Custom Document Index

[sudhash]

Dear All,

I represent a large Logistics company in Malaysia. The company wants to adapt Alfresco for document management.

I believe there was an evaluation done. One of the key requirements is as follows:

1. Maintaining custom document indexes for different kinds of documents
2. Indexing the documents based on these custom document indexes
3. Searching on these custom document indexes

The company was telling me that they were not been able to achieve this (with whatever preliminary effort).

I just came into the arrangement. I have worked with Zope before, not Alfresco.

I tried to search for this in the forums, I'm could not understand some of them, if they were related or not.  I tried to install (all default) & create some spaces, rules, content, etc. There are some content properties that comes up. I am not if this screen is customizable.

Please help me with this.

Thanks
Sudhash

What do you mean by document indexes?

Hi,

Take a look here to see if it has the information you need:

For e.g. I want to have all the invoices being managed from Alfresco. I would like to have custom properties such as Invoice Number, Invoice Party, Invoice Date, Invoice Amount captured. Based on these data, I would like to have some searches made so that the invoices are easily manageable.

And invoices can have a small workflow as well.

This is what I meant by custom document indexes.

Looking at the wiki given, I think custom meta-data is what I am looking at.

Hi

All meta data and content is indexed by default and is available for search.
The indexing behaviour can be controlled in the type model. It is all on the wiki.
