Client validation

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Is there some client validation that can be performed, e.g. the user edits some metadata values => now I want to limit the number of characters or just allow a maximum integer value for certain properties => is there a way to realize this in OpenWorkdesk?

Hi Popeye,
yes we have a concept in OpenWorkdesk that supports your requested client validation. There is a JS file "common.js" that is located in your repository in the folder "js". This JS file has a method "onCustomValidation()" that is always called after the user has entered some text into a input field => here you can implement your validation, e.g. limit the text length of the property "cmis:document.cmis:name":

function onCustomValidation (classname, javaclassname, fieldprovidertype, fieldprovidername, fieldid, value)
{
if(classname=="cmis:document.cmis:name")
{
if(value.length>10)
{
//limit the string to the first 10 characters
document.getElementById(fieldid).value=value.substring(0,10);
return(" The maximum length of this property should be less than 10 characters.");
}
else
{
return(null);
}
}
return(null);
