LSDESC Function

The LSDESC function links a Document Manager document description. To link a Document Manager document description automatically, create a new alphanumeric cell (the description being linked is alphanumeric) and enter the calculation.

Syntax

LSDESC(Document Manager number,<argument>,<language identifier>)

The argument is optional and controls the type of description that appears in the cell.

Value	Description
0	Returns the Report Heading from the document properties.
1	Legacy behavior. Returns the Extended Description from the document properties in Working Papers if the document is a CaseView document. Otherwise the File Path is returned.
2	Legacy behavior. Returns the Extended Description from the document properties in Working Papers if the document is a CaseView document. Otherwise the File Path is returned. If no Extended Description is present, the document name will appear in the cell.
3	Returns the Extended Description
4	Returns the Extended Description if one exists. Otherwise returns the Description.

If you do not provide an argument, CaseView returns the Report Heading from the document properties.

Example 1

LSDESC("GL")

Where GL is the Document Manager number with a Report Heading of General Ledger. Therefore, the cell displays General Ledger.

Example 2

LSDESC("101","0","FRE")

In Working Papers, under Tools | Options | Languages, it is possible to specify multiple global languages. Please refer to the Working Papers help for more information on multiple language support.

Each language will have an applicable Identifier which can be used to draw account names and extended descriptions into CaseView. This example would link to the French version of the name for Leadsheet 101.
