Ignore DCRs in Metadata Form

raviswamy

Hi,

We are using TS 552 on Solaris and IIS.

A DCR is created and then an ASP page is generated for that. When the ASP page is submitted to go live via a workflow one of the task in the workflow would also attached the primary DCR to the wokflow files. When the Metadata form comes up for the users to supply the Metadata info the user has to fill in the Metadata for the DCR also which is not required. This is the issue I have. I want to ignore the DCRs from coming up in the Metdata form.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanx

Hi Ravi

How about moving the task that attaches the primary DCR to a point after the user has completed the metadata step?

Ok, now I will harden the question. how do you filter out the DCRs in the tagging step that comes ina Wizard in CC STD.. provided the DCRs do not have any extensions...?

Don't know a clever way sorry Greg.

I could suggest that you could turn off the 'wizard' tagging step and incorporate the tagging step into your workflow. This might give you the opportunity to do something clever in the WFT instantiation (or a prior external task) like remove the DCRs from the tagging step but still have them associated with the rest of the workflow.

I haven't actually done this before so apologies if it doesn't work or is impossible....

I knew that you'd amswer that way. I don;t know either. This is why I think I need to write an article called 'Wizard Tagging Considered Harmful' Smiley Happy

IMO, it's an absolutely useless step, that has not been thoroughly thought thru architecturally....

Hi Greg

Totally!

But on the bright side, at least it is easy to turn off... thanks for small mercies I guess

well, thanks to me, as a matter of fact. I requested this during beta-testing and 6.0 release. Otherwise it would have been an uproar from the users

Doh!

Apologies, I had forgotten about different states having public holidays on different days -- it actually seems odd from a distance...

How about taking Monday of just to keep me from looking silly?

when I asked in the office about the long weekend, they told me that I spent too much time in Brisbane recently (which is true).

as for your suggestion, I would do that, but you have to pay for you being silly. Send me a cheque with my daily rate..
