6.1 Document Association

Stuart, I don't quite know about Vantage 6.1 but we use the Document Mgmt module with version 8.00.809 to attach documents to any form. Except that this module simply allows you to point to the document using a UNC pathing to a file server location and therefore the document is not embedded as a database object. I don't consider this a very mature technology yet in Vantage but it might work for you if this module is available for version 6.1.

Hi there. We are on Vantage 6.1. We wish to associate some scanned
documents to a specific Purchased Part. What is the correct way to set
this up. Is it done via the VB form in Part File Maintenance, and if so
how do I set this up?

Also, we wish to assign some documents to our serial number tracked
parts we sell, but can't even see a VB form interface on Serial number
assignment, so how should we go about this one?

Thanks in advance

Stuart

I'm assuming you have the document association module.

We associate pictures of the finished product with our manufactured
parts. We do this in the Part Rev screen. From Part File
Maintenance choose a part, click Rev then Update. Unapprove the
Rev. Then click on the button that I believe shows a pencil,
compass, and ruler right next to the effective date. Then you can
click Add and link the file to this part. Keep in mind that the
actual file will need to continue to reside somewhere on your
network, it is not actually embedded in Vantage so give some thought
to how you are going to organize these documents on your network.

You also need to do some set up in System Mgmt -> Configuration
Maint -> Document Association. You need to set a record for each
different file type you'll be using. Create a description and view
command and possibly a print command for each extenstion you plan to
used. The view command should be a path to the executable you want
to have open when the view button is clicked. Here is an example of
the view command I'm using to open .jpg files. v:\photoed.exe "&1"

As for doing a purchased part specifically, we haven't done any
document association with purchased parts, but if we wanted to it
might be a bit of an issue because we don't have Rev's on our
purchased parts. From what I can tell, we would need to create a Rev
in order to associate a document.
