Possible issues
Occasionally, you will receive an error message when you want to save a document in the DMS. This may be because the person who is marked as DocAuthor in the document is not known in the DMS. You can solve this by:
- Delete the person's email address and fill in only the person's name
- Fill in an email address that is known in the DMS
- In the settings of the DMS, ensure that the e-mail address of the DocAuthor is not included when saving the document.
