Yes, although the documentation to do this isn't in place yet. It's a two-stage process…

Essentially, you need to create a custom model type that represents your list. Make your your custom type is a child of dl:dataListItem. Currently the "duplicate" action only duplicates properties and associations directly applied to the custom list type, so you can't create deeply nested data structures just yet. The create form configuration to decide which type fields you want to appear in the Create, Edit and Data Grid.

It might look long-winded, but actually gives you lots of control.

The "To Do List" out-of-the-box sample model is defined in datalistModel.xml and looks like this:

      <type name="dl:todoList">
         <title>To Do List</title>
         <parent>dl:dataListItem</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="dl:todoTitle">
               <title>Title</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="dl:todoDueDate">
               <title>Due Date</title>
               <type>d:datetime</type>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="dl:todoPriority">
               <title>Priority</title>
               <type>d:int</type>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            </property>
            <property name="dl:todoNotes">
               <title>Notes</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            </property>
         </properties>
         <associations>
            <association name="dl:assignee">
               <title>Assignee</title>
               <source>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>cm:person</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>false</many>
               </target>
            </association>
            <association name="dl:attachments">
               <title>Attachments</title>
               <source>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </source>
               <target>
                  <class>cm:cmobject</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </target>
            </association>
         </associations>
      </type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The corresponding form configuration in share-form-config.xml is:

   <!– dl:todoList type –>
   <config evaluator="model-type" condition="dl:todoList">
      <forms>
         <!– Create item form –>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="dl:todoTitle" />
               <show id="dl:todoDueDate" />
               <show id="dl:todoPriority" />
               <show id="dl:todoNotes" />
               <show id="dl:assignee" />
               <show id="dl:attachments" />
            </field-visibility>
            <create-form template="../data-lists/forms/row-new.ftl" />
            <appearance>
               <field id="dl:todoNotes">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl" />
               </field>
            </appearance>
         </form>

         <!– Data Grid view –>
         <form id="datagrid">
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="dl:todoTitle" />
               <show id="dl:todoDueDate" />
               <show id="dl:todoPriority" />
               <show id="dl:assignee" />
               <show id="dl:attachments" />
            </field-visibility>
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>

   <!– dl_todoList type (existing nodes) –>
   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="dl:todoList">
      <forms>
         <!– Data List pop-up edit form –>
         <form>
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="dl:todoTitle" />
               <show id="dl:todoDueDate" />
               <show id="dl:todoPriority" />
               <show id="dl:todoNotes" />
               <show id="dl:assignee" />
               <show id="dl:attachments" />
            </field-visibility>
            <edit-form template="../data-lists/forms/row-edit.ftl" />
            <appearance>
               <field id="dl:todoNotes">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl" />
               </field>
            </appearance>
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

We'll likely be bundling further samples in with a future release, so it would be interesting to hear what people are using.

One more point: the model's i18n strings are in the Repository along with the custom model. Look in data-list-model.properties for the To Do List sample.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you Mike for your quick reply.
I guess using your explanations i will be able to make a simple address book.

Another typology of data list could be a simple issue tracker. But I think this needs a minimum workflow that can't be done in data lists context, right?

Remember data list items are all Repository nodes, so you can use workflow, rules, etc. just as for normal content items.

Note however that rules don't currently fire on 3.3dev due to: http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-2186

Thanks,
Mike

This is brilliant.
We are really looking forward to the datalists feature.

Is it possible to create a hierarchical data list?
Preferably with the possibility of combining different data sets for the main element and next level element.

Remember data list items are all Repository nodes, so you can use workflow, rules, etc. just as for normal content items.

Another question - will it be possible to automatically add entries in the data lists using Rules or Workflow? I would like to set up a list of ready made documents and would like to add entry in data list using rule from DocumentLibrary. And automatically fill out the entry form with relevant document attributes.

My responsibility is customer business needs not a programming, then sorry for questions that programmers may seem primitive.

'm not sure exactly what you mean here - could you give a concrete example please?

Yes, you can use a Rule that fires a script to do this. The script would create the correct type of node and populate the properties as required.

I will try to figure out how to explain desired functionality. This classification is one of our local record-keeping requirement.
Thanks, MikeH!

It certainly does look flexible, however I'm afraid some of your explanation has gone over my head. I'm comfortable enough working out the XML structure and I agree that it appears to be very very flexible, however no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the data lists to appear. I'm running the community version of 3.3g.

I have the following two files in my extensions directory:-

I've tried to extrapolate what is necessary by looking at the existing files and by watching this video, so I could very easily have gotten something wrong. I suspect I need to register the model, but I don't know exactly how to do that.

If you could give me a hint as to where I might be going wrong, I'd be most appreciative and will probably go and add a wiki page to ease things for others.

Your name prefix is wrong. Change your model's property prefixes to "sci". Like below. Check the alfresco.log during start up for any errors. If the model file is correct, you should at least see the Membership Database list as an option when creating a new data list.

The simplest way to register a model is to upload the file to Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Models folder and then Activate it.

Re: Data lists in Share 3.3

rjch — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 06:05:39 GMT

The simplest way to register a model is to upload the file to Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Models folder and then Activate it.

Thanks greatly for the hints - I'm making progress. I've sorted out these remaining issues, however when I activate the model, I'm getting the error message "A system error happened during the operation: 06040331 Failed to parse model". My Alfresco log gives the following cause:-

Caused by: org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Expected "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0}model" end tag, found "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0}type" start tag (line 34, col 45)

My memberModel.xml is now as follows:-

Problem found. I didn't wrap my <type> block in a <types> block. Now I've been able to create my membership list.

Thanks for your help.

MikeH, zaizi,

Thanks for all the help in making custom data lists, works like a charm.

One question though: If i create a custom data list as explained by MikeH, and i click create data list in share, it shows me all the available data lists in a popup window. All those standard lists (todo, contact, etc…) have all a short description under their name. Except my created lists. Where can those descriptions be added? Am i looking over something?

Thanks in advance.

i managed to create the datalist and can edit it.
but it shows more fields than required.
I create a new form, but don't know where I should store it.

–> how do I deploy the mentioned "share-form-config.xml"?

thx in advance
