9.2. Laserfiche Repo

Laserfiche Repository Configuration

Laserfiche repository settings control the import of your completed LincDoc documents into your Laserfiche system.   This includes document storage considerations such as the folder destination as well as document indexing.

Prerequisites

You should have completed the following steps before configuring your Laserfiche repository mapping for your eForm.

  • Laserfiche has been configured with a field template suitable for your document fields.
  • The folder destination in Laserfiche for your LincDoc documents has been determined.
  • A Laserfiche connector has been installed and is currently running.  See the LincDoc Connector page for more information.
  • All eForm or document package fields are created.
  • A Laserfiche system repository has been created.

Configuring your eForm's Laserfiche repository 

  1. On the Repositories tab of your eForm's administrator interface, click on the new icon.
  2. Select the Laserfiche system repository from the drop down list to add it to you eForm repository table.
  3. Click on its edit button to open its configuration window.

 

Laserfiche Template

Select the arrow submenu button to define the field mapping from the LincDoc data entry process to the Laserfiche template fields.

The configuration screen has two parts. The LincDoc fields contained within the current eForm and the Laserfiche template fields that are read from the currently selected Laserfiche template.

  1. Select the Laserfiche template from the drop down list. Note: LincDoc reads the Laserfiche templates in real time.
  2. Select the Laserfiche field from the Laserfiche template field window.
  3. Drag and drop the Laserfiche template field to the LincDoc field. Note: The file types must match.
  4. Click save to save the changes.
Note: Please take care when mapping LincDoc fields to Laserfiche template fields.  Laserfiche fields often have input constraints which must be taken into account. If the input from the LincDoc field is too long the form will not be saved into the Laserfiche repository.
 

Laserfiche folder

Select the arrow submenu button to define the path location and file names LincDoc will use to write the eForm or document package to the Laserfiche environment.

This configuration screen is broken down into 3 panels.  The first panel displays the Laserfiche directory structure as read in real time.  The sections to the right define the token based file name and subdirectory definitions.

  1. In the Base folder panel, browse to the folder location where the files should be stored. Note: This must not be the same location as the LincDoc connector.
  2. Double clicking on the subdirectory will define the location in the path setting. The location can also be dragged and dropped into the path setting.
  3. Define the path location for the LincDoc data (HTML) file import. You must drag and drop the path location to this path setting. If left blank no data file will be imported into Laserfiche.
  4. Next, define any token based subdirectories. Simply double click on the token to add it to the path definition. If a token needs to be removed drag and drop it out of the path definition.
  5. Click save to save your folder settings.

Other tokens:

Token Name Token Description
username ($LDuserid$) The LincDoc user name
document Package ID $docpkgid$ Uses the current LincDoc eForm or Document Package ID
backslash \ separator that can be used to define a subdirectory
hyphen - separator that can be used in a file name
underscore _ separator that can be used in a file name
4 digit year ($YYYY$) The current four digit year defined by the server clock time
2 digit year   The current two digit year

custom string   Gives the ability to create a string to define a file name or subdirectory

Warning: Take care when using tokens that may have values which contain invalid file name characters (i.e. a date field of 9/1/2008 would be an invalid file name). Files with these names will not be imported into Laserfiche.

Store user uploaded files in Laserfiche?

Check this option if you would like uploaded documents for this form or document into Laserfiche.

Store TIFF and attach original?

Append TIFF images on update

This feature tells LincDoc to convert any uploaded PDF files to TIFFs, and then append them to the generated file for storage into Laserfiche.  Note:  This only works when the output format for the eform is set to TIFF.
