  1. Failed Import Jobs to Document Tray - Nonsense!

    In DocuWare 6.8 when I use the IMPORT component of Desktop Apps to run an 1000+ file import from a specified source directory, I don't have to worry if the entire job fails because they go to a subdirectory within my source directory named "Failed" by default. Therefore, it is easy to rerun that job. However, in DocuWare 6.9, failed job files by default go to a document tray. The absolute worst place to manage 1000s of files. WHY! Please either make it so you can select a document tray as a source for the import job, or bring back…

  2. allow the SmartConnect button to be bound to an anchor

    The readout areas can be bound to an anchor, but the SmartConnect button itself can't so I have various SmartConnect configurations for a browser-based application in which the button will wander around a bit depending upon which browser the user is using, their screen resolution, and their zoom settings to the point where SmartConnect is actually unusable in a number of situations because the button is obscuring other things.

  3. Implement Proxy Configuration for Desktop Apps

    Currently, Desktop Apps in general and the LDC especially run into a lot of problems when connecting to DocuWare via a Proxy Server. Please implement some configuration to allow communication over a Proxy server - just settings in a config file would be enough.

  5. Connect To Office App

    How about a Connect To Office App, this app would be like the old Office add in and work similar to how Connect To Outlook does.

    This could work alongside WEC rather than replace it. A lot of companies miss the old add in and the WEC although good can be a longer method of storing for the customer.

  6. Clean Wipe Tool

    Be great to have a clean wipe tool to help with upgrade/reinstallation problems due to corrupted installs on client machines. This can often be very time consuming when problems arise and be great to have a tool to fully do a clean uninstall of the Desktop Apps (remove all file locations and registry items).

  7. Allow formatting of Arithmetic Expressions

    Allow newline & tab characters to be included into arithmetic expressions so that they can be human readable.

  8. Add an "Attach from DocuWare" button to the Outlook Ribbon

    In Connect to Outlook, there is no way to search for a document when replying to an e-mail. For example: If I receive an e-mail from a customer requesting a copy of their contract. I click “reply” to this e-mail but the only way to attach the contract is to have a Windows Explorer search tree establish. However, using the Windows Explorer tree view is dependent on me knowing exactly where the contract is located in the folder structure, or which version of the contract is the correct one.

    If I don’t know exactly where to find it in the…

  9. Connect 2 Outlook - Ability to open search in Outlook client instead of Outlook

    When using a search in Connect 2 Outlook, the list is opened in Outlook. If many results are shown, and the customer wants a better overview it could be nice to be able to open the search directly in the DocuWare Client so you have the viewer ability and a better overview.

  10. Allow parallel connections to multiple DocuWare Cloud-Systems within the Local Data Connector.

    Currently it is only possible to establish multiple connections between one DocuWare Cloud-Systems und multiple databases. Connecting multiple DocuWare Cloud-Systems with one or more databases in parallel is not possible right now.

  11. Connect to Outlook: Able to Attach a Document from a Quick Search to an Email Reply

    Situation: You have an email from which you need to reply to and attach a Document From DocuWare.

    Suggestion: Rather than having to either download it or send it as a new document via the Quick Search, you should be able to pick the document and attach it directly to a specific email as an attachment. It would make it more efficient for people who use C2O and Outlook exclusively.

  12. allow user to select a splitting character for Document Processing configuration

    When trying to fill a keyword index value, we currently need to create as many areas as values that we want to read. It would be nice to draw one single area, and then specify "splitting character is a blank, or a \n, or a hyphen" or whatever.
    What would be even nicer would be to select if the string split should occur before or after this character :
    If my string is B123456789B123456790B123456791, splitting character would be "B", but i'd like to keep it in splitted string values.

    Best regards,

    François Tassy

  13. allow readout areas between two anchors in Document processing

    It would be nice to have the possibility to draw 2 anchors, and have DW Desktop Apps spanning the area in between.

  14. Split document if a document is rotated 180 degrees

    As an alternative to Barcodes, if a page is rotated 180 degrees it should be split.

  15. Connect to Outlook only stores attachments that are 1 level deep

    We often receive emails that are forwarded as attachments and those attached emails also have attachments on them. Connect to Outlook will only store the first level of attachments. We would like to see the ability to store multiple level of attachments.That way the forwarded email and also all attachments on that forwarded email are stored in Outlook.

  16. Regular Expressions for Processing Data in Import Configurations

    It would be very nice to be able to use a regular expression when cutting out text in readout areas while assigning to index fields. The current options are very limited, and present some problems in processing.

    The exact issue is discussed in this forum post: https://www.docuware.com/forum/english-forums/docuware-questions-about-usage-and-configuration/name-parsing-import-configurations

  17. Allow multiple attachements in an E-Mail to be stored as seperate documents

    When storing an E-Mail using CONNECT to Outlook, if the E-Mail has multiple attachments each attachment should be able to be stored as a separate document with a specific document type. Connect to outlook does not allow for this.

  18. Insert or Append

    I believe it would be very useful to have the ability to open an existing document and have the option to Insert (Before or After) a page and the ability to Append files. This would easily allow a user to replace an outdated or incorrectly scanned page or Append additional files to a document. Having to unclip, scan, insert, resort, and clip files is VERY annoying to all of our users.

  19. One button for nested windows

    Many applications have nested windows. Users often will have multiple Order windows open at once. It would be beneficial to have one SmartConnect button located in the main application window, and when the button is pressed, it runs the search on the current active window.

  20. Smartconnect use readonly license

    Smartconnect cannot use the readonly client without installing the webservices on a second web server. Please add the ability to have Smartconnect use the readonly license without having to make the whole platform services site read only. This worked in previous versions of DocuWare.
