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, 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.

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

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?

Hi,  We’re in the process of setting up Quality Management System and looking to understand if there are watermark options available for printing of certain document types (e.g. draft). Are there any header/footers able to be applied also? Many thanks,Rachel 

Hi there group, I am attempting to create useful dashboards for Suppliers module data. I can view this easily from the module tab but also want to create a dashboard with Suppliers that are due review. Which data source is needed for the data required?  Many Thanks, Tom

Hi all,  Documents can sometimes be missed and not distributed to the right people if they have changed roles or if a new person has joined the team and there has not been time to update the copyholder templates. Has anyone else experienced this? Would it be possible to create dynamic copyholder templates, i.e. Distribute document IF Job Role “xyz” is TRUE? If a workaround already exists and I’m not aware, please let me know!! :) Thank you.   Kind regardsMonika Blinstrubyte

How are people using Draft Approved documents?  Specifically, I thought that this was a stage where poeple could be trained on a new revision of a document ‘before’ the old revision was superseded and the new one became active.  I can’t see how to setup document training that is initated at this stage.

Hello, Is there a way to assign a secondary document location to a document? I want it to appear in both folders. Thanks,KT!--a=1-->

We are currently working on a training course module in Q-Pulse and would like your guidance on managing groups of attendees effectively. Could you please provide us with instructions or recommendations on how to handle this, as shown below?    

Is it possible to link a CA/PA record to an incident or record?

Hi, I was wondering if its possible to bring back a document from Archive? One of my team archived in error but I don’t see an option to bring the document back,  does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible in IQM (either now or in the future) to upload an asset list using a spreadsheet, must the same way as the People module can upload users?   In our situation, as we integrate new departments into our IQM system, they each bring their list of assets that need to be uploaded.  It would be much easier to do this as a spreadsheet as opposed to making singular entries in the Asset module. CheersTony O

I am currently looking at rolling out Approval of documents on the platform and was wondering if the constant need for email, password and verification could be switched off.  I can see it becoming cumbersome and people might try to skip the step

No one seems to be getting automatic notifications on their email every time I make a document change that requires approval or acknowledgment from the team. The notifications are only visible once one logs in their QPulse account   People cannot acknowledge documents, as the acknowledgement button (the green tick symbol on the upper part of the screen) is greyed out Documents that have been previously uploaded in PDF form (directives, manuals, etc., like the ones below) do not open. When we click on them the software crashes

I have created a course in Ideagen Academy and it has recently been updated. Now, once people have completed the course, both revision 1 and revision 2 of the course show in their training plan as a requirement for their competencies. Is there a way to archive completed requirements within competencies to only show the most recent requirement?
