Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Hi,
I've just installed openKM community version and it looks like very good.

I have only one request, how is possible have the version of doc writeable? It is possible that i load a doc already shared with other and its start version is, for example, 3.1, and I want to load it with this version and not with 1.0.
Moreover I didn't understand how the toll understand if, when I update the document, I'm going to load a minor or major version of it.

For now I have to update manually it by executing sql query (by toll or directly my MySql client) but:
1) It is not so useful and simply
2) If we have more than one version there are some constraint that make the action more difficult

Thanks

Masimo

No trivial. The problem you not see is that OpenKM can works with distinct ways to versioning ( you can create your own versionning system and that could be a problem ). But well advance in understanding how you're working:

First I would like to understood more the scenario. Yoy are uploading olders files and you want to retain this information, or this is a norm in your daily working. Users upload documents then is necessary change version. I would like understood more the scenario.

Should not be a good practice create documents into organization and when arrives at version 3 then upload ( basically dms is to prevent this kind of uses ), but if it's for initial import then I can understood.

Hi,

we have already a document management system (OWL) but I think that OpenKM is better so I'm trying to swap to your system .
So, for example, I have already shared documents we member of my team, named Doc1 (having version 3.1), Doc2 (having version 1.0).
In this case for the second one I have no issue to migrate, for the first one I have to update manually the version to maintain the same sequence, already knew by all.

Moreover, and more general, having version numeration like major.minor (that is 1.0) I saw that updating doc will change only the minor version so I have the following sequence: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and so on, but if I would change the major version (because I have a big change in the doc) how is possible to increase the first number?

I mean if my doc has version 1.6 and I want to change the major version, it should change in 2.0, but I try in different way and it seems not possible.

I hope now scenario is more clear.

Thanks and Regards
Massimo

Hi,

I would like to help you in more direct way for doing it in order to document the migration procedure from OWL to OpenKM that can be usefull for other users, please contact with me at http://www.openkm.com/en/contact.html and indicate this post url.

About change from 1.6 to 2.0 version is needed to change the default numeric versioning It's not only migration problem is needed minimal work into OpenKM.
