User Authentication
To establish the connection between the user in Framework and the user in Almirah, there is an authentication process in Framework;
- In Production Module, Launch File > User Options.
- Select Perspective Platform tab.
- Enter the Almirah Login and Password, as you would in the browser.
- Hit Authenticate button.
When the authentication is successful, a Contact ID is stored for the user.
Thin Client Link
This functionality is available in Framework 2020 (v7.1).
A Thin Client set up is available for
- Accessing the Almirah Document Management System when the documents to be managed and uploaded are local to the user, and not Framework ECM
- Refreshing the Almirah Project when the job is changed in Framework ECM.
These functions are managed by Security Preferences.
| ID | Permission | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| -50341 | Launch DMS Locally? | Yes | The Open DMS button on the Linked Files screen will launch the browser locally to the user, using the Almirah permissions to connect to the DMS. |
| No | The Browser is assumed to be outside the user's environment. | ||
| -50342 | Sync/Refresh DMS on change of Job | Yes | When changing job in Framework, DMS will update the Project to be in line with the Job. Whether this happens locally or in a remote session, depends on the Launch DMS Locally? preference setting. |
| No | Almirah will not refresh on change of job, in either local or remote environments. |
Connecting to the relevant project in DMS depends on all other relevant preferences being set correctly and the project existing on the Platform.
