Macroview has announced an update to its Document Management Framework, DMF v7.7, which enhances and extends the native document management capabilities of SharePoint. Support for SharePoint 2013/Office 2013 has been added in the new version.

MacroView DMF v7.7 continues to support 2007 and 2010 editions of SharePoint and Office and users can have a mixture of servers running these different versions of SharePoint. with client PCs running a mixture of these versions of Office.

The new version allows for new SharePoint sites and libraries added by other users to be viewed  without the need for a bandwidth-hungry fully automatic refresh.

MacroView DMF v7.7 also allows the scope of a search to be restricted to a particular site, document library, folder or document set while a new Search Tools tab lets users order search results in descending or ascending order of Modified Date (as well as Relevance).

Save to SharePoint and support for Adobe Acrobat 11 is included.

Accelerated bulk saving of emails is a new feature that allows users to select a large number of emails (tested successfully with over 1,000) and drag and drop to save them to SharePoint. MacroView DMF v7.7 continues to auto-select an Email content type and to prompt for metadata if the destination content type contains any columns that it cannot set automatically. Within seconds of the drop (or clicking the save button in the metadata capture / profiling dialog) the save process now proceeds as a background task. Previously users had to wait while MacroView DMF checked whether each email already existed in the destination library. Now this checking and other save processing all happens in the background, so that users are quickly able to continue working in Outlook.

More detail on the  DMF v7.7 upgrade is available at the Macroview Blog.
