Default directories for PDF

oliviera — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 09:30:52 GMT

Hello,I managed to install AAAR and get reports (wasn't easy, I think I've a uncommon envirronement). I'm wondering if it's possible to have the published PDF not in Alfresco main directory, but in a subfolder?My wish would be to save the PDFs to a Share site document libraries, as in /Alfresco/Site

Hi Oliviera,

To reach you goal I suggest you two different solutions.

The first solution is to manage the dropzones of the reports directly from the AAAR table.
To understand how, I suggest you take a look to this link:
http://fcorti.com/alfresco-audit-analysis-reporting/aaar-use/aaar-advanced-configurations/
Especially in the section: How to publish one or more report in a different Alfresco’s space.

If this solution doesn't work for you, you can use a more powerful and "Alfresco oriented" solution.
You can upload the reports in a dropzone, reachable using the solution described above, and develop a rule on the dropzone that will manage the reports in the way you want.
For example you could: copy (or move) the reports in one (or more) space (spaces) with the permits you prefer, start workflow the the reports to control if the reports are viewed or not by the users, and so on.

I hope this help you.

Hi Francesco,

I'll give a shot with the AAAR_DataMart. That's easy to update. Thanks for the link.

Could we have may be in the next release of AAAR, a global field in the Configure form ? or an Advanced panel with that field

Hi Oliviera,

I have written your suggestion in the todo list. 😉
Thank you for it.

So I tried your suggestion (the first with a part of the second ) I updated the AAAR_DataMart/dm_reports table

- updated column alfresco_path with /Alfresco/Sites/aaar/documentLibrary

I had a Share site named 'aaar' where I wanted to save the reports. Apparently giving the path to the document library of this site is sufficient. You don't need a rule to move documents.
Of course the user accessing Alfresco has to belong to this aaar Share site (I'm not using admin account).

Because of the granularity, one can give a different directory for every reports

I'm happy Now I can work on the reports themselves!
