Customize MetaData Folder Level

shibasis

HI,

We are working on a Customization for Metadata in Share.
We want to apply metadata to specific Folder Level,but currently if we add metadata , it is applicable to all Folder's.

Invoice Folder Metadata>> invoice

should nt be visible in other Folders.

Do Alfresco Support this Feature.

Hello,

yes, Alfresco supports this feature by providing the option to define specialized sub-types of cm:folder with their distinct set of metadata, or by using aspects to apply specific metadata only to individual folders, not all of them. If you are using aspects, you should make sure that you are not forcing the fields originating from the aspects in your cm:folder form configuration, or they will effectively apply to all folder objects. Instead use the manage aspects action to apply your aspect and have that automatically add your fields into the "enhanced" folders.

Hello,

if you want to have the default search find objects (folders or files) by custom metadata, you need to adapt the default search template to include that metadata in your search. Please see <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-9594">the ticket that added the configuration option</a> for details.

I'm sorry for posting in this thread but how exactly can I add custom aspects to folders vor metadata?

If you want to do it programatically you can use NodeService's addAspect method.
If you want to do it through UI, you can do it through Add Aspect action. For that you will have to register the aspect as other existings aspects are registered in share-documentlibrary-config.xml.
