Dear All,with LN 8.x there is a possibility or some example to manage the document versioning/modifing ?

i have a document with some Approvers (es: Person1, Person2,…,Person_N)

the costumer wants that each Person can modify the document as they please and trace the changes in each situation… so, we cannot implement an a top-down approval cycle but a “simple” document locking:

Step1- Person1 get/take control of the document. (the others Persons cannot edit/modify at this time)

Step2- Person2 makes some changes (Edit fields subject,body etc…)

Step3- Person3 release the document and the application trace the versioning (for example by creating as Response document copy of the original document)

when the document is released each Persons can take-control of the document. The Approval cycle will end when all Persons perform each steps 1, 2 and 3.

Thank you

D.

Subject: Authors Field and Roles

You could have different solutions for this issue. Some of solutions may require you to rethink your requirements for ease of development.

In general you should be able to achieve your requirements using one or more of the following: Authors fields, Reader fields, ACL, and Roles.

You probably will be able to do most of it with just Authors, ACL and Roles.
