set up a metadata dialog so that the dialog is displayed when a DCR is saved

metadata capture can be configured by using metadata-rules.cfg and datacapture.cfg files present in iw-home/local/config
directory.once this is done user can submit metadata by clicking on File > Tag button...

my requirement is user should be prompted automatically with a form (where he can enter metadata) when he saves the DCR ,but not by clicking
File > Tag

Write a Cgi to collect all data which you want.. call this this on suitable save event.. get data form cgi set as metadata using iwextattr command and close the DCT.

Hope this helps little

What you want to achieve is already provided by interwoven in standard interface.
As you are done with DCR creation another form will open up for capturing metdata.

Metadata capture *URL Command* is supported by IWOV, for details see Interwoven® User Interface CustomizationGuide
So as suggested before, pick desired onSave flavor and call something like the following from the Event handler:

function edit_metadata() {
   if (IWDCRInfo.getDCRName() == "") {
      alert('Please Save the DCR before editing the Metadata');
      return false;
   }

   var tagpath = '/iw/webdesk/tag?vpath=' + IWDatacapture.getDCRPath();
   window.open(tagpath,"","width=500,height=400,status=no,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,left=75,top=50");
   return true;
}

Hi Milind,
the another form will be opened for capturing metadata only if we do any user specific action like clicking file--> tag ...
but what I want is the metadata form should be displayed automaically once the DCR is saved...
thanks

You can create a simple workflow for tt_data event and then have a metadata task "iwmetadata.cgi". This should bring up the metadata capture screen.
