Setting an IManDocumentFolder profile

I am currently finding out if we have a support contract with you or not. You may be able to find that out yourself. We were just purchased by Skywire Software and our former name was Whitehill Technologies so that might aid you in your search if you need to do that before answering my question.

The question is, how does one use the API for version 8.2 to add a profile to a Document Folder that is created through the API. I can add one to a workspace no problem and a Tab doesn't have an option for profile so that fine. However, I noticed that document folders do have a tab for "Profile" and I can fill it in fine using the GUI but when it comes to the API there is no "Profile" property when I set the type of the object to IManDocumentFolder. Checking the documentation it states that this type of folder pretty much inherits everything directly from IManFolder ... which also doesn't have a Profile field (probably because a Tab is also a folder and doesn't have profiles).

So I'm wondering if this was just left out of the API by accident or on purpose ... or if I'm missing the proper way to do this.

This forum is free for all as it's not a support channel; it is more a communications platform for all WorkSite users to share knowledge. With this in mind, while the information thus far seems quite accurate and accountable, it is also information you would utilize at your own risk. For the most part, I think this forum is a reliable and useful, if not powerful, tool (or source) in getting through hurdles of WorkSite custom development.

If you would like official support in using the API's distributed with the WorkSite iToolkit, you may e-mail your requests to WorkSite-Devsupport@interwoven.com. Once they have verified that the company you represent is a qualified recipient - that is, it owns an active license to the purchase of the SDK - they will respond to your request within than two business days, usually in even less amount of time.

The document folder object acutally relies on name-value pairs to store metadata (a profile). It does not have a profile object associated as it does with its counter parts, workspace and document.

There is a technical article on how to profile a folder using the INRT Interfaces (which is the 7.x version of the iManage.dll). Although you have the 8.2 version, you may still make use of the code example in this article as the older interfaces still can be consumbed by the newer DLL by COM convention. You may also opt for changing the interfaces to the newer (8.x) set, which would be the IMan Interfaces. Here's the link to this article:
