Laserfiche Tips & Tricks 

  
Modifying Metadata Directly
in Microsoft Office

 

With the Office Integration for Laserfiche 8.2, you can directly modify metadata when working with Office documents that have been stored within your Laserfiche repository. This allows you to quickly make updates to document metadata in one step.

 

For instance, you might be using Microsoft Excel to work with a budget spreadsheet that is stored in your repository's Accounting folder. While working on the spreadsheet, you might want to tag it with the "Important" tag, and update the Approval field to indicate that it will require approval. Now you can do so directly within Excel, without having to save and close the document and then update the metadata in the Laserfiche Client.

 

To do so, select the Laserfiche tab on the ribbon, or open the File menu, and click the metadata button. This will open the metadata dialog, allowing you to modify the document's metadata. When you click OK, your changes to the document's metadata will immediately be saved.

 

Modifying Metadata in MS Office 

 

The ability to update metadata directly in Microsoft Office allows you to quickly work with all of an electronic document at once-both the electronic file and the metadata-without having to switch between the Office application and the Laserfiche Client.

 

Note: Fields, templates and tags can be added or modified on documents directly from Microsoft Office applications. Links and versions cannot be modified in this way.

    

If you have a technical question or just need to know how to do something in Laserfiche contact [email protected] or [email protected] or by calling (907) 248-8472.

Laserfiche Success Story


In each issue of our eNewsletter we'll be linking you to an example of how people are using Laserfiche successfully. These stories are meant to inspire you to use Laserfiche for more than search and retrieval. Below is a Laserfiche 'Success Story'. You could be next!

 

 

 

Laserfiche and the Apple iPad
 
"The more people see what Laserfiche can do, the more they want it-and the more they're willing to change the way they work to get it"

 

With a staff of just 11, the IT department at the City of Wichita Falls, TX, serves nearly 1,400 city employees. Similar to their colleagues at many government organizations, these IT professionals are faced with the challenge of making sure that staff members are taking advantage of new technology to elevate the speed and quality of the service they provide to citizens.

 

"The biggest thing we fight," says Patrick Gray, Database Applications Analyst at Wichita Falls, "is people getting stuck in their ways." He explains that his department's goal is to move employees off technology from the 1980s and '90s and "get our city current."
