Duplicate Check
When creating documents, a duplicate check can be carried out in yuuvis® RAD client. The duplicate check is carried out both when creating the document using the Plus icon in the yuuvis® RAD bar and when creating the document via drag and drop or copy and paste. Your system administrator can also disable the duplicate check in yuuvis® RAD management-studio.
With the duplicate check, a check is carried out on all object types and the entire filing system. The file type and size of existing document files are compared with the files that have been added. Different file names do not play a role in the comparison.
A duplicate check is not carried out if you add a document file later or replace a document file (see Adding a Document File Later and Replace document file).
Marking
If one or more duplicates are found during a check, the result is displayed in the in-tray with the message This document file has been filed ... times already. Click the message text to display the list of the document files that have already been filed.
If you want to add several files at the same time and have transferred them to the in-tray for editing as a batch, the duplicates are also marked with an Exclamation mark in the file list in the filing area.
Filing Duplicates or Link Documents
Files that are marked as duplicates in the in-tray can still be filed in the yuuvis® RAD filing system. The files are then available several times in the yuuvis® RAD filing system.
If you want to avoid having to file the same files multiple times, you can create link documents (see Link Documents). You can use the list of document files already filed to create link documents.
Removing Duplicates From the In-tray
If you want to remove a duplicate from the in-tray, select the corresponding object from the list of objects to be filed and click the Recycle bin icon in the header of the filing area, or select the
Deleting Link Documents action in the
Actions menu.
Duplicates that have been transferred to the in-tray as a batch with other files can be removed from the batch separately by clicking the Recycle bin icon after the relevant object.
