Create a rule to do an action depending on the document type

julian

Hi,

I am trying to create a rule in ALfresco One (Alfresco Enterprise v4.2.0).
I have a custom model like this:

…
<types>
      <type name="myCustomModel:docType1">
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <mandatory-aspects>
            <aspect>cm:author</aspect>
            <aspect>myCustomModel:details</aspect>
         </mandatory-aspects>
      </type>
…
<types>
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I want to do a rule to move my document if it is a type "myCustomModel:docType1". But it doesn't work if I choose "cm:type" contains "myCustomModel:docType1" or "docType1"…
The rule works if I make the action depending on the title (but it's not what I want).

Is the custom document type stored in another metadata?

Thanks in advance.

At step One - Select Conditions ,please choose "Content of type or sub-type" as condition,It'll work.

Thanks, I tried this solution but in the list of propositions of "Content of type or sub-type" I haven't my custom type. Only "Content", "Folder"… but not my custom type.
Did I miss something?

rjohnson

Have you put your custom type in share-config-custom.xml as a sub type of cm:content?

      <types>
         <type name="cm:content">
            <subtype name="YOUR-TYPE_HERE"/>
       </types>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

julian

Yes I have.
In my share-config-custom.xml I have:

<types>
    <type name="cm:content">
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType1" />
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType2" />
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType3" />
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType4" />
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType5" />
      <subtype name="myCustomModel:docType6" />
    </type>

         <type name="cm:folder">
         </type>
 
         <type name="trx:transferTarget">
            <subtype name="trx:fileTransferTarget" />
         </type>
      </types>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But in the rule configuration when I choose "Content of type or sub-type" I have only the choice for: content, folder, transfer target and file transfert target. I don't see docType1,…,docType6.

When I edit a file, I can choose these different types (docType1,…,docType6).

Do you have an idea about what is missing?

Thanks.

rjohnson

Well. If you have done that the only other thing I can think of is that you may need a message in a .properties file along the lines:-

type.myCustomModel_docType1=Document description
‍‍‍

Now, I would have expected the lack of this to merely result in your document types being displayed as myCustomModel:docType1 etc in the drop down list.

You appear to have set up your documents exactly as I have and mine definately apear in the "Types and sub-types" list on the rules.

julian

I have all these features

In fact my subtypes are well known by Alfresco because in the "change type" dropdown list in the file edition I can see my subtypes. They are only not visible in rule configuration.

My "myCustomModel.properties" (in /alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/)

myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType1=Doc type 1
myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType2=Doc type 2
myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType3=Doc type 3
myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType4=Doc type 4
myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType5=Doc type 5
myCustomModel_contentmodel.type.myCustomModel_docType6=Doc type 6
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I also tried with:

type.myCustomModel_docType1=Doc type 1
type.myCustomModel_docType2=Doc type 2
type.myCustomModel_docType3=Doc type 3
type.myCustomModel_docType4=Doc type 4
type.myCustomModel_docType5=Doc type 5
type.myCustomModel_docType6=Doc type 6
