Hi,

I want to create a button on Laserfiche Client that call a Laserfiche Forms.

The idea is to read the entry ID 'selected' ==> Click the Button in the Client and Execute the Laserfiche Forms in order to modify or Add some metadatas in the Entry.

For example, if i have an Invoice Template that need to be Complited, I want to Select it in the Client and call a Laserfiche Forms to fill the Metadatas and assign it to the Starting entry via Worklfow.

Is this Supported by LF10

Thanks

To configure custom toolbar buttons to call a specific URL

https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/userguide/#../Subsystems/client_wa/Content/AppearanceFunctionality/Custom_Toolbar_Buttons.htm

To pass parameter to the form put in the command "[Internet Explorer Location ]"[FormURL]?[VariableName]=[Token]

example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" localhost/forms/form1?id=%(FolderName)

Now if you want to retrieve the metadata information in the form you should lookup the repository database

Finally if you want to update the metadata in Laserfiche you should use the workflow.

Hi Ahmed,

Can you clarify the use case a bit? I'm not clear on the need for having Laserfiche Forms involved. It sounds like if the user selects a document, they can view its metadata (from the toolbar button or the context menu) and make any changes as needed. Then have a Laserfiche Workflow with a starting rule that gets triggered based on the metadata change.

If the process is more involved than that, can you explain further?

Regards

You can use:

explorer "http://localhost/Forms"

Using the absolute program files path might cause some problem
