TechnologyOne ECM

The following information details the connectivity and functionality offered by the EzeScan integration with the TechnologyOne ECM solution. It details the available options and how to configure an EzeScan job into TechnologyOne ECM.

For information on TechnologyOne ECM please refer to the TechnologyOne website - https://www.technologyonecorp.com

For information on EzeScan please refer to the EzeScan website - https://ezescan.com.au

Developed for Ezescan Release: 5.0.15.4009

NOTE

It is assumed that the operator has read about, or is familiar with EzeScan Job/Route, KFI and UPLOAD modules. If not, please refer to the EzeScan PRO, KFI and UPLOAD documentation. It is also assumed that the operator is experienced with the TechnologyOne ECM product.

System Requirements

EzeScan supports integration using the DAS client (versions 4.03 and below) and CMIS versions

ECM Connect (DAS)

The DAS client must be installed on the EzeScan PC.

An ODBC (read only) connection is required to pull back the document schema from the TechnologyOne ECM Server.

CMIS

The ECM server must be on CiAnywhere with at least release 2016B.

Configuring Connection Settings

When configuring a Job, KFI or Upload to use the TechnologyOne ECM connector the connection settings panel must be filled in. There are two ways this can be achieved:

  1. If only using a single repository, it is recommended that the TechnologyOne ECM connection settings are configured at workstation level, in the Workstation Options.
  2. If not, the configuration can be set in the respective JOB, KFI and UPLOAD eDRMS options instead.

Workstation Options


The screenshot shown in Figure 1 below provides a pictorial view of the following steps.

  1. Click on Admin and choose Workstation Options
  2. Click the EDRMS tab
  3. Select the TechnologyOne ECM option from drop down list
  4. Enter the Server Name…
    1. eg. for DAS http://TechnologyOne ECM server name:port/
    2. eg. for CMIS https://website/T1Default/CiAnywhere/Web/Prod/

      NOTE

      For the CMIS make sure you remove the /Workplace from the end of the URL.

  5. Select Connector type from drop down list…
    1. Choose ECM Connect for 4.03 (or below) using the DAS client        OR
    2. Choose CMIS for CiAnywhere sites
  6. Enter the Repository ID.......... g. T1 (CMIS Only)
  7. Select the required Authentication Methods from drop down list… (CMIS Only)
    1. Choose Default which means the operator will need to enter a username / password          OR
    2. Choose Claims-based which uses the SAML authentication method.
  8. Enter a Username................. this is the username for the ECM Server.
  9. Enter a Password................... this is the user password - need to remember it is case sensitive.

    NOTE

    If multiple users are using the EzeScan PC or the operator wishes to use the login from the DAS client, keep the Username and Password blank.

  10. Click into the ECM Settings File field and then click the Browse  button to begin the creation of the XML file to be used by the KFI’s.
    1. This file creation process is documented in the Setting the XML Document Schema section.
  11. Click Save to complete the Global Settings.
    Figure 1 - Setting the TechnologyOne ECM Global Settings in the Workstation Options

Applying the Global Settings to a Job, KFI or Upload

NOTE

These options are only available if the Global Settings have been set in the Workstation Options.

Jobs

  1. Output tab............................ select Other Destination = TechnologyOne ECM from drop down list
  2. Click the Advanced button and select the TechnologyOne ECM tab
    Figure 2
  3. Tick the Use Global Connection Settings box
    Figure 3 - setting Global Connection Settings on a Job

  2. Tick the Use Global Connection Settings box
    Figure 5 - setting Global Connection Settings on an Upload

Configuring Connection Settings in Jobs, KFI & Uploads


The same process is used as covered in the previous section except it must be done whenever a Job, KFI or Upload needs to connect to ECM.

TIP:  The only time this really needs to be done is when setting up new configurations and you want to run test jobs which load processed documents into a Test/Dev Repository. It is therefore recommended to utilise the Global Settings in the Workstation options on your site if using one (Production) Repository.

Setting the XML Document Schema

Step 10 of the Configuring Connection settings section continues here.

Once the Connections settings have been completed the ECM Settings File must be created. This will be in an XML format and will be used to create the links to the various Indexes in ECM.

The XML settings are slightly different depending on the CMIS or DAS connections. The primary difference being the DAS will require an ODBC DSN set-up whereas the CMIS does not.

Figure 6 - click the browse button to begin the creation of the ECM (XML) settings file.

  5. If the EDRMS settings have been pre-configured (as per section 0) tick “Use Global Connection Settings”
    Figure 47
  6. The Return ID setting is whether to display the Document ID or the document Set ID after the document has been saved into ECM. To enable the message, please refer to section 9.7 How to display the TechnologyOne ECM Record Number after saving a document.
  7. Use the Column names from setting to set the KFI that will be used with the UPLOAD. This will automatically tell the UPLOAD Type what fields it will be looking for.

Configuring built-in upload fields


The following fields will appear after choosing Upload to TechnologyOne ECM in the Upload Properties pane. These are the default TechnologyOne ECM fields.

Each field can have its input set using the source field cell. They can be mapped from a KFI field or set to a static value.

Target Field

Description

Class Name

This field sets the level of classification of the uploaded document.

It may be set as a Static value as shown below or may be set to a mapped KFI field

Figure 48

Document Indexes

There are two ways to map the Document indexes.


It depends whether all indexes are captured in the one KFI field or over multiple fields.


The two variations are covered below…


All indexes in the one (single ) KFI field

  • Map the KFI field to the Document Indexes field…

Figure 49


TIP: Refer to the KFI sections about Multi Indexes and All Indexes  for details on setting these KFI functions up

Single Indexes set in the separate KFI fields

If the indexes have been broken up into multiple KFI entry fields then the operator can add additional Document Index mappings to the Upload

Figure 50 - Example of KFI index fields


To add extra Document Indexes click the   +    button, a new field mapping will appear, for example…

Figure 51 - Adding the Custom Field


Rename the Custom Field 1 to “Document Indexes - Your index name” and apply the respective KFI source field to it, for example…

  • Source Field = Search Street Name & Target Field = Document Indexes - Street Name
  • Source Field = Subject Index & Target Field = Document Indexes - Subject
  • Source Field = Search Name & Target Field = Document Indexes - Correspondent

Figure 52 - Example of the selected index types - Document Index Target field is set to Ignore

Precis

This field will become the Title/Name of the uploaded document

Document Date

This field sets the Date of the uploaded document

Author

This field sets the Author of the uploaded document.

Create Task (DAS Only)

This field sets the Create Task browse options.

The task/s selected from the KFI browse needs to be mapped to this field.

Lock Document (DAS Only)

This field will set the document to a locked status. Enter a value of either T or True or 1 to activate this setting.

Document

This field defines the Document ID. Enter a value and EzeScan will create a revision of this document. Noting that a new document number will be created.

Document Set

This field defines the Document Set ID. Enter a value and EzeScan will create a revision of this document.

Note Title

This field sets the Note Title of the uploaded document.

Note Text

This field sets the Note Text of the uploaded document.

Parent Compound Document (DAS Only)

This field allows the uploaded document to be related to another document. The Document number specified will show a paperclip icon to show that there is a related document. The operator needs to pass through a document ID into this field.

Parent Compound Document Set (DAS Only)

This field allows the uploaded document to be related to another document set. The Document number specified will show a paperclip icon to show that there is a related document. The operator needs to pass through a document Set ID into this field.

Related Document Sets (CMIS Only)

This option will accept document id’s (from a KFI Document index browse) and apply a relationship to the newly created upload Document. Note: The relationship type is “Related”

Configuring custom document fields


The TechnologyOne ECM connector can obtain all of the document object type custom fields from a TechnologyOne ECM Server. Fields like the Quick Add Profile, Received Date, Internal and External Reference are bought in using this method.

Click the Auto Populate button at the bottom of the screen. This will result in the TechnologyOne ECM connector returning a list of custom fields that relate to the respective Object Type.

 TIP: Select the Object Type 1st prior to clicking on the Auto Populate button - set as a (static value) then set it back to the mapped KFI field when appropriate.

It is then a matter of setting the KFI field source values to the ECM Target values of the custom fields.

Figure 53 - the “Auto Populate” button appears under the Field Mappings grid

NOTE

Make sure that the ECM Settings Files have been setup as instructed in the Setting the XML Document Schema section to obtain the schema data and configure index profiles.

Applying KFI Output Data to Object Field Data


To pass through the KFI output data into the Upload module the operator is required to set the source field data to the target field data.

  1. In the Field Mappings Grid the operator can apply the Source Field settings to the Target Field settings to populate the appropriate Target Field with the value picked up from the Corresponding KFI
  2. In the example below the TechnologyOne ECM Target Fields View Levels, Author and Document Date are being populated by the KFI Source Field Title.
    Figure 54 - KFI Source fields mapped to the ECM Target fields
  3. When all the mappings are complete, click Apply.
  4. Click OK to save the changes.

SERVER Routing Settings

The Routing module is another way of configuring EzeScan to use the KFI and UPLOAD modules to upload documents to TechnologyOne ECM.

As it can be configured to run as a windows service it is recommended for jobs that do not require operator intervention. E.g. Automated workflows like barcoding of forms with exception handling enabled so they can be processed on an EzeScan (client) PC or passing through indexed files from an EzeScan client and the service will pass through the field data, OCR and upload to TechnologyOne ECM.

NOTE

The following functionality requires that the EzeScan workstation or Server to be licensed for the SERVER product.

Running a Job for Saving Using SERVER Routing

The Routing module can be run in two ways:

  1. In the EzeScan UI by selecting Admin -> Routing, selecting the respective Route and clicking the Run Routing button. This is good for testing or troubleshooting issues.
  2. As a windows service. To do this the EzeScan Server service must be installed and started.

Please refer to the EzeScan Routing user guide on how to install and run the service.

Retrieving Details From the Index Fields (CMIS)

It is fairly straight forward to add 2 more KFI fields under an index field, such as a Correspondent/ Customer which can extract the required detail for use in the Precis/Document Title. In this section we will demonstrate how to set the fields up. The majority of the indexes may be treated in the same manner.

Retrieving a Name from a Correspondent/Customer field

In the example in Figure 74 (refer previous sections) the Correspondent is added and the result should have a long text string which looks like this Wombats Rule Pty Ltd-0-Wombats Rule... -obj$ID 123-x-x-x-x-x-11

We just want the name Wombats Rule Pty Ltd - so you need to do this…

  1. Insert 2 new KFI fields underneath the Correspondent Index field… 
    1. Call 1st field..................... Correspondent ID
    2. Call 2nd field.................... Correspondent Name
  2. Edit the Correspondent ID field…
    1. Value tab........................ Extract from Correspondent Index
    2. Processing tab................ Click Regex Edit   button then copy and paste this regex into the form - "^(.*obj\$ID *)+","indexentry-"
    3. Automation tab.............. þ Automatically move to next field
  3. Edit the Correspondent Name field…
    1. TechOne ECM tab........... set as shown in Figure 79 below
      • The <<F#>> Lookup will actually be the field number being “looked up” e.g. <<F4>>
      • The Return Field should be the 2 text fields for Given Name and Surname values
        {cmis:userText3}space{cmis:userText2}
      • Refer to page 53 to find out how to locate these types of values from your system
        Figure 79 - setting up the Name Lookup
    2. Processing tab................ Click Regex Edit   button then copy and paste this regex into the form - "^ +| +$",""
      • This Regex removes any spaces which may appear at the front of the name. In our example we have returned a business name and it therefore has no 1st
        • spaceWombats Rule Pty Ltd will become Wombats Rule Pty Ltd (no leading space)
        • Whereas Neil Wombat (Given Name & Surname) will remain the same
    3. Automation tab..............  Automatically move to next field            ......................................  Automatically show browse form

Finding the Field Values From Your System

When creating KFI fields which will run a “Lookup” of a value in your system you will need to know the actual values to use. It is more than likely that your ECM field settings differ from those used here but if you follow these simple steps it is easy to find the correct “Lookup Values” to use.

In this example we will use the Correspondent / Customer index which has been already used in this document.

  1. Using a KFI which is browsing ECM. If you do not have one then set-up one with the necessary fields to browse the ECM indexes.
  2. Click the Browse …  button OR press F3 to bring up the Search Indexes Form (refer figure 80)
    1. Search the index (e.g. Correspondent) for a name
    2. Right mouse click on the returned name
    3. Select the Properties option
      Figure 80 - Search Index - find a name, right mouse click & select Properties

3.    The window at right should appear

    1. Scroll though the list to find the items you need to use in the Lookup’s “Return Field”
    2. TIPS:
  • If you look at the search results window and line up the column heading name and search result (e.g. Given Name = Neil)
  • You can then scroll down the list to find the matching value (e.g. Neil = cmis:Text3)

The same functionality can be used with any index type & field. In the ECM system being used for this document:

  • Property Index:
    • -  Street Name....................... cmis:userText9
    • -  Locality/Suburb................. cmis:userText10
    • -  House Number................... cmis:userText5
  • Application Index:
    • -  Application Number......... cmis:userText1 or cmis:userText2
    • -  Application Description... cmis:userText5
