30.2 Extended access

The ArchivistaBox 2008/III (and higher releases) can be used to control entire WebDMS externally as well as carry out registration and file selection automatically. This means that it is now possible to control WebDMS 'remotely' via another (web) application. Firstly, this application has to connect to WebDMS (see 30.1). The application can then call all the functions of WebDMS that are available in 'manual' operation.

All editing functions are available here. Files can be deleted, scanning is possible and indexing can be automated. In order to gain a better understanding of external access, it is important that you are aware of the various forms (main/page view) and views (display, search, edit) since not all of the commands are available in all views.

WebDMS has two forms (views): the main view (go_main)and the page view (go_page). There are three different modes in these two forms (statuses): display (go_view), search (go_search) and edit (go_edit) documents. Before the individual commands are described, these different form views are shown here in brief form:
