[Mayan EDMS: 2337] Restricting upload to one document

[Anthony Sica]

Greetings - I am working to adapt mayan for a particular need and wondering
if there is a way to only allow upload of one document. as you know,
currently the system allows multiple files uploads for a single
metadata....

Thanks - love the platform!

I'm not use I understand. I think you are mixing several concepts.

* Document types are classes of documents: receipts, statements, invoices.
* Documents are instances of document types. You can upload many for each
but each document can only be of one type.
* Metadata is just user data that you attach to documents.

You can control which document types can be uploaded by creating a new
Role/Group combination and granting the document create permission for the
specific Document types you can to allow users of that Role/Group to be
able to upload.

When you create a metadata type it is not automatically available to all
document types, you have to define the relationship between the metadata
types and document types. This is how you control which documents can have
which metadata assigned.

Hi Eric - I think my question is much simpler. :)

I would like the ability to only upload one document when doing a document
upload. in the case of a document type: invoice, I would only want to
provide the ability to enter the metadata for the invoice and then upload
invoice. in my current setup,

in my current setup, I enter information about an invoice and when I upload
two documents, it stores two invoices documents with the same invoice
property....

make sense?
