Hello,I’m a relatively new user of IQM 7. We are in the process of building up content for the business before it goes on wider release to our user base.I’ve dabbled with creating Dashboards, and while I have no problem with the designer functionality, understanding the data sources can be a challenge. Having created a couple of dashboards with the intention of displaying a particular type of information, I could not then find the data source I needed. So now there are redundant entries in the Dashboard list.Is there a way to delete a Dashboard from the list after it has been created? I cannot find any way to do this. I have System Wide Access.We are running version 7.8.0.0 at present.Thanks.

We are a large organization in the process of migrating from on-prem to cloud.We have an automation to create/update/archive users via the API and keep everything in sync with our IDP. The problem is that the API can’t add UPN (User Principal Name), which is required for SSO to work.How are you dealing with this? Certainly you aren’t doing a manual daily bulk upload, which the documentation would leave me to believe is the only option.

Hello--I am wondering if it is possible to link a document from the documents module to a sharepoint page.  In the past we used sharepoint as our QMS system, so we were able to provide a link on our homepage so that team members could reference the document directly. Is it possible to provide a link directly to the current revision from the documents module?

We’ve just updated to 7.8.1.1 and are having loads of issues with searching and multi layer lists in most modules. Is anyone else having the same problems?

Hello,Is there anyone using IQM or Q-Pulse that has adapted the Asset module to also provide a way to monitor and manage equipment replacement?I come from a large Pathology company with a significant equipment list - many of the items on the list have a specific lifespan, with planned obsolescence required to ensure replacements are forecast and obtained in a timely manner.The obsolescence plan is generally based on three elements - projected lifespan, current condition, and criticality.  These elements are assessed and recorded on a regular basis so budget for replacement can be allocated.Is there anyone with experience of using the Asset module to help monitor, record and report this?   Cheers Tony 

Despite having assigned a user group the ‘CA/PA Edit Additional Fields Permission’ in the CA/PA Module, the entire Additional Fields sections remains greyed out for them. I have populated it with a dropdown to select from in User Field 1 and I can use the dropdown on records with my system admin access, but the users cannot regardless of whether I add the permission to the dynamic role(s) or their relevant static permission group. Any idea what’s preventing this from working???

Has anyone come across this error when attempting to save a change document to the document detail? I’ve attempted to save this multiple times and I get this message. This hasn’t happened with any other documents that I’ve worked with. I’ve tried to see about changing the extension itself (it’s a Word doc), well more like saving it again as a .docx to see if that helped at all- it didn’t. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! 

Hello. Does anyone know whether it is possible to cancel document read & acknowledge sent in error to users?

Is anyone else having an issue with saving a draft document after submitting for approvals? I have had this issue multiple times now, where once all approvals are complete and I try to make any changes to the document and then save it, I receive the save error at the top of the record. The tool tip does not show up anywhere in the record, but when I hover over the save error I get a popup message that says “You must specify some text in your note”.  Also, if I try to Activate the document using the wizard in the  desktop client I can go through all the windows and then the last box has the “Save” button greyed out. 

Hi there,Is there a security issue with enabling the web reporting portal in unauthenticated mode (no SSO), where external users from anywhere in the world can upload attachments?I’m specifically concerned about the risk of someone uploading a file that contains malware. How is this normally managed in practice? do systems in Ideagen usually scan uploads, restrict file types, or isolate them before we access and possibly download them? What are the best practices for handling this kind of setup or is it always recommended to be authenticated (which means external parties cant fill the form)Thanks,Alex

When using the web version, I have been unable to load .xls files. I get a notification stating that it is a forbidden file type.  So I typically revert to the desktop version, as I have never gotten the error using that.  Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting that I need to change? 

Hi All, Many years ago, in a previous job, I had the pleasure of attending an Ideagen conference that I believe was help in Nottingham but I can’t quite remember.I do remember one of the attendees giving a presentation on how they created bespoke reports to send to suppliers for notification of complaints.In my current role I am back working with Q-Pulse, or it’s new identity as Ideagen Quality Management Professional, and would like to update the look and feel of the reports we are using for supplier (and customer) notifications. If you are still around and are able to share the information/presentation that would be fantastic.If anyone else has a good how-to guide for setting up reports that would also be much appreciated!Thank you

Hello,I have been reviewing the skills catalog in search of courses or a curriculum for the people and training modules. I have not been able to find any. Are there some that I am missing?  I was hoping to get our HR people through some of those so that they have a better understanding to build out the matrices and competencies.  We do have some success training in June, but I was hoping to give them some information in advance.  

Hello, Quick question for the group. Is there a way for an individual who has a ‘primary license’ to be logged in with a secondary license if there are no primary licenses available at that time? Is there a way to set it that way? As an example, earlier this week, I had two associates who were unable to log in because there were no primary licenses available, but what they were logging in to do did not require the actual primary license at that time.   Does that make sense?Thanks in advance! Michelle

The QM department has reported that a specific document has been marked as obsolete in the system. They would like to track and identify the user who performed this action, along with the date and time it occurred.Could anyone please advise which database tables or logs we should check to retrieve this information?Your guidance is appreciated.

Does anyone know if it possible for a Document Type assigned with a document numbering prefix to automatically assign the next sequential number but formatted with leading zeros (fixed number of digits). For example SOP00005, SOP00134, etc. I seem to only be able to get SOP5, SOP134.  We really need to ensure the total number of characters for document ID is consistent of always being 8 characters. We are currently using version 7.8.0.

Hello,As we are using IQMS as our document control system, and we are using the audit module is it possible to link documents from the documents module to the audit module without having to upload the document again? 

Hello, A user at my workplace is receiving the following error and I am uncertain how to resolve the problem.  

Is there a problem currently with the Password reset feature, as  the system says that the New password doesn’t match former password, which I find rather odd considering the reason I’d be resetting the password is to give a user a new password. I’m using Ideagen Quality Management Version 7.7

Within the Dashboards feature of IQM in the Web based client, i’d like to create a list with the number of days since copyholders were notified. Would anyone know how to create a calculated field for this?

I’ve been tasked with creating a report for outstanding document approvals within IQM and i’ve noticed that there is a Ideagen created dashboard for outstanding copyholders in the dashboards section of the web client.I’ve been able to show this to my superiors, who like the fact that it is interactive and can show names and departments of who has not acknowledged the document.Now, has anyone been able to create a dashboard, similar to the one i’ve described, that can show all outstanding document approvals? If so, would you be able to share how it was set up so I can also set it up in my company’s database?Thanks in advance.

I can’t get any answers from support since they quit responding to my emails for the past 2 weeks.All we’re trying to do is move a Q Pulse Database from one SQL server to another.  We’ve actually completed that task, and everything shows up when we connect to it, but we get an error.  When We connect to the DB and try to open a file from the repository, we get an error that says:Could not open part.Could not lock the part ####. Does it have something to do with the old DB connecting to the repository/Network Share.Do we need to create a new DB and then move the data to it.Do we need to move the repository/Network share to a new server.

When I used Qpulse some years ago, it had the functionality of downloading some audit checklists based on ISO standards. Is this option still available?

I’m looking to see if there is any method that makes it possible to download documents/attachments akin to an API?The Document Retrieval Service looked promising at first, but upon seeing the interface shown in "Using the DRS", it doesn’t appear to serve that purpose?
