Hi all, I am new to the forum. We are in the final testing stages before going live with Nuxeo 5.3.0 - developer is on vacation so I am going to ask a question in hopes to having an answer when he gets back....
We are usng WSS (Windows Sharepoint Services) to connect to Nuxeo from within Word and Excel. This indeed does work but when you navigate to the Nuxeo repository to save/open a document, the default view within Word (2003) is "WebView". There are two problems with this: - the folders are in no particular order (probably the order created/imported); if you drill into the folder, the documents are also not ordered - users cannot find the folder they want by starting to type the folder name (we called it "incremental search" in another database). There are hundreds to thousands of folders within a container so users really want to be able to start typing a folder name (which is a person's lastname + firstname) to get close; huge time saver; they will string me up if they cannot do this Of course, you can switch to "Details" view within Word to get the ordering/searching but Word (or Nuxeo) does not allow setting it to this by default so *everytime* the user goes to file/retrieve something, they have to switch the view again. These users file dozens if not hundreds of docs a day into dozens of folders so they need it to be easy. I am thinking that perhaps there is one of two ways of solving this: 1) developer needs to configure something within Nuxeo to return the results ordered property (for both folders and documents within folders) and also to somehow return it so that Word does not show it as a "WebView" 2) Perhaps there are registry settings within Word that would cause Word to show the details view by default so that users do not need to switch to this each time. 3) or some combination of the two above. I did note that if the user navigates to the folders via the Windows Explorer interface that has been linked in by WSS from within Network Places, that the lists are ordered and searchable. For some users this would work (as they are dragging scanned documents from another system folder) but for 80% of them, they are composing documents in Word and want the ability to save directly from within Word. Thoughts?
