How to get to documents in an objects folder?

[Jonathan_Magee]

I am trying to get to all of the documents that have been attached into a folder under my object. I have tried a couple things and have not had any success. I look forward to any suggestions for how to get my documents!

//this object has a folder called Attachments in it's Folders, which has 11 document types that can be linked under it

Hyland.Unity.WorkView.Object myObj = originalObj.GetRelatedObject("LinkToMyInformation"); 

//first try, returns nothing

DocumentList myDocs = myObj.Documents;

//second try, myObj.Class.DocumentFolders[0]  - .ID and .Name return the correct information, however the GetFolderByID returns null

FolderManagement folderManager = app.Core.FolderManagement;
Folder attachFolder = folderManager.GetFolderByID(myObj.Class.DocumentFolders[0].ID);
DocumentList myDocs = attachFolder.GetDocuments();

Hi Jonathan,

Unfortunately, as you and Jeff have already mentioned, we currently cannot get documents from the dynamic WorkView folders from the folders themselves.

However, if you are using a configured Keyword Type Map for your WorkView folder, you can get the Keyword Type Map that is associated to your Class, and get each of the Keyword mappings (Attribute to Keyword mapping) for that Keyword Type Map. Based on this, you can know which Attribute value on the WorkView object in question will equate to which Keyword value, and perform a document query based on those information.

On the Class object, calling the Class.KeytypeMaps property will give you a list of KeytypeMap objects. On the KeytypeMap object, calling the KeytypeMap.Keytypes property will give you a list of Keytype objects. The Keytype object will give you the Attribute (in the form of an address) and Keyword (in the form of Keyword ID), and the value associated with the KeytypeMap. Unfortunately DocumentType is not returned if you are using a Document Type based query for your folder logic, so you may need to hard code that into your code.
