A.4 Upload Document Page

Access the Upload Document page by clicking Upload Document in the Tools panel in the Navigator Pane.

Note:

When uploading a document, be aware of the file size. File size limitations are primarily a factor when retrieving a document for viewing. System architecture, hardware limitations, network load and other factors can influence document retrieval times and cause the viewer to time out. Oracle I/PM has been optimized to store tiff image files of sizes to 200KB. If the documents you need to upload and view are larger than to 200KB, test the performance of those files in the specific network architecture you are planning to use while simulating peak network load.
Surrounding text describes upload_doc_007.gif.

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Element Description
Open Viewer Displays the Viewer in the Advanced mode next to the Upload Document page, replacing the Document Image field and Browse button. Use the Viewer to navigate to a document and to review and annotate a document before uploading. This is useful when you need to view the document to see the associated metadata to be entered, such as an invoice number or title, if you need to see the document to determine what application should be used, or if you want to annotate a document when uploading. Note that you must select an application and enter the associated metadata values before completing the upload.
Upload Submits the document and metadata to Oracle I/PM based on the selected application. When the document has been successfully uploaded, you will see a confirmation message. Clicking the confirmation message opens the uploaded document in the viewer.
Reset Resets the page and allows for another document to be uploaded. Click this to clear inaccurate information before submitting the document or to clear the information and confirmation of a successfully submitted document so you can upload another one.
Close Closes the Upload Document page and returns to the Welcome page or an open search tab if one or more searches have been run.
Select An Application Select an application in which to upload the document. This is a required field. Once an application is selected, metadata fields specific to the application are displayed. Application-specific metadata fields are determined when the application is defined and will likely be different for each application.
Document Image field and Browse button Enter the path to the image being uploaded, or click Browse to select the file. This is a required field. This field is replaced with the Viewer if Open Viewer is clicked, and the viewer is used to navigate and select the file to upload.

Note that if using your keyboard rather than your mouse to select the Browse button, use the Space bar to execute the Browse button function and open the dialog box. The Enter key does not execute the Browse button function.


A.5 Update Document Page

Use the Update Document function to update or add a new version of an existing document. You can create a new version of the document or update one or more application fields of the existing document.

From within a search results list, select a document and click Update in the Search Results toolbar. The Update Document window opens and displays the Original File Name, Document ID, and its application. To add a new version of the existing document, enter the path and name of the file, or click Browse to select it, and click Update. To update specific fields in the existing document, make your changes to the fields displayed and click Update. Upon successful update, you will see a confirmation message.

It is recommended that you lock a document prior to updating it in order to prevent others from updating the document at the same time. You can easily lock a document from a search results listing using the contextual menu or search results toolbar. If a document is locked before being updated, the Keep Lock check box is displayed at the bottom of the Update document page. Select to keep the document locked after it is updated.

  • Add: If the object you are importing the definition of does not exist on the system you are importing to, then the action taken is to add the imported definition file and create the object.

  • Overwrite: If the object you are importing the definition of exists on the system you are importing to, then the action taken is to overwrite the existing definition file with the imported definition file.

Note that you must take existing input definitions offline before you can import a definition to overwrite the existing input. You take an input definition offline and online by clicking Toggle Online on the Input Summary page, accessed by clicking the input name in the Manage Inputs panel.

Applications, Inputs, Searches Sections Each application, input, or search is listed under the appropriate heading.
Repository When importing an application definition into a system where the application is not currently defined, for example from a test environment to a production environment, use the Repository picklist to select the repository to be used by the application.

A.13 Import Definitions: Validate Imports Page

After all selections are made on this page, click Submit. The definitions being imported reference multiple system-specific items, such as security groups, storage devices, and repository connections. All of these items are referenced by name. As long as items are named correctly between the two systems, importing definitions will be successful with no additional adjustment. By the time the Validate Imports page is displayed, Oracle I/PM has validated each of these system-specific items to determine if the definitions can be imported as provided. If the definitions are valid, the Successful Validation icon (a check mark) will display in the Status column. If not valid, the Validation Failed icon will display. If a failure occurs, click the expand button to see details. Change options or verify that users and groups exist on the target system and click Submit again. If you receive a system error message, review log files to determine the problem.

Access the Import Definitions Select File page by clicking Next on the Import Definitions: Select Imports Page.

Surrounding text describes import_validate.gif.

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Element Description
Submit Click Submit to import the selected application, input, and search definitions.
Status A Successful Validation icon or Failed Validation icon is displayed indicating whether or not to proceed with importing the definition or definitions.
Action Specifies the action being taken with the import. Options are:
  • Add: If the object you are importing the definition of does not exist on the system you are importing to, then the action taken is to add the imported definition file and create the object.

  • Overwrite: If the object you are importing the definition of exists on the system you are importing to, then the action taken is to overwrite the existing definition file with the imported definition file.

Application Name of application from which definitions are being imported.
Security Select from the following security options:
  • Use Imported: Select this option to use the security information defined in the export file.

  • Current User: Select this option to allow only the current user permission to modify which groups and users will be granted permission to the definition. This will allow the definition to be imported and this user will then be able to modify later which groups and users will be granted permissions to the definition.

  • Valid Entries Only: Select this option for Oracle I/PM to check the security information in the export file and only pass entries that are valid for the target system. For example, if the file specifies user UserX but the target system does not recognize that user name, then UserX will not be configured in the target system.

  • Choose New: Select this option to allow the user to select a user or group to be the only one with security to the definition. Similar to the Current User option, this selected user or group will be able to later modify which groups and users will be granted permissions to the definition. The user or group is selected by choosing the name from the popup dialog window that is launched when you click the Edit icon next to the Choose New picklist. When a user or group is selected, the Security and Document Security picklist is populated with the new user or group name.

  • Use Existing: Select this option to use the existing definition security, ignoring the configuration in the imported definition. This option is available only for definitions that already exist on the system.

Document Security Select from the following options:
  • Use Imported: Select this option to use the security information defined in the export file.

  • Valid Entries Only: Oracle I/PM checks the security information in the export file and only passes entries that are valid for the target system. For example, if the file specifies group GroupY but the target system does not recognize that group name, then GroupY will not be configured in the target system.

  • Choose New: Select this option to allow the user to select a group to be the only group with security to the definition. The selected group will be able to later modify which groups will be granted permissions to the definition. The group is selected by choosing the name from the popup dialog window that is launched when you click the Edit icon next to the Choose New picklist. When a group is selected, the Security and Document Security picklist is populated with the new group name.

  • Use Existing: Select this option to use the existing definition security, ignoring the configuration in the imported definition. This option is available only for definitions that already exist on the system.

Storage Policy Select from the following options:
  • Use Imported: Select this option to use the Storage Policy options defined in the export file.

  • Use Existing: Select this option to use the existing Storage Policy settings, ignoring the configuration in the imported definition. This option is available only for applications that already exist on the system.

  • Use Default: Select this option to clear out the Storage Policy options and use the system default.

  • Additional Choices: If there are specific storage options defined in your system, such as Network Attached Storage, they are appended to the list in the Storage Policy field.

Workflow Select from one of the following options:
  • Use Existing: Select this option to use the existing workflow settings, ignoring the configuration in the imported definition. This option is available only for applications that already exist on the system.

  • Use Imported: Select this option to use the workflow configurations defined in the export file.

  • Clear: Select this option to remove all workflow configurations for the application.

  • Additional Choices: workflow connections defined for the target system are listed here. Different systems may connect to the same workflow server but have different names for the connection. Because the input file being imported specifies the workflow connection name of the original system, selecting the name of the target system workflow connection ensures proper field mapping between the two.

Full-Text Option Use Existing: Select this option to use the existing Full-Text configuration, ignoring the configuration in the imported definition. This option is available only for definitions that already exist on the system.

Use Imported: Select this option to use the Full-Text options defined in the export file.

None: Select if full-text is not configured.

Access this page by clicking the Create New Search icon on the Manage Searches panel in the Navigator Pane. Expand the Manage Searches panel to view the Create New Search icon.

New Search Properties page

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Element Description
Search Name Enter a descriptive name for the search. This search name will be displayed to users under the searches panel of the navigator pane and must be unique to Oracle I/PM.
Description Enter a description of the new search. The description is displayed when the cursor hovers over the search name in the navigator pane. The field contains a maximum of 1000 characters.
Instructions Enter helpful information about what criteria is being searched for and how a user should use the search. These instructions are available on the search form and also appear on the Search Tab display. If no instructions are defined, the Instructions section is not displayed on the search form. The field contains a maximum of 1000 characters.
Maximum Search Results Select the maximum number of rows per application a search will return before stopping. The search can span multiple applications, which are selected on the Search Results Formatting Page. The default is zero which means that the search will use the maximum results value set on the server.

A.16 Search Results Formatting Page

The Create Search Results Formatting page is used to format how search results are displayed. Searches can be limited to one application or span multiple applications. For example, you can create a single search that returns purchase orders from a Purchase Order application and invoices from an Invoice application.

Access the Create Search Results Formatting page by clicking Next on the Create Search Properties page or by clicking Results Formatting on the Navigation Train.

Surrounding text describes search_results_format.gif.

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Element Description
Source Application Specifies the application to be searched. The application selected determines the criteria fields available. Only applications to which you have View security rights are listed.
Field Columns The second and subsequent columns represent the columns of metadata and system fields from the searched applications that appear in the search results. Metadata fields are created in the application when the application is created or modified. System fields are created by the system, including Document Id, Document Creation Date, Document Created By, and Document Batch Id.

Selecting a search field populates the column header with the name and enables the next column. Clicking the pencil icon allows you to modify the column name to something more descriptive. For example, if fields with different names from multiple applications are aligned in the same column, such as Vendor Name and Company Name, you can change the column title to account for both.

If searching multiple applications, aligning like field types in one column can facilitate sorting search results. For example, a purchase order application may have a field named Account Number that corresponds with a field in an invoicing application called VendorID. Aligning the fields in the results allows you to click on the header to sort the results so that invoices and purchase orders from the same company are grouped.

Note that when aligning fields from multiple applications, be careful to align only fields of the same field type, for example, date fields with date fields and text fields with text fields. Failing to align fields of like types can cause errors when sorting search results.

Column Options Icon Clicking the Column Options icon in the column header displays the following options:
  • Modify Column Name: Allows you to rename the column header.

  • Move Column Left: Moves the column one space to the left.

  • Move Column Right: Moves the column one space to the right.

  • Delete Column: Displays a dialog window asking you to confirm deleting the column.

Remove Application Icon Clicking the Remove Application Icon next to the Source Application displays a dialog window asking for confirmation to remove the application from the search.

A.17 Search Conditions Page

Specify the conditions to be applied to each document in the searched applications to determine if they should be shown in the search results. Each condition contains three parts: the application's metadata field, the operator used for the comparison and the data value to be used. These conditions for each application can be grouped using parentheses and combined using the conjunction operators (and/or) to form complex conditions.

Access the Create Search Conditions page by clicking Next on the Create Search Results Formatting page or by clicking Conditions in the Navigation Train.

Surrounding text describes search_format_cond.gif.

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Element Description
Application Selection Select the application to add or modify search conditions for that application.
Move Up Arrow Moves the selected condition up one row.
Move Down Arrow Moves the selected condition down one row.
Delete Condition Icon Displays a dialog window requesting confirmation to remove the selected condition.
( Opening parenthesis for beginning conditional grouping.
Field Selects the application field to be used in the condition.
Operator Selects the operator used for the search. Available operators depend on the data type of the application selected.
Value A search condition value is the value that the selected Field is being compared to. This value can be one of the following:
  • Static Value: This is a value that does not change. The selected field is compared directly to this value. For example, Text_Field1 = "Hello". Note that leaving a blank value for a static value deletes the condition. Search execution always drops conditions that have no value.

  • Relative Date: This value represents a number of days from the current day. The value can be positive or negative. When the search is executed, the value is calculated from the current day. For example, Relative Date +7 is one week from today.

  • Logged in UserID: This value represents the userid of the user executing the search. The user's textual userid is used when the search is executed.

  • Parameter Value <name>: This value represents a value that is to be provided by the user when they execute the search.

  • Create New Parameter: This creates a new prompt for information that maps to one or more conditions. It also allows you to create a new parameter, which is useful if you map a condition field to an existing parameter and then the business need changes. For example, if you have driver and co-driver fields mapped to one parameter named Driver, and now need them split, you could remap the co-driver field to a new parameter named Co-driver.

Modify Value Icon Displays a dialog window with options for modifying value types.
) Closing parenthesis for ending conditional grouping.
Conjunction Logical operator for grouping together the smaller condition elements.
  • And: Both search conditions must be met for the document to be returned.

  • Or: Either condition must be met for the document to be returned.


A.18 Search Parameters Page

Specify the parameters for conditions used in a search. Values can be set as default or to read only, and picklists can be used to define parameter choices. The Create Search Parameters page is accessed by clicking Next on the Search Conditions Page or by clicking Parameters on the Navigation Train.

Surrounding text describes search_format_params.gif.

The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Move Down Arrow Move the parameter down in the list. The ordering in this list corresponds to the presentation the user will see on the Search Form page.
Parameter Name Specifies the parameter name.
Prompt Text Specifies what is listed on the Search Form page to prompt the user. This information can be edited to provide more descriptive text to the user.
Modify Operator Properties Icon Clicking displays the Operator Properties Dialog Box for making additional operator options available to a user when searching.
Modify Default Value Icon Displays a dialog window for specifying a default value for the parameter. The value you enter is of the same data type as the parameter. Defaults for date data type will have two choices: Static Value and Relative Date. Defaults for text data type will have two choices: Static Value and Logged in UserID. Picklists can also be used to choose a default value if a picklist was defined for the application and the picklist is enabled in the Picklist column.
  • Text Value: Value will validate using textual rules.

  • Date Value: Value will be validated using regional date settings.

  • Number Value: Value will be validated as a whole number.

  • Decimal Value: Value will be validated as a number.

  • Relative Date: Value will be calculated as the number of days from today and the date value from that day displayed. The value will then be validated as a date.

  • Logged in UserID: The current user's userid will be placed into the value and validated as text.

Picklist Enable to allow users to choose from defined parameter values or to use the picklist to define a default value. Defined values for a picklist are created when the application is created.
Required Enable to require users to enter a parameter when using this search.
Read Only Enable to prevent a user from modifying a parameter. This is similar to the static value on the Search Conditions Page but allows the user to see the value being used. If the parameter is set to Read Only, but has no default value specified, the condition is effectively deleted from the search because the user has no way to specify a value.

A.18.1 Operator Properties Dialog Box

The Operator Properties dialog box allows two things:

  • If Allow user to choose operator is disabled, you can change the displayed text for the operator prompt. For example, you can change the < symbol to the text Less Than. Changing the prompt text does not change the behavior of the operator. For example, changing the = sign to the text Not Equals still returns results equal to the specified value.

  • If Allow user to choose operator is enabled, you can allow users to select from multiple operators.

The Operator Properties Dialog Box is accessed by clicking the Modify Operator Properties icon in the Operator Text column on the Search Parameters Page.

The input mask supports regular expressions in addition to the * or ? characters for masks. For example, specifying an input mask of abc*|*.def pulls all files starting with abc or ending in .def. Specifying an input mask of [abc]try.lst pulls files atry.lst, btry.lst, and ctry.lst, but not dtry.lst.

WARNING:

Each input's mask should resolve to a unique set of input files that do not overlap the masks of other inputs. Input Agent only processes an input file for one input and will not restage a file to be processed again for a different input definition. The order in which inputs are processed is random so it is unknown as to which input will pick up a shared input file.
