Replacing the Infor Logo in IDM Ouput Management

Denis MARETTE

Hello,

I have studied a little bit more closely the mechanism of the prints supported by M3 IDM Output Management.

If my understanding is good, all standard layouts use a logo which is in the File directory of IDM and which is called LogoMedium.

So, in principle, if we download a new version of this file but with a client logo as content, it should allow us to update all the layouts in one go. Is this way of doing the "good practice"?

But I still have 2 questions about this:

- There are several LogoMedium files after the Content Pack and the Implementation Accelerator method, as in the Word Add-In the query is /MDS_File[@MDS_Name="LogoMedium"], how to make sure that the file I download in this same directory is going to be the one that will be used? I made several attempts by taking care of naming the elements and attributes but it is always the Infor logo that takes precedence
- Then, on a longer term management, how can we avoid that the logo is not updated after the deployment of a new version?

Thank you for your advice

Hi Dens

Yes... the logo will be replaced for all documents in one go. 

However, the IDM output uses the first instance if the Xquery returns more than one record. In practice this is the oldest record. So when you upload a new one with the same name it takes no effect. That will be the same if a new standard logo is uploaded later. 

You have to clean up all the old infor records. Either rename or delete them.
