D2 Autonaming depending on content size

D2 4.5.0020

Hi,

I'd like to fill a property like 'a_status='MY_DOC_HAS_CONTENT' when user creates a document (import file or template applied to the new document) that has content.

I've created an Autonaming config :

'a_status' filled with value 'MY_DOC_HAS_CONTENT'

I've tried following D2 Contexts but no one matches my newly created document :

- dm_document where r_content_size > 0

- dm_document where (i_contents_id is not nullid or i_contents_id <> '0000000000000000')

- dm_document where r_page_cnt > 0

- dm_document where a_content_type='pdf'

Actually, the document is created without content. the content is added after D2 configuration applies.

EMC Support says that :

"worked as per design as the document created contentless"

Isn't there really no way to achieve that ?

Thank you

Hi Roy,

Try the below step,

1. Apply default value template in creation matrix

for eg. attribute1=not applied

2. create one context with datatype & condition as attribute1=not applied

3. create 2 auto naming , one for applying a_status='MY_DOC_HAS_CONTENT'

and one for attribute1=applied (so that same context will not update auto naming again)

Hope this will work

Hi Ekta,

I'm not sure I understand the things you want me to try.

I just want to have my attribute set when document HAS CONTENT

Is it really what you were telling me to do ?

Thank you

Hi Roy,

you can try

data type: dm_document

condition:

r_content_size is nullint

r_content_size is nullint <=> r_content_size=0

This does not work.

And the reason why is that D2 sets content after configurations are applied (autonaming, autolink, etc.).

I've been thinking about using $FILENAME but it works only when importing file, not whit checkout/checkin

you also archive  following points

1. create lifecycle and set some input condition like your type , r_content_size >00000, etc...
2. if condition is matched then update a_status = ' document HAS CONTENT'
3. this lifecycle used in your creation profile .
4. at the time of import , lifecycle checked that  its size and type etc , if  input condition has satisfied then lifecycle update  a_status .
5. if input condition has not matched then lifecycle not apply on that content and a_status not update this means its content less document/object

Hope this will help you !

Hi!

That sounds a good workaround except that lifecycle actions won't execute in the CONTENTLESS case.

Consider I have 2 states :

DRAFT (Start state) with some actions like "setProperties"

VALIDATED

I just need to set VALIDATED if document has content and let DRAFT if no content.

If I set an entry condition for DRAFT state, lifecycle won't be applied

A good thing would be to have entry condition with "If Then Else"

I think I'll have to set a lifecycle batch

Thanks for your help
