script to execute on content rule - add metadata

gnyce — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 17:46:33 GMT

I am attempting to write a (java)script that will execute on a content rule - specifically, to add some required metadata to a record within a Records Mgmt site. I think I've managed to find the model definitions… in recordsModel.xml (and maybe recordsCustomModel.xml?)….rmariginatingOrganzationrm

OK, got originator and originatingOrganization working. Currently stuck on setting the date - what format it wants, etc. Once I get that figured out, will work on the custom metadata field.

Punted on the date - just set it to be the same as created value. Now to figure out how to address/refer-to the custom metadata field (already setup within the RM Console).

//set variable to be the created value, then set values
var PubDate = document.properties["cm:created"];
document.properties["rma:originator"] = "John Q. Originator";
document.properties["rma:originatingOrganization"] = "SOMECO Company Ltd Inc";
document.properties["rma:publicationDate"] = PubDate;
document.save();‍‍‍‍‍‍

Got it - looking at the RecordsCustomModel.xml, seemed like I could refer to the custom field by using "rmc:NameOfMyCustomField", and it worked.

document.properties["rmc:MyCustomFieldNameHere"] = "Fill in field with this metadata";‍
