Configuring and Using the Laser App Anywhere Integration

To use the Laser App Anywhere integration, you will first need to add an STP Alias and associate it with a form. You can then configure properties for the forms that will be stored in Laserfiche. Once this has been done, users can use the integration to store Laser App Anywhere forms to Laserfiche.

Adding an STP Alias

  1. Browse to the Laser App Anywhere Manager Login page and log in.
  2. Click the Administration tab.
  3. Click STP - Aliases.
  4. On the Straight Through Processing Configurations page, click Create New.
  5. In the STP Alias Configuration dialog box:
    1. In Alias/Configuration Name, specify a label to identify this STP alias.
    2. In Button Text, specify the desired toolbar button label. When you open a form, the form tab contains this toolbar button.
    3. In Posting Format, specify XML w/ PDF or XML w/ fillable PDF.
    4. In Set Test Mode, specify the desired option.
    5. In Destination URL, select the URL to your web service. The URL should look similar to the following, with 000ab000 replaced with the actual value in your URL:

      6. https://app.laserfiche.com/LaserAppReceiver/ReceivePDFLAAnywhere?repo=r-000ab000

      Note: Your administrator must contact Laser App to add your URL to the Destination URL drop-down list.

  6. Click OK.

Associating an STP Alias with a Form

  1. Browse to the Laser App Anywhere Manager Login page and log in.
  2. On the Dashboard tab, click Search for Forms.
  3. In the Filter by drop-down list, select desired form and click the ADD TO QUEUE icon.
  4. Under the Open Forms button, click Configure STP Alias.
  5. In the Associate Forms with STP Alias dialog box, select the STP Alias you created above and click Save.

Note: Use the Edit Bindings button on the Administration tab to associate multiple forms with an STP Alias at once. You can also use the Edit Bindings page to remove forms from an STP Alias.

Configuring Laser App Anywhere Integration Settings

The Integrations section of Repository Administration allows administrators to configure the way your Laser App forms will be stored in Laserfiche. These settings should be configured before users store forms in Laserfiche. You can set field mapping, the target folder, and the document name. Administrators can also use Laser App tokens to set these properties dynamically.

  1. If you are not already in the repository administration section of Laserfiche, click your user name in the upper right corner and select Repository Administration.
  2. Under Additional Items, select Integrations.
  3. Select the Laser App tab.

    Note: The following properties can be configured dynamically using tokens that correspond to information in Laser App. For a list of available tokens, see Laser App Anywhere Tokens.

  4. In the Field mapping option, configure the way that Laserfiche will store information about the form in the document's fields:
    1. Click Add/remove fields and select the Laserfiche field in which you want to store information from your Laser App form. Click OK.
    2. Click the token button (>) to select a token that corresponds to the Laser App information you want to store, or type the token name.
  5. In the Target folder option, type the path where you want to store Laser App forms. To set the path dynamically, click the token button and select a token that corresponds to the Laser App information you want to store, or type the token name.
  6. In the Document Name option, type the name of the saved Laser App forms. To set the name dynamically, click the token button and select a token that corresponds to the Laser App information you want to store, or type the token name.
  7. Click Save at the top of the page to save your configuration changes.

Using the Laser App Anywhere Integration to Store Forms in Laserfiche

Once an administrator has configured the Laser App integration settings, users can download the integration to store forms in Laserfiche. The integration must be downloaded by ever user who will use the Laser App integration, and is downloaded in the Laserfiche repository.

  1. In Laser App Anywhere, go to the Dashboard.
  2. Under Filter by, select your form.
  3. Select Associate an STP Alias with a Form.
  4. Click the post button.

Repository Access

The integration signs in to the repository using a dedicated Laserfiche user named LaserAppUser. Administrators can configure repository entry access rights for this user.
