DocuWare
DocuWare document management: search file cabinets by field, read document metadata and index fields, list cabinets, dialogs and trays. Platform REST API, cookie-session auth against DocuWare Cloud or an on-premises server.
Setup
Getting access
- Create a DocuWare user for the integration with read rights on the file cabinets the agent should see. DocuWare enforces cabinet and field-level rights, so a restricted user sees fewer documents rather than an error.
- Set
DOCUWARE_URLto your platform root — for DocuWare Cloud that ishttps://<tenant>.docuware.cloud/DocuWare/Platform; on premises it ishttps://<server>/DocuWare/Platform. No trailing slash. - Set
DOCUWARE_USERNAMEandDOCUWARE_PASSWORD.
