The best way is to create your own custom type representing the data you need to collect (a leave application) this will then allow you to create and edit instances of this type, using the built-in forms capabilities. The best place to start is http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Data_Dictionary_Guide then see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Displaying_Custom_Metadata for details on configuring the forms.

Hi Gavinc,

I went through those wiki pages. But those pages are mentioning about adding new meta-data and aspects which can be added after creating a document. What I need is to make a dialog, add my details (Leave application) and finally make a doc regarding that just like what we do for creating a new document. Can you tell me where I should start?

Thanks,
Jayakrishnan S

Good point, this page contains links to several other wiki pages that show adding new dialogs, customising wizards etc: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Customisation_Guide

Can I ask a question in the wrong topic, but still hoping for an answer.
Whats API Alfresco has?
I want to connect my project to them. Example - Share.
Thank you for your attention!
