Even with a well-thought-out security policy, it can be difficult to remember exactly what rights a user or group has to a particular entry in Laserfiche–especially when you take inheritance and group membership into account. Laserfiche provides a tool for quickly viewing the effective rights that a particular trustee has to a folder or document, which you can use to verify that the correct rights have been set, to check whether a user has access to something, or to troubleshoot security problems.
To view a user’s effective rights, select the document or folder you want to check, right-click and select “Access Rights.” Go to the “Effective Rights” tab. By default, the dialog will display the effective rights for the trustee you are logged in as; to view the rights for another trustee, click “Choose” and then pick the trustee from the list. If a right has a check in the “Granted” box, the user has that right; if it is cleared, they do not have that right.
This dialog takes into account all entry access rights that affect this trustee and this folder. That means that entry access rights inherited from group membership will be reflected here, as will entry access rights inherited from farther up the folder tree. Note, however, that it does not take into account other types of rights. For example, if a user has the “Bypass Browse” privilege, they will be able to browse the contents of a folder even if they do not have the “Browse” right displayed; if a user does not have the “Delete” feature right, they will not be able to delete documents even if they have the “Delete Entry” access right.

Informational tags allow you to quickly flag an item as belonging to a particular category or status. Any piece of information that is either true or false about a document can be represented with a tag. For instance, you might want to mark all the documents that are high priority, all the documents that are urgent and need to be dealt with quickly, or all the documents that have been scanned but still need to be filed appropriately. Since each of these questions is answered with either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ – either the document is high priority or it isn’t, for instance – they are appropriate for tagging. Full story »

Laserfiche Agenda Manager streamlines and automates the creation of meeting agendas. Staff members propose agenda items using a Web form, and proposed items, along with accompanying reports or other files, are routed to reviewers based on an approval workflow you create.
New in Agenda Manager 8 is the ability to assign delegates to approvers—to allow a user to review a submitted agenda item on behalf of another user. To do so, assign User B as a delegate to User A. User B will receive all e-mail notifications that User A is configured to receive. When User B approves an item, the agenda item’s history will denote that the item was approved by User A’s delegate, User B. Administrators can configure delegates for other users or users can configure their own delegates.

Laserfiche Activation and Licensing.
This paper explains the basics behind the new Laserfiche activation and licensing processes and answers frequently asked questions.
When working with large documents, you may want to be able to quickly find your way to particular parts of the document, or navigate within the document. For instance, you might want to be able to jump directly to a frequency-referenced page, or you might want to be able to jump through a document by section or chapter – but you might not want to memorize page number in order to do so.
With Laserfiche 8.1, you can use annotations and the annotation pane to “bookmark” sections of the document. To do so, simply add an annotation to each page you want to bookmark. You can use any annotation that supports text: sticky note, text box or callout text. Type a name for your “bookmark.” For instance, you might create a text box for each section of a document, and name them “Section I,” “Section II” and so on.
