Document sharing between Docs@Work and Web@Work

Document sharing is available between Docs@Work (verion 2.7.0 and iOS 11.0 and higher) and Web@Work. This means that you can access documents from Docs@Work and use Web@Work to upload the documents to any web page.

To configure this feature you need to enable the following key-value pairs.

  • MI_ENABLE_DOC_SHARING: Enables document sharing in Docs@Work.
  • MI_AC_ACCESS_CONTROL_ID: Controls access to the documents present in Docs@Work. If this key-value pair is not present in Docs@Work configuration, then Docs@Work documents are accessible to all the apps.

Add this key-value pair to both Docs@Work and Web@Work configuration, to allow access to only Web@Work.

  • MI_AC_DOCUMENT_EXTENSION_DLP: Supports documents sharing between Web@Work and Docs@Work in an unencrypted format.

To enable this, set MI_AC_DOCUMENT_EXTENSION_DLP = "ALL" in the Docs@Work configuration.

  • MI_SHARED_GROUP_ID: Controls file sharing between a subset of AppConnect apps. The value for this KVP has to be same when used across AppConnect apps. This is an optional KVP.

Configuring document sharing from Docs@Work to Web@Work

To share documents from Docs@Work to Web@Work for uploading:

  1. Set MI_ENABLE_DOC_SHARING = YES in Docs@Work configuration.
  2. Set MI_AC_ACCESS_CONTROL_ID = <string> KVP on both Web@Work and Docs@Work configuration to access the documents. The value should be set to the same string for both Docs@Work and Web@Work configurations.
  3. Set MI_AC_DOCUMENT_EXTENSION_DLP = "ALL" in Docs@Work configuration.

Web@Work 2.5.0 supports document sharing only from Docs@Work to Web@Work in an unencrypted format.

When the MI_AC_DOCUMENT_EXTENSION_DLP = "All" key-value pair is set in Docs@Work configuration, then the documents are shared in plain text to all apps passing the access control including Email+ and any other AppConnect apps.

MI_AC_DOCUMENT_EXTENSION_DLP key-value pair is not mandatory when Docs@Work and Email+ are configured for document sharing and if the key-value value is missing, documents shared from Docs@Work are AppConnect encrypted and Web@Work does not support AppConnect encrypted documents for uploading.
