Microsoft Word: creating and configuring jobs

The octoplant system offers the possibility to create jobs that periodically check whether the document on the device corresponds to the last checked-in version and, if necessary, copy a newer document to the octoplant server.

Prerequisite is a licensed installation of Microsoft Word on the octoplant server or a octoplant agent.

To create a job for Microsoft Word, proceed as follows:

1. Start the AdminClient and open the Jobs module.
2. In the Project tree, select your Word or Documentation component.
3. In the menu tab, click on Create or drag-and-drop the components into the Jobs section.
4. In the Job Configuration area, select the Network (UNC) or Local Directory upload type, depending on the location of your document that you want the job to access.
5. Make sure the desired settings are in place for the following sections: General, Notification, Upload and compare, Create a version automatically after job run. The Notification and Create a version automatically after job run sections are only displayed if the necessary settings have been implemented.
6. When required, configure the sections Advanced and File specifications and compare settings.
7. Save the job.

Test the job by clicking on the button Execute selected jobs once. Results from job execution and potential errors can be seen in Job results.
