b.  Another setting to cause the updating of the {DOCProperty} fields in the document after the property values are refreshed.

 

There are  situations where you will want to opt out of the latter and control that yourself. "

 

Thanks

Hi all,

Any update on this?

We really need to find a way to update/refresh the token to display correct version token number in word headers

Thanks

Laserfiche 10.1 supports the feature. Please set the user attribute "[OfficePlugin]AutoUpdateToken" as true, and then it will auto-refresh the tokens.

 

Thanks,
