  • 1.  UX - Document Manager Upload

    Posted Fri October 25, 2019 11:59 AM

    Does anyone know when can we expect to see the ability to upload documents to the document manager using the UX components

    .I am aware of the triplat-document component, but it appears that this is just for download.

    The triplat-file component, does not seem to be for use with the document manager, but for binary fields in a BO.

     

    Anyone have suggestions on UX with the document manager.

    From past experience with the Connector API, getting the smart object revision on the document to increment before uploading revisions was a problem.

    Hello, Robert,

    There is an image upload in the Service Request app, you might want to check how it's done there

    The upload on the service request goes to an IMAGE type field on the Business Object. 
    I'm looking for something that uploads to the document manager

    Hi Robert, 

    I had the same issue. We ended up opening using javascript to open a new window to the "classic" upload window in TRIRIGA. Here are a few tips:
     - You need to mimic the findAccept() function in your UX app that the Upload Window is looking for when the upload is complete.
     - Create an Action in the UX model that will run a WF to do the association between the newly created document and your "parent" record.

    I ended up doing the same thing.  Not really thrilled about using a "undocumented" feature like the findAccept() function. If IBM changes this things could break.
    Just wondering are you using Polymer 1 or Polymer 3.   
    I got this to work in Polymer 1, but was having issues in Polymer 3. 
    The findAccept() function didn't seem to be visible to the "classic" UI upload window in Ploymer 3.
    I haven't had time to research why, but sure I'll have to revisit this at some point

    I agree, its something Tririga should support in UX. We are using Polymer 3. We did the following:
    1. Created a new .js file and put the findAccept() function in there
    2. In the connectedCallback() function of our top level Polymer web component we used javascript to create a 'script' element and appended it to the 'head' element. See the code below.
    This brings the findAccept() function "outside" of Polymer and lets the "classic" UI window see it.  

      connectedCallback() {
            super.connectedCallback();
            afterNextRender(thisthis._loadRequestsPage);
            var script = document.createElement('script');
            script.type = 'text/javascript';
            script.src = '../components/r/3/v/en-US/l/VIEW_NAME/findAccept.js';
            document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
        }

    It seems like you're inquiring about the timeline for enabling the capability to upload documents to the document manager using UX components. Currently, there is familiarity with the "triplat-document" component, which seems to be solely for downloading purposes. On the other hand, the "triplat-file" component appears to be geared towards binary fields in a Business Object (BO), rather than for use with the document manager.


    When it comes to suggestions regarding UX methodology in conjunction with the document manager, it might be helpful to explore ways to streamline the user experience. This could involve creating an intuitive and user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of document uploads and revisions.


    Considering past experiences with the Connector API, it's worth noting that challenges may have arisen related to ensuring that the smart object revision on the document increments correctly prior to uploading revisions.


    To address your question specifically, the implementation timeline for integrating document upload functionality within the document manager using UX components may depend on the development roadmap and priorities of your organization or the platform you're working with. It's advisable to connect with your development team or platform provider for a more accurate estimate of when this capability might be available.


    Overall, incorporating a user-centered UX methodology can greatly enhance the usability of the document manager, providing a seamless experience for users interacting with document uploads, revisions, and other related tasks.
