The setup steps are described in the Visual Process Flow (VPF) below followed by detailed steps. To assign VPF, see Assigning Visual Process Flows

Step 1. Configure SharePoint If using it to store documents

a. Logon to SharePoint to check details and security and create required fields. Refer to Setup Document Management Link with SharePoint for Office 365

b. Use I/M Setup\ Options on the SharePoint tab to define the version of SharePoint you are using, together with the SharePoint server and site details.

Step 2. Use I/M Setup>Options> Notes/DML/Extender Tray Tab:

a. Automatically Start the Notes/DML Tray- Generally leave set to "Yes"

b. Configure which Sage 300 Fields/Screens display documents

Note Type = Network Folder or SharePoint if using SharePoint

Enter up to 2 field labels found on the Sage 300 screens

Select the folder where documents are stored

Optionally, you can choose to show documents only on certain screens (RotoID).

If required, configure how to rename files when they are added to the Alert Box

Tip: Use the F9 / Detail screen to setup the configuration as this will show you the required fields for each Note type.

Step 3. Configure Tray Icon / Alert Box for Users

Select DML User for all users who need access to documents.
If using SharePoint, enter the SharePoint logon details.

Refresh the Tray icon if you have made any changes on the IM Setup>Options in the current session as the Tray icon reads the current setup when the company is first opened.

Tip: If you have multiple Tray icons, Close the Sage 300 desktop and re-open to refresh the configuration.

Important! Security is configured through users' access to the folders that are configured in DML. So there is no DML specific security configuration.
