Adding Columns to the Viewer

[MBelt]

In the recent “WatermarksStamps” thread I asked about adding a document number to the A2G email files. Thanks to your help we are working on a program to do what we need. But it raises another question.

Is there a way to add columns to the viewer? We’d like to take the document number add it to the metadata files and display it in the mailbox view. I could live without the size column if needed.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your enquiry.

As with the question of displaying documents with a watermark, adding a column for document number would require changing the source code for the Viewer. It’s unlikely that this would be possible in the short term since Advansys’ development resources are fully occupied at present.

Short of changing the source code, I think the Size column could be used for this purpose. That is, you could modify the metadata and replace the ‘size’ value by a document number. Then you could interpret each value displayed in the Size column as a document number.

It’s possible that a future version of the Viewer may support custom metadata like this document number. In this scenario, end-users/administrators would use a configuration file to define additional columns and how each column relates to the metadata. To my knowledge no customer has requested such a feature, which our team will consider adding to the wish list.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Advansys Support
