Hello,

Are you talking about just creating a Unique ID for documents? We did this by creating a policy component that pulls an ID number from a table we created within the Alfresco database.

Hello Jarrett,

I am looking for a way to generate an ID in different format. Instead of "0001" something like "GEN-0001". Basically, not just plain ID, but in different format with a prefix depending on other aspects.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I've created a new aspect DocumentID in the customModel.xml that must be filled automatically with a Javascript which generate id's. This Javascipt will be executed as a Business rule when documents are created/uploaded. Can anyone help me to define this Javascript?

Thanks in advance,

Hi all,

I've created an aspect with the following javascript code:

var props = new Array (1);
props ["custom:DocumentID"] = 8;
document.addAspect("custom:DocumentID",props);
‍‍‍‍

This script is executed when a document is created. Now i want to retrieve the number 8 in a javascript.
Can anyone at least help me with the code (javascript method) that is used to retrieve the value from an aspect?

Thanks in advance,
Jenny

After installing the Records Management amp, you can

Assign the rma:Record aspect to a space
Edit the space's details and under Record Category Identifier type the prefix you want your files to have (e.g GEN).

So next time you upload something to this folder it will be given the name of the prefix together with a serial number (e.g GEN-0002)

hope that helps
