How to Apply the Custom Metadata?

[amittongaonkar]

Hi,

I have added added the Meatadata thru Records Management Console.
Question 1: Is Records Management Console compulsorily required to add the Metadata? If not, whats the other way?
Question 2: How to apply to apply the Custom Metadata properties which are been created to a Content file which I have added into Space? Can I apply/assign the Metadata to the Spcaes created as well?

Your help is appreciated….

Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,

Firstly, can I ask which version of Alfresco and the Records Management Module you are using?

Thanks,

Hi Roy,

I currently have Alfresco Evaluation 4.1.2 and the compatible RM for this version.

Any comments Roy?

I'm not sure about Records Management, but generally speaking (this should at least answer your question number two):

1. Let's say you added a couple of properties to a new aspect
2. You should edit the web-client-config-custom.xml file with the newly added aspect.
3. Then, you can go to details of your Content or Folder, select Run Action on the right, select Add Aspect and choose the one you want.

You can also define a new rule that will automatically add that aspect, if necessary.

RM module will follow the same suit as in any other Share configuration… for showing custom fields for Records you will have to add a custom-config.xml file… make the deployment read the file and addd code into it… something like the attached example file :


Hope this helps…
