Nye funksjoner i InfoCenter 24.2

Microsoft Office and Outlook support InfoCenter for Office and Outlook require a version of Office that includes Edge Chromium and WebView 2 for the Office Add-ins feature.
Office versions that are using Trident and Internet Explorer for the Office Add-ins feature need to use InfoCenter for Office 23.3 or prior.
Browsers and webview controls used by Office Add-ins - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn
HTML document renditions

The InfoCenter document viewer feature has been enhanced to display a HTML rendition of the document contents instead of the browser providing the rendition of the document contents.

Example of a PowerPoint slide rendered by the browser in 24.1 or prior.

 

The same PowerPoint presentation with the HTML rendering in 24.2.

 

Note: PDF files will continue to use the browsers default rendering feature for this file type.

HTML Rendition configuration and MindServer Indexer:
The display of a HTML rendition of the document contents in the InfoCenter viewer is supported when MindServer is the indexer in the environment.

The following features do not need to be configured:
• These DM Server services do not need to be running:
o OpenText eDOCS Search Server FTMF Service
o OpenText eDOCS Search Server Runtime service
• The DM Server does not need a Search Server index to be configured for the library.

Warning when exceeding configured search results

The administrator can configure how many results are returned when a user performs a search in InfoCenter.

The user will be presented with a warning that the search they just issued exceeds the configured search results maximum and will be informed that they should narrow their search.

 

This is controlled by the Searches – MaximumRows in the Limits section of the RESTAPI.JSON configuration file.

Remember search sort order

When saving a search query, the sort order will be saved with the search. When subsequently executing the saved search, the results will be displayed with the same sort order.

If the sort order is changed when viewing the results, the user will see an option to update the saved search with the new sort order.

 

Saved search sort order logic:
The sort order for a saved search is mapped to the search form for the specific user. This information is saved the DOCSADM.SETTINGS table.

The new setting name is SavedSearchColumns and the ENTITY_LINK value is the system_id of the user in the DOCSADM.PEOPLE table and the SETTING value is the search form and sort order.

As an example with the LEGALQBE form saved with a descending sort on the LAST_EDIT_DATE will be saved as:

{"savedsearchcolumns":{"data":{"LEGALQBE":{"columns":["APP_ID","DOCNAME","DOCNUM","LAST _EDIT_DATE","lib","AUTHOR_ID","STATUS","relevance"],"sortDescending":"LAST_EDIT_DATE"}}}}

 

Search for Groups in InfoCenter Administration

An eDOCS Administrator will be able to search for a group when performing the configuration for of the General preferences, Home tiles, and Footer features.

The search will be performed against the Group short name and Group description fields.

 

Remove original from Microsoft Teams

n environments that are integrated with Microsoft Teams, the administrators and users will see a new configuration setting to remove the original document from Teams when it is saved to eDOCS or when a checked out document to Teams is checked back into eDOCS.

The administrator can set the default behavior and whether the user can override the configuration setting or not.

 

Save As new DM version

When the user opens a document into an Office authoring application that they received as an email attachment, from their local drive, from another business application, they will see the new document profile form in the InfoCenter panel. The user then saves the document as a new document to eDOCS.

After opening the document, the user may recognize it as an existing eDOCS that has been updated outside of eDOCS. They can now save it as a new version to an existing document in eDOCS.

The user will now see a new ellipsis (…) option in the InfoCenter panel and when selected will show them the new “Save as DM Version” option.

 

The user will be presented with the eDOCS locations that are available to save to.


They can then select the document and will be presented with the option to save it as a New version or New sub-version.

 

This new feature has to be enabled in the RESTAPI.json file. The ALLOW_SAVE_AS_DM_VERSION can be added to the UserSettings to enable the feature for all users or to the UserSettingsByGroup section if they want to enable it for specific groups.

“ALLOW_SAVE_AS_DM_VERSION”: “Y”
