Dear Forum My OMS generates .zip files and an "upload instruction" containing all the required data to generate a new document: The file to upload, the title, the keywords, the permissions, .... all is automatically generated by our OMS. But currently an employee has to process each "upload instruction manually" (context menu, choose 'new' > 'File(s)', upload file, set title, set keywords, set permissions, .... scroll down, click save, ... and this for 50 files monthly. It's a dummy task which takes 3hrs ... Is there any possibilty to automate this process? We can style the "upload instrunction" in any form (csv, sql stmt, ....) to match any existing automation process. Short: how do I upload 50 files each having a different title and different permissions/usernames? cheerioh & happy new year! SiS

There are ways to automate adding content to DMX, but it is beyond the scope of a thread here to go into much detail. Provided the process is running inside of DNN you can reference DXM's core dll and use the API class to access a select number of generic DMX methods.

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
