Laserfiche Connector 10?

posted on February 17, 2016 • Show version history

I know at the conference this year it was mentioned that there would be future enhancements to connector that allow reverse capability (i.e. pushing laserfiche metadata to a 3rd party site or app).

However what a client of ours is looking for is the ability to fill out the metadata on a document that is already in laserfiche. I.e. Laserfiche Import Agent or QF agent brings in a document to a queue, a user looks up the information in a 3rd party site and uses connector to fill out the metadata automatically. Since the documents come in mixed and some of them will process automatically through Quick Fields or another process, they want to use this for all of the exceptions that come through.

This was mentioend as a possible future enhancement before last summer's release - is it potentially on the page for connector 10?

Hi Chris,

So long as there's some sort of ID or other way to reference the document, you can already do that into Laserfiche using the Connector 9.1 feature to apply or update template and field values to existing documents.

If you need it to be more generic then that (perhaps there isn't a way to reference the documents), then yes, Connector 10 can write data into the currently open documents metadata pane the same as it can write into an external application.

Thanks Justin. In our use case there is not any identifying information yet (otherwise we'd probably automate it on the back end).

Is Connector 10 still tentatively part of the SP 1 release this spring, or has it been moved until later this year?

Gotcha.

It will actually be either part of SP1 or earlier, depending on final validation.
