Hello I am new on alfresco and I would like to know is that the solution can do the localization of the physical documents archived in the archives room (id, rayon, row, date ..).
Regards
Since you can easily add your own metadata fields to alfresco (content model) it is possible to add the fields for the physical location of a document. If you mark your document accordingly, ie. with a barcode, you can use a barcode scanner (scans barcode and emulates typing the code via keyboard) to identify your document and tell you where to store it physically...
1 - So i'm in the right place according to my needs ? or i can find other solutions that can offer already this features
2 - please can you tell where to find exemples or tuto for doing this, especially the part of using the barcode scanner
3 is there any app store for community apps to download or purchase from there.
Many thanks
- if you also want to scan the documents and store their content for metadata and fulltext search alfresco could be the right solution. If only want to store the physical position of your documents, there should be other solutions (the simplest would be a Database Table with a html5 frontend or a spreadsheet)
- if you store the value of the barcode (most likely a string) in a metadata field, you could use the standard searching mechanisms of alfresco. The decoding of a barcode (or 2D Code like QR) could be done by a barcode scanner (for example simply plugged into usb) that reads the code and types the decoded string like you would have done it via keyboard or by an ocr software that scans the document and also decodes the barcode.
maybe you can find modules for your solution on addons.alfresco.com
But if you don't want to store the content of your documents in alfresco, you should find an easier solution.
Hi Martin,
1- we also want store the document in alfresco, so all this customization can be done in GUI mode or i should do some customization in the code source. For the database :
Site --> folder1 -->folder2-->document1.word
( Case 1) | (Lot 1) | (document1.word) - document2.word
| (Lot 2) |
2 - what is the structure that will be in the database ( because we already have another solution that containt just the physical position of documents and we want to use it on this new solution) ? knowing that in our database we have just Case and lot wich will be replaced by two folders in alfresco.
3- what do you think of this migration it is possbile ?
regards
