Limitation/Restiction of object classes on creating document

[johnnyecm]

Hi,

We are using OpenWorkdesk 4.0.0.0 Final.
We have a lot of object classes in our ECM system. On creating new Documents (Add Documents) we need to filter/restrice the displayed "Document Classes" .

We found this 2 options (owplugins.xml)

    <!– Name of an objectclass to use for new object instance or let the user select –>
    <ObjectClass />

    <!– Base objectclass form where the user can select if no ObjectClass is defined. If empty, the rootclass of the ECM-System.–>
    <ObjectClassParent />
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but with these you can only filter one object class, or define one object class parent (displays the object class an all of his children)

Is there another way to do this?

Best regards,
JohnnyECM

Hey Johnny,

this feature will be part of our next release 4.1 => it is already implemented and tested. The new configuration will look like this:

   <ObjectClassSelection>
      <ObjectClass includeSubClasses="false">class1</ObjectClass>
      <ObjectClass includeSubClasses="true">class2</ObjectClass>
      <ObjectClass includeSubClasses="false">class3</ObjectClass>
    </ObjectClassSelection>‍‍‍‍‍

==> this allows you to define several document classes to appear in the "Selection dialog". Furthermore, you can define for each class if the subclasses should also be displayed.

This will solve your issue - please give some feedback after you have tested the 4.1 release.


Bye
Christian
