GUIDs and Indexing

KnowledgeTree Commercial includes a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) plugin.

Note: This plugin is not available in KnowledgeTreeLive.

The plugin writes a GUID to each document to provide information about the document to the KnowledgeTree Office Add-in. The GUID inserts a unique ID (a combination of the content version ID and the document ID) inside the metadata layer in Microsoft Office documents. KnowledgeTree Office Add-in retrieves the GUID from the KnowledgeTree server to automatically detect the correct version of the document.

The GUID creates a copy of the current content version, which may be restored by the KnowledgeTree administrator, working in Administrator Mode, from the document's Version History page.

Note: Configure the GUID inserter through KnowledgeTree's web interface, in Administration - System Configuration - General Settings. The GUID Inserter setting on this page defines whether to backup the latest content version before inserting the GUID.
