Aras documentation sources
Hi, I am looking for an authoritative source for Aras documentation. I assume that docs.aras.com is the main entry point. I have noticed, that some documents are duplicated, or have multiple was of accessing them. For example in the top menu, below Help Center, there is an entry Documentation, which leads back the same site, docs.aras.com. On the right side, there are links to "Knowledgebases" , which are gated behind an "Aras community/subscriber" login, but they also lead back to the same documents, that are already accessible from the main page. Are there any other documents, that are not available though this page, specifically regarding administration of the Aras platform? Thanks and best regards, ThomasSolved69Views0likes2CommentsR37 docs: any bulk-access, single-page, or PDF option?
Hi all, Coming from R35 where PDFs were offered alongside the Online Docs, we noticed R37 dropped the PDFs and split each guide into many short pages reached only through the left-side tree. A few questions: - Is there a downloadable bundle (zip, EPUB, consolidated PDF) for R37 that we missed? - A "full guide on one page" / print-friendly view we can link our team to? - A sitemap or index endpoint for the documentation portal? Onboarding new admins and cross-referencing topics has gotten harder when each section is split across dozens of one-minute pages. Any pointer to a denser format would help a lot. Thanks!Solved134Views1like5Comments"Change" property for Tracking Changes and Comments with Office Connector
In the "Aras Office Connector 31 - User Guide" documentation, section "9.7 Tracking Changes and Comments" mentions: "Aras Office Connector can control whether your documents contain change or comment tracking. This feature, if enabled by your administrator, works automatically and allows you to briefly see the status of changes and comments." I understand that if another user reviews the document and adds a comment or modifies the content, this should be reflected in the Changes property of the document. However, I have not found any additional information in the Aras guides about how to activate this functionality. Could someone clarify what settings or permissions need to be enabled by the admin so that the Changes property of the Documents item type correctly reflects the changes and comments made by other users? Thank you in advance for any further details or shared experience!62Views0likes1CommentJavascript method to set the default value in search grid?
We need to limit the search results of "Document" item for certain identity. The default value of "Classification" should be prefilled to "General" and should be unchangeable by the user. I was thinking if I can get the current identity of the user and then call a function that would prefill the "Classification" to "General" and make it uneditable. I have a code for finding the identity of the user. I need to know how to target the "Classification" field of "Document" item type in the search grid view thanks!106Views0likes2CommentsModifying a Reverse View
Hi all, On a document container, we have a tab with the view of all the DCOs that affect it: Because this isn't the standard view, the fields/properties that are/aren't shown here do not correlate to their visibility on the DCO item type. My question is, how do you add or remove fields/properties to this view? Please let me know if you need more information. We are using Aras Innovator Version 11 SP9.66Views0likes4CommentsDocument Revision List of Changed Document Files
Hi all, Is it possible, for a document, to provide a view of a list of document revisions where each revision on the list only describes changes to the attached document file(s)? On Version 11 SP 9, there is a "Revisions" selection under "Views" menu, but this shows all revisions including that of document container changes (changes to the title, description, etc). Looking for a list of changes to the attached file(s) only. According to someone that I used to work with, whom I can no longer contact, this feature used to exist in a legacy version of Innovator where there was an additional menu item "File Revisions" under "Views" menu. Thanks!59Views0likes1CommentHow to batch download and upload files?
Under Documents, Type= Setup Sheet, State = Released, are documents that are in excel and they have to be converted to pdf I guess the first the step woudl be to get the meta data, Document name, ID, Related Files, and File ID. Then loop through this file to download them. But then what would the path be to download this. How do I go about this? Thanks!!Solved177Views0likes5CommentsHow to use getid() method to get id?
In the system the "Id", and "config-id" are the item name. For Document item, the id is the document name(screenshot below). I need the id property, the one that is unique, to be added to the properties of Document item. I have this method but it doesn't work: Item myItem = this.newItem("Document"); myItem.setID(this.getID()); Item results = myItem.apply(); Error is "Error Number: CS0161, 'ItemMethod.methodCode()': not all code paths return a value" Also, once I have this method working what are the next steps. I guess I will have to add this method to the Server Events, event onBeforeGet, correct? Any help is appriciated. Thanks!146Views0likes5CommentsAdd Documents To BOM Structure
Like the title says. I need the PDF version of all CAD documents to be shown in BOM and BOM Structure. Also, these have to be downloadable, if I can add a "Download All' button that would be cherry on top! I saw a post there similar to this. Do I need to edit the SQL query for this? Add joins to bring in the CAD documents? Which sql query would need to be edited? and is the "Download All" button implemented. If someone can give me the detailed steps to accomplish this that would be awesome. Thanks!43Views0likes1CommentDo the fields in the form show "Value" or the "Label" from a list
I have a filter list. the "Label" of which will show in "type" field of the "Document" form. I want to edit this "Label" because we want the "Type" to be different, and editing the "Value" erases the values from the Type field of every Document form where this value occurred. We ofcourse can't have this so the solution was to just edit the Label. However, In the near future,I also want the "Type" to appear in the right click menu on a Document under Process Plan --> operations --> Documents. This "Type" will also show the "labels", correct? Secondly, is Aras's default behaviour to show the "Label" of the list?Solved82Views0likes2Comments
