Documents

The Documents settings are used to control how the document-upload feature works within Lucity Web, Mobile, and Citizen Portal.

Field

Function

security Permissions

Always Delete file when document references are deleted if no other items reference file *

This setting controls whether deleting a document from Lucity automatically removes the underlying file from the file share. This will happen regardless of whether the user has permission via Active Directory file permissions. Users without the Documents - Delete File permission will still be asked if they want to delete the file but the file will not be deleted.

Documents with file size greater than given size, are opened using file path.

Default size is 500MB

Limits the size of documents pushed to the client using the Lucity document server. If a document is larger than the specified maximum, the system instead provides the path to the file, which the user can copy/paste into Windows Explorer. Limiting file size reduces the load on the server.

IT Admin

Enable External Document Integration

Integrates Lucity with external documentation programs. When this setting is enabled, a new button appears on every grid in Lucity Web. The button can be configured to link to an external document system.
