Alternative methods of deleting documents

munkdogg

Hello,

As someone new to the WorkSite environment, I am looking at alternative methods of removing documents from the system whilst also complying with document retention requirements.

For example, has anyone successfully developed a method of customizing DeskSite to change document security to Private + Update author to DMSAdmin when the user deletes the document? If so, I would very much like to hear your insight in this...or any other possible alternatives.

Also, could anyone who has attended the SDK and/or WorkSite engineer education courses tell me if such a topic is covered in these courses?

Many thanks! Any and all information is appreciated.

You may use the SDK to wrap around the Delete command to update the Author and default security of the document. There is an ICommand Interface you may implement to do this. Code examples are distributed with the SDK under the ICommands folder in your SDK installed path. The Creating Custom Commands in WorkSite.pdf in the iHelp folder has documentation on how to develop an ICommand command.
