Add-ons for Text Fields
Add-ons allow you to integrate additional functions into enaio®.
The following add-ons are included with enaio®:
A Quickfinder field on an index data form is linked to a field of a different folder type or document type and can only be indexed with the data which has been entered there.
The user can open a URL which has been entered into the index data field in the standard web browser, or send an e-mail message using the standard e-mail program to an e-mail address specified in a field.
The user can select a date in the calendar.
The add-on multiplies the number entered in the field with a configurable factor and transfers it to another field.
The filing plan add-on attaches a number, a '/' character, and the current year to the indexing or parts of the indexing of other fields in a linked field. The number is incremented by '1' each time it is attached.
The counter add-on enters, similar to the filing plan add-on, the indexing or parts of the indexing of other fields, a counter, and the date or parts of the date in the add-on field.
The ID add-on creates a unique and consecutive number for the index data field.
The user add-on opens a list of all OS users and user groups.
The rights group add-on opens a dialog, from which you can select OS users and user groups. Access rights can be controlled using this add-on and corresponding clauses.
Starting with version 9.0, you can use the rights group control instead of right groups add-ons.
The user can start any program.
The user can start a limited search.
The user can transfer the index data of another object into fields of the index data form.
The catalog add-on can be configured as a list, tree, or hierarchy catalog. Multiple selection is possible for every catalog type. Unlike these catalogs, it is easier to activate the catalog add-on using scripts since it has a COM interface. The catalog data are saved in an XML file.
The database add-on queries a database table of an external database and transfers the data into the index data field and associated fields.
Via the optional VB Script Add-on VB scripts can be executed. VB scripts are customized for your individual needs by OPTIMAL SYSTEMS GmbH or created by you using the VBScript editor.
In the default settings, the add-ons do not write in 'read-only' fields or in supervisor fields. If you want to change this, enter the following in the configuration field: CANLOCK=0
The value CANLOCK=1 will switch back to the default setting.
Add-ons on forms which are opened as read-only are only executed if you have specified CANLOCK=0 as an entry in the configuration field.
With CANLOCK=2, add-ons on read-only forms are not executed. On non-read-only forms, the add-ons will be run even if fields have the property 'read-only' or 'supervisor field'.
Add-ons verify the entries in the associated fields before saving them. This can cause, depending on the add-on, user entries in add-on fields to be flagged as incorrect or automatically corrected. Verification can be turned off with the entry SKIPVERIFY=1 in the configuration field.
Add-ons with the property 'Execute automatically' are not verified.
Add-ons are not verified in enaio® webclient.
Running an add-on in enaio® client is interpreted as changing the index data, even if this is not the case. To change this, the configuration field of add-ons can be supplemented with the following entry:
[DATA]
RESULTOKVALUE=IGNORE
enaio® webclient does not completely support all catalogs and add-ons.
