Possible issues

Occasionally, you may receive an error message when trying to save a document to the DMS. This can happen if the person listed as DocAuthor in the document is not known in the DMS. You can resolve this by:

• Removing the person's email address and only entering the person's name
• Entering an email address that is known in the DMS
• In the DMS settings, ensure that the DocAuthor's email address does not need to be included when saving the document.
