URL Integration with URL Creator

DocuWare URL Creator is a wizard, which creates an URL Integration in four steps. URL Creator adds the parameters, does the Base64-Coding and encrypts, the URL automatically, if desired.

The URL creator is part of the DocuWare Desktop Apps and can be downloaded like all other Client Apps from the DocuWare Client (Main menu > Install Desktop Apps).

Select URL type

Select WebClient Integration URL to create a URL intgeration for a DocuWare element.

WebClient Login URL creates a link to the Web Client, not to a singular element.

Parse URL analyzes the parameter of an existing URL integration and displays the related elements. Wrong parameters can be found easily and corrected.

Enter DocuWare connection

Scheme

Please enter the connection to the server (http or https).

Server Name

Here the path to the current organization is written: <your_servername>/<DocuWare>/<Platform>/WebClient

You find the path in the DocuWare Administration > System > Web connections

Organization GUID

With DocuWare version 7.1 the URLs generated by DocuWare contain the organization GUID instead of the organization ID. Existing URLs with the ID will work without changes also after the update.

Cloud customers can create an integration URL without any OrgGUID or specifying name, because the organization is encoded in the base address of the URL. The same applies for users of DocuWare on-premises when the system has only one organization. Only when a DocuWare system has more than one organization, an identifier is needed.

You find the organisation GUID in the DocuWare Administration > Organization > General

Encryption

Use Passphrase

To encrypt the integration URL, please enter the passphrase, which is entered in Administration > Organisation > General > Web Access - see also the screenshot above. With User random noise... the URL will be further encrypted.

Authentification

If there is no entry in this area, the user has to enter the DocuWare login to access DocuWare.

Include Credentials in URL

If a DocuWare login is entered here, the user can access the search dialog, result list or another element of DocuWare without typing the credentials.

Attempt Single Sign-On

The integration link authenticates the user using the identity provider as defined in the Organization settings.

Other Parameters

Specify the period, in which the URL is valid. If there is no entry the URL is valid infinitely.

Integration Type

In this tab the parameters are configured which call up elements of DocuWare like archived documents, result lists etc. Depending of the integration type there are different fields to be filled.

Viewer

This integration type can show automatically a document in the DocuWare Viewer. Customer have for example the possibility to read the latest price list.

Copy the GUID of a result list which finds the requested document. Enter this GUID in the field Resultlist Dialog guid. Even if the result list is not shown the search for the document is executed in the background.

This integration type displays only a single document.

Adding the search dialog parameter sed makes sure that the result list is delivered as in the web client – with every field restriction.

Notes:

  • A result list with a folder structure is not supported.

  • All fields queried will become part of the integration URL. If this URL gets too long, opening it will cause the browser to show an error. In this case shorten the query or use a Search, Result List and Viewer integration slrv.

Query with numeric fields

Please enter decimal points if you use decimal values in numeric fields. With a decimal point the query is culture independent an can be used with different culture settings.

Search

First you copy the GUID of the requested search dialog in the field Search Dialog guid. As a result list is assigned to each search dialog it is also used for the integration. Learn how to find the GUIDs At a glance: IDs of the DocuWare elements

Then you have the possibility to restrain the search results. Assumed the user will probably make a find in a certain department, tick the option Dialog Values and enter for example [DEPARTMENT]=Export. This field of the search dialog is prefilled with "Export". In case that the prefilling of the field does not fit the user can change or delete this entry at any time.

The field name has to be entered in square brackets. As field name please enter the database name of the field. Various fields can be combined with the &-symbol: "[FieldName1]=fieldValue1&[FieldName2]=fieldValue2".

Workflow Task

With the Workflow Manager installed there is a task list displayed in the Web Client containing the tasks to be fulfilled by an employee. Workflow Task integrates a single task in for example an accounting software. With some additional programming work the document assigned to the task will be opened in third party application.

You will find both IDs in the Platform Service under Organization > Workflow.

Workflow Task List

Different task lists are displayed for users with the role "desginer" or "controller". "Designer" is here the simple user who sees only the own tasks. The task list of a controller includes all not executed tasks, among others. Workflow Task List calls up these tasks lists in a third party application.

Specify the task list with the role "Designer" for the user or "Controller". The "Workflow-ID" defines the workflow configuration.More information in the help manual of the Workflow Manager.

File cabinet GUID is not mandatory. If you leave this field empty the info dialog is searched in all file cabinets. Loading can take longer in this case.

This integration type displays the index dialog of a single document.
