Having a problem putting documents into my Revision Managed workflow. I have a Revision Managed category that has OR conditions to include all solidworks files (work fine) and I want to add doc and xls files to this same workflow. According to the admin quide and training manual I should be able to use %\Q%.xls% to add all Excel files starting with Q anywhere in the database, but this doesn't work. I also tried being more specific (since the example in the admin guide doesn't include the last %) and used %\Q%.xlsx, which still didn't work. The only way my VAR could do this during implementation week was by setting up a specific folder for the files and using %\Folder\Q%.xls%. Any ideas about why my argument won't allow my file? Many thanks.
Jeff, First it's an honor. Your blog has been very helpful on several ePDM issues. And even though it wasn't a folder rights issue you made me look more thoroughly at the setup. It was a State permissions issue. When I had been testing the CAD files I was logged in as Admin. When I went back to add the non-CAD files I logged into the database as Engineer and hadn't yet given rights to the initial state.
