New Features
Document Communications
The initial phase of the Document Communications feature provides a template-based approach to standardised documents. A document includes some base attributes and allows client specific document formats to be defined through Extension fields and the related SSRS report. The preview and email of documents leverages the email Conversation panel with integrated Microsoft Office 365 email conversations to provide a view of sent and received emails (if Office 365 enabled on our AWS hosting platform). This feature is available under the Contracts or Subcontracts module.
Usage
The Document Communications feature is accessed from the Document List under the List menu. A new Document is created with the [+ New Document] button.
...
T. The ‘Edit Message’ link will display the data entry view of the content tab.
Generic Document Report
The standard ‘Document Register’ report type includes the wbDocumentRegister001-Generic Document Register format that displays:
A. Email – Recipient and Subject information. This is only visible in the after it is sent; and is not visible on preview.
...
Remember that for any Report Types to be visible they must be included in the relevant Report Groups.
Category Setup
The Category Hierarchy provides the customisable classification for a Document Type. Access this from the ‘Category Hierarchy’ page'Category Hierarchy' from the System Setup - Documents - Category Hierarchy menu.
• Select the ‘Document Register’ category as this is the base for all document type. If the ‘Document Register’ category does not exist, then use the [+ New Category] button.
...
• The order of items can be change by dragging the respective folder icon using the hand icon, or the sub levels expanded / collapsed by clicking the caret.
Document Type Email Template Setup
Use the [+ New Template] button to create a new email template or click on the respective template name to edit. Although an email template can be shared across document types it is recommended that a separate template be created for each document type for clarity. Access 'Document Type Email Templates' from the System Setup - Documents - Register Email Templates menu.
A template consists of:
• Name – unique name that is displayed when listing email templates for selection. This name must be unique to these templates.
• Subject – the email subject that is defaulted for this template.
• Body – the email body that is defaulted for this template, which supports basic html formatting as supported in the editor.
Statuses Setup
A list of Status options may be configured. This is from the Statuses screen for the type 'Document Register Statuses'. Note these are NOT document type specific but system wide.
Extension Columns Setup
The extension columns are setup in the standard manner with support for view conditions. Extension fields are defined for the 'DocumentRegister' Extension Type.
...
Multiple extension views are supported, so you may have generic attributes applicable to all documents (or the general Web Portal view) as well as document type specific attributes.
Document Number Setup
The control parameter ‘Document Register Number Template’ has a tokenised string definition for the Document Number. If the control parameter is not setup then the default number is the DocumentRegisterID.
...
The generated number may be refreshed unless the document has been sent.
Document Type Setup
The Document Type associates the respective element for the type. Access this 'Document Register Type List' from the ‘Document System Setup - Documents - Register Type List’ pagemenu.
• Type – This is the Category as setup in (B).
• Template – Select the Email Template as setup in (C).
• Report Type – You can use the ‘Document Register’ report type or the custom type is defined.
• Default Details – This is the default document body for this document type. Basic html formatting is available.
Datasheet Templates Simplified
The creation of Datasheet Templates has been simplified and no longer requires the questions to be created beforehand - the user can simply enters the Datasheet Templates List and creates or edit a template.
...
Now, the Question and its attributes are directly specified when setting up the template to provide a much simpler setup. The data structures are retained and the application auto-creates the required Question record in the background. This ensures that the new process is completely backwards compatible to any existing datasheet templates.
