Creating Documents from Templates

To create documents from document templates in the Alfresco repository, you have to add the templates to the folder ‘Node Templates’ in Data Dictionary.

Document Templates in Data Dictionary

All the documents that are inserted in this folder will be shown under “New Document” in the context menu.

Creating a new document from a Template

Within the “Node Templates” folder you can also create subfolders and put your document templates in it to group them together.

You can configure which templates will be available for which user or group by setting the reading rights on the templates in the Document Template folder. So you can attribute a template to the finance department.

Report A Problem

  • Default: disabled
  • Configuration: config.js

Report A Problem Description

When a user would encounter a problem with Alfred Desktop, there is always a hassle to get the exact version number and application log files.

This feature enabled a “Report A Problem” menu item under the “Help” menu in Alfred Desktop. It opens up the default mail client, sets the addressee to the pre-configured value (preferably your IT-departments email-address) and attaches the Alfred Desktop log file.

This allows your IT-department to evaluate the reported problem and if necessary, forwards this easily to XeniT, without the need to chase the user for client log files.

Report A Problem Configuration

This can be configured in the config.js configuration file, under the ‘extended’ object.

Paramter Name Type Description
help.report-problem.to String Value should be a (valid) email address, for example: it-support@mycompany.com enables a menu item under the Help-menu, called “Report a problem”. This will open the user his default email client, attach the Alfred Desktop log file and uses the configured value in the “To:” field.
help.report-problem.cc String Value should be a (valid) email address. This value will be added to the “CC” field if the user uses the “Report a problem”

Users will automatically have the menu option available under Help, the next time they connect to the repository.
