Assignment of rights#

In order for a user to be able to create templates and generate documents, it is necessary to assign appropriate rights. This is possible in the i-doit administration under Rights system > Assignment of rights > Documents, if the add-on is installed.

The following permissions are available here:

  • Document
    The "Document" condition can be used to allow access to single or multiple documents. Users with this permission can edit the selected documents.

  • Documents in categories

Clear cache for the rights system

After the rights have been assigned, it is advisable to clear the cache in the i-doit administration under Repair and cleanup > Cache / Database so that the changes are adopted by the system.

Additional configuration#

The add-on additionally makes the "Documents" category available for all object types. The category can be linked to the desired object types via the object type configuration and Edit data structure. In this way, only those object types appear during object creation that are specified by the user in order to keep the selection list clear.

Documents category

In order to create a document for an object, it is necessary that the "Documents" category is linked to the object type. If the object type does not have this category, no documents can be created for the objects it contains, because they do not appear in the selection.

Calling the add-on#

After all preparations are completed, the add-on can be accessed via Extras > Documents.

The view of the "Extras" menu may differ due to different rights and/or additional installed add-ons.
