Server-side document production is a new feature which switches document production from client side using the Active-x control (i.e. run on the user's machine) to server side (i.e. completed on the Gold-Vision server). This carries a number of benefits,

  • Document can be created in any browser, not just IE.
  • Users do not require Microsoft Word to be installed on their machines to create documents.
  • Documents can be produced from any device, including phones and tablets.

Enabling Server-side document production

Server-side document production can be enabled (and disabled) per User in the Admin Console via a new option on the User management screen. The option can also be found in the bottom right, entitled 'Enable Server Side Document Production' or by the user by clicking on their Preferences.

Current Restrictions

Additional features will beadded over successive updates. Please note that as of 6.6, the following restrictions apply,

  • The option to publish a created document to an email body is not available at this point.
  • The option to open a document from the Gold-Vision documents list and then save it directly back to its server location is only available via Internet Explorer on desktop devices at this point.
