  1. Could we get an email alert when one of the autoindexing jobs errors out?

    Could we get an email alert when one of the autoindexing jobs errors out? It would be nice to be proactive in fixing these issues without waiting for users to report.

  2. Bring back multiple Web Connections/URLs (removed in 7.4)

    In 7.4, the ability to use different URLs was removed.
    It is not possible to use http://hostname/docuware and http://hostname.my.domain/docuware at the same time.

    This especially has a huge impact to customers who have their DocuWare reachable from outside their own network, as the server often has a different DNS Name and URL for external connections. 7.4 basically removed the ability to have your DW Server available for external connections.

    Please bring back the ability to have multiple Web Connections or to allow traffic from every IIS Site binding.

  5. Make Workflow Designer easier to keep tidy with multi-select

    Make Workflow Designer easier to keep tidy, like Process Planner is.

    I create a workflow on a VM to get it right, deploy to the customer system so the Workflow Designer layout looks intuitive to follow, and then any tweaks to the design of the Workflow from that point result in it looking like a bird's nest of connectors and boxes.

    Multi-select would help quite a bit here

  6. The Workflow Designer is in need of much assistance.

    In Visio, object connection points can be all around an object Also connection labels can be dragged to any position along the line by the user.

    It appears that the Workflow Designed only has 4 connection points in each corner. Also the tags for each connector will automatically position themselves, but not always ideally. The effect is that lines and the labels will realign themselves willy nilly each time ANYTHING is relocated. This is EXTREMELY UNDESIRABLE!!!!! I spent more time today dicking around with positions and connecting lines, which have a mind of their own by the way, and not…

  7. Show Next Run Time in Autoindex

    In addition to the current "Last Run" time shown in the overview, add a column that shows the next time a job is scheduled to run. This is was available in previous versions of DocuWare. I find it helpful to view when an autoindex job will run so my scheduled jobs are not all running at the same time.

  8. Desktop notifications

    Windows Desktop Notifications should be a thing, in the same way as E-Mail notifications are. If one has Desktop Apps installed or allowed the WebClient to send notifications, a User should be able to receive Desktop notifications in addition to Mail notifications.

  9. Add a feature

    Add a feature to the DocuWare Administration to block access to the DocuWare system with the .NET API for particular users. Any user who has an account on DocuWare system can get access with API. I would like to have a possibility to block it.

  10. Administrator: Performance Indicators

    It would be nice to have a dashboard in the admin tool with key performance indicators, such as Documents stored for the day, Maximum concurrent users, Number of registered users, # inactive users that didnt use Docuware in 3 months), current logged in users, data in for day (vs historical average), data out for day (vs historical average), Available storage (with estimated time before storage is full), Available resources, Critical errors (servers, workflows, etc.)

  11. Why do we need to assign a file cabinet to every tray?

    When we assign users to roles (as DocuWare encourages) you can't create an Inbox via the New User Wizard, because it requires us to select a file cabinet. But since we do not want to assign file cabinets to individual users, that functionality is not usable.

  12. Allow the opening of file URIs in the workflow manager

    We can create links on a form to open a web capable application (http://...) but not a file link (file:///.....)

  13. Change default paper size/region

    We are North American clients, and we really need a setting to change the default paper size to Letter(in Connect to Mail, Printer, etc...). A region setting that would automatically setup Printers and Connect to Mail to the default paper size of the region would be amazing.

    Otherwise, all connect to mail emails are saved as A4 size, which messes with older printers, and also makes emails print out oddly on paper. The Docuware Printer also doesn't have a UI option to change the setting. It has a registry change, but a server side auto-deployed setting would make much more…

  14. Auto Index Failure Notification

    When an Auto Index error occurs the workflow stops. There does not seem to be any type of notification that occurs, and typically is discovered by the end user when indexes are missing. An email notification to the admin would be great so they could address the error prior to an end users discovering it.

  15. incomprehensible Restriction on Stamps

    If I have an approval stamp and I name it APPROVE and assign it to a single file cabinet and user group. I can NEVER create another stamp that has the display name APPROVE again. Even for a different file cabinet, even for a different user group. -Because of the backwards way you guys treat DISPLAY NAME vs NAME when configuring a stamp, I cannot have a duplicate DISPLAY NAME, really? This is never the case ANYWHERE! What if I wanted to assign another approval stamp to another set of users. I then have to name that stamp something else,…

  16. Make DocuWare variables available in text area of stamp

    Please allow the stamp text area to use DocuWare variables like user name and data/time variables.

    Currently the user and date/time can be added as default stamp text but it's in a hard coded order.

    Being able to change that order and potentially mix it with additional info would be helpful.

    So instead of the standard stamp of this

    Username
    Date time

    I'd like to be able to configure it to this:

    Date time Username

    Or this:

    CSR Username Date time

    Essentially adding variables to the text area opens up a lot of additional options when designing stamps!

  17. Improve Auto Indexing fault tolerance on error

    Auto Indexing will go into error state after first seeing connection loss and not re-attempt without manual starting process from DocuWare Administration Utility.
    Allowing for another attempt after a set time-frame would greatly help managing this module as re-starting these processes can become very time intensive.

  19. Notification

    A document stored in the file cabinet ready for email notification. (so in the notification table). A user logs in during the day and approves invoice randomly… At 4pm (or whatever time you assign) however, he will still get an email notification to let him know that he has invoices to approve even though he has already completed his action. It would be good if we could remove this. What do you think?

  20. optional fields for groups or user defined tables

    For index filters in profiles we often use a database view on the DocuWare Users and grups ("dwGroups, dwUsers, dwUserToGroup").
    This helps to make a SQL index filter with the user-group settings.
    Often the group name itself is implemented in the index filter. For example the users in the DW group with the name "grp_Accounting" are just allowed to see documents of the business unit "Accounting".
    SQL index filter: CURRENTUSERLONGNAME() IN (SELECT v.User FROM View V Where (dwdata.dbo.archiv.)BusinessUnit = LEFT(3,v.groupName)
    (or something like that)
    If there would be a possibility to give groups optional fields we could take this information…
