Attachments File Share - Installation

Case Manager Extensions are installed in the Extension Manager section of the Configuration Tools. When browsing to the Extension Manager section, you will see a list of all the installed extensions, their versions, and their enabled status.

Extension Manager in Configuration Tools

To install a new extension, click the Add button on the toolbar. You can then select the extension DLL file to install. The file name of the Attachments File Share Extension is

CaseManager.Extension.AttachmentFileShare.dll

Some distributions of Case Manager may already include the extension in the CaseManagerExtensions folder. Otherwise, the extension can also be downloaded from the casemanager.tech website.

When selecting the extension, you will be presented with information to confirm the extension to be installed.

Installing Attachments File Share Extension

The installation process detects whether the extension includes database changes, and will prompt you to make these changes to the database. If the extension was previously installed and the selected extension version is newer than the installed version, you may also be prompted to upgrade the installation.

After completing the steps above, the extension will be listed with the other installed extensions in the Extension Manager. By default, the extension is enabled, making its functionality available in the Case Manager applications.

The Attachments File Share Extension has extension-specific settings, which may be accessed using the Extension Settings in the Configuration Tools. The Extension Settings opens a new window that lists all the extensions with settings. Select the Attachments File Share from the list, which opens up the following:

Extension Settings - Attachments File Share

There is only one setting (the attachment file path), which should be set to the network location used by workstations to connect to the network share used for the attachments.

In previous versions of Case Manager, the file-share attachments were part of the standard functionality and not installed as an extension. The Attachments File Path setting was located in the Case Manager Settings in the Configuration Tools. That setting is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. During the installation of the Attachments File Share extension, however, the value of that setting is copied to the new location.
