Uploading Laserfiche Briefcases

A Laserfiche briefcase is a collection of documents and folders compressed and exported from Laserfiche. You can upload briefcases to a repository using the Laserfiche app.

Note: You must have the Import feature right to upload briefcases.

To upload a briefcase using the Android App

  1. Press the Add button at the bottom right.
  2. Press Upload File.
  3. Choose if you want to upload the briefcase stored on the local device or from another application (e.g., Google Drive). Navigate to and select the briefcase you want to upload.
  4. Before uploading, you will be presented with some options:
    • Next to Folder, press the down arrow to select the repository folder you want the briefcase uploaded to. From this dialog box, press the Plus button to add a new folder. You can continue to add folders and create a new folder structure for the briefcase. Press the Refresh button to refresh the folder path.
    • Next to Volume, press the down arrow to select the volume the briefcase should be uploaded to.
    • If the briefcase contains a folder with the same name of an existing folder in the repository upload location, selecting the checkbox next to Merge with existing folder structure will merge the contents of the uploaded briefcase folder with the repository folder. Clearing this option will upload the briefcase folder, and its contents, with a different name.
    • When finished, press OK.

      Import Briefcase Options

    Note: If the briefcase is password protected, you will need to provide a password before it will upload.

  5. Once the upload starts, you will be presented with more options:
    • Select the Ignore all fields in this briefcase checkbox if you do not want the fields associated with the entries inside the briefcase to be uploaded with the briefcase.
    • Under Template, you will see a list of the templates associated with the content inside the briefcase. Select the Ignore checkboxes next to the briefcase templates you do not want to upload. Leave the checkboxes blank to upload the briefcase templates. Tap the template to rename it.
    • When finished, press OK.

    Note: You can upload multiple briefcases at a time.
