Addd custom models to different folders

geovanny_campov

Hello,

I have an structure of folders and I need to upload files with diferent metadata in each one: For example, I have the next structure:

Main

-Human Resources (Custom properties for files: Name, Age, Language, etc.)

-TIC´s (Custom properties for files: Model, Year, Suppliers, etc.)

-Sales (Custom properties for files: Country, State, etc.)

I have created an specific model for files of every folder (I have three models).Now, when I add a file on any folder I need to change the Type in order to see the corresponding properties and fill them.

There is some way to set a default model to an specific folder and, by inheritance, set by default this model to all the new files that I´m adding?

Thanks in advance,

Regards.

Hi,

Maybe you can use rules.

Define a rules on the parent folder to "Specialise type"

You can also write a small JS file that will be called by the rule that do the same thing.

Hi:

A very nice addon may be used for a similar proposal too (defining custom upload folders):

GitHub - softwareloop/uploader-plus: An Alfresco uploader that prompts for metadata

Regards.

Thanks C,

I will try this plugin.

This plugin add metadata to files depending the folder where is located?

Yes, you may define custom "upload folders" for using defined custom types from Alfresco Share Admin Console.

Hi,

You can create a rule on a folder to change a type of a documents when they are created or added to a folder.

In order to create such rule the most simple way is to create JavaScript file (.js) that contains a following code

var myAction = actions.create("specialise-type");
myAction.parameters["type-name"] = "{<url of your namespace>}<prefix>";
myAction.execute(document);

Place this this .js file at "Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts" folder in your repository. Ensure the mimetype is JavaScript. Create a rule on required folders. While defining a rule , select when "items are created or entered in this folder" and in perform action select "Execute script". Select the JS file you created.

Thanks,

Kalpesh Patel‌ You can use this even shorter version:

document.specializeType("type-name");
