No.

This field contains the primary key of the document definition; it uniquely identifies it.

Description

This field describes the document definition; it is only informational.

Purpose

This field provides the capability of configuring this document definition for a specific purpose. The purpose serves, for example, to use different document definitions for different types of use. For example, metadata and settings other than for posting and following archival of the sales order document can be used with "drag and drop" of an external file for a sales order. In this way, the following configuration abilities result:

• empty: The document definition is used for all purposes

• Report: The document definition is used only for archiving the report (this also applies to Save and Send)

• Assign: The document definition is used only for assigning barcodes

• File: The document definition is used only for external files via drag and drop

• Assign & file: Combination of the "Assign" and "File" options
  

• Save and Send: The document definition is used only when executing the ECM function "Save and Send"

• Display & import: The document definition is used only to display documents from the repository in real time.

• Assign & File & Save and Send: Combination of the above options

  If a desired combination of options cannot be selected, you will have to use multiple document definitions for a document type (e.g. "Report" and "File").

Template

This field is used to select standard documents. All accounts payable and accounts receivable standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central documents are therefore available for selection. By selecting a document, the user sets to which document type (quotation, invoice, etc.) this document definition is assigned.

The type of document to be archived produces various default settings, which must normally be specified in the document definition. These default settings are automatically made in the following fields by the system after you select the template type in the Template field:

• on the General FastTab in the No., Document type and Page ID fields

• on the Use FastTab in the Report Selection Type and Report List fields .

The settings in these fields (and other control fields of the document definition) control system behavior. The automatically set default settings can be manually overwritten, if necessary.

Document Definition Name

This field is used to name document definitions that are not to be determined via the table number (table document type). If this field contains an entry, this document definition will no longer be determined via the Table ID field.

Table ID

In this field you have to specify from which Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central source table you want to import the data for the document entries and the EASY Archive / Microsoft SharePoint index fields (data source of the respective document definition). The table no. contained in the header of the document definition serves as a presetting for the definition rows.

Table Name

This field is automatically pre-allocated with the table name belonging to the Table No. field.

Document type

If you have defined the Document type field for this table in the object reference matrix, a selection list of document types will appear in this field.

Archive Table ID

Here you can enter an Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central-internal "Archive/history table" if this exists in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central standard (e.g. archived quotations). In this way, a quotation and an archived quotation can be archived using the same document definition. Otherwise, two document definitions must be configured because the documents refer to different tables.

Archive Table Name

This field is automatically pre-allocated with the archive table name belonging to the Archive Table No. field.

Page ID

In this field you have to select the page ID of the page belonging to the selected Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central table.

Page Name

This field is automatically pre-allocated with the page name belonging to the Page ID.

Classification

Document Category

Arbitrarily definable document classifications can be stored in this field. Document categories are used to group documents; they are also informational. The categories are transferred to the field of the same name of the document entries (document links). In this way, the type of document for an individual document entry is indicated. Document categories are defined here.

Vertical Solutions ID

This field allows assigning the document definition to a specific vertical extension. This field is linked with the vertical configuration in Departments > Administration > Application Setup > EASY / SharePoint ECM > Setup > Vertical Solution .

Blocked

Enabling this option allows turning off active use of the document definition.

Starting Date

Defines the date from which this document definition is valid. In this way, the ability to set up multiple document definitions for the same document type is available. The data of a document definition can be imported into a new document definition using the Copy definition function. The respective document definition with a start date that is in the recent past is valid.

Repository

ECM Server Code

The server code that determines via which server the interface or this specific document definition communicates with EASY Archive is stored in this field.

ECM Repository/Library Code

The storage of EASY Archive / Microsoft SharePoint to which to pass the documents, receipts or reports to be saved is specified in these fields. If you do not store a destination here, only a PDF file will be created and stored in the directory that is stored in the ECM PDF Generator Matrix in the Temp. File Directory field.

ECM Repository/Library Reference

Versioning

If this option is enabled, the stored documents will be versioned.

Number of ECM annual repositories/libraries

Indicates the number of already created annual libraries for this document definition.

SharePoint

Content Type

If the specified storage destination is a Microsoft SharePoint library, you can specify a Microsoft SharePoint Content Type in this field.

Create Library Folder

When this option is enabled, the interface will create a new library folder.

Create Library

If this option is enabled, the interface will create a new library.

Hidden SharePoint File Name Request

If you archive a file using drag and drop and a file of the same name already exists in the Microsoft SharePoint archive, you can specify in a dialog that the file will be saved under a different file name or as a version of the file archived in Microsoft SharePoint. If this option is enabled, the file to be archived will always be saved as a new version of the existing file without prompting.

Queue

Time Calculation Code

In this field, a time calculation method is accessed that has been defined in the setup. This allows defining another time behavior of storage / archiving for each document definition and therefore for each document type.

Prepare PDF/Metadata Immediately

If this option is enabled, preparation of the PDF file and metadata will be immediately performed. This setting is absolutely necessary for volatile documents because, for example, a contract will no longer exist in the system after has been converted to an invoice, and thus can no longer be archived.

Immediately store in ECM

If this option is enabled, the metadata will be written to a temporary table according to document definition immediately after printing or posting the document. At the same time, a PDF file is created, stored temporarily on the server hard disk, and then immediately archived by the client.

Message On Preparation

This field lets you set that a message is output after preparation. By default, no message is output. Other options:

• On Error: A message will be output for each error in the preparation, e.g. a no longer available printer.

• At any time: A message is also output on successful preparation and saving / archiving.
