Automatic creation of tabs and folders in an existing workspace

System

Hi

I have a client who insists on having a workspace designed as such:

Workspace SAMPLE
-Tab 1
> Folder A
> Folder B
> Folder C

They would like to be able to automatically add a new tab with an identical folder structure to this workspace if the following are provided:

- target Workspace name/ID
- name of the tab to be created

This data could be provided in the form of a CSV file.

Any ideas how I can use the SDK to do this?


Thanks

Jason

C# //Referencing iManage.dll 8.2

using IManage;

string strServer = "MyServerName";
IManDMS myDMS = new ManDMSClass();
IManSession mySess = myDMS.Sessions.Add(strServer);
mySess.TrustedLogin();

// Get an instance of the ManStrings object for searching in target databases.
ManStrings myDatabaseList = new ManStringsClass();

// Build a list to include all the databases.
foreach (IManDatabase db in mySess.Databases)
{
    myDatabaseList.Add(db.Name);
}

// Search by workspace name.  
IManWorkspaceSearchParameters wsparams = myDMS.CreateWorkspaceSearchParameters();
//assuming the name is unique across all databases.
wsparams.Add(imFolderAttributeID.imFolderName, "aaa"); //ex of a workspace name

//Search across databases under the same server
IManFolders results = mySess.SearchWorkspaces(myDatabaseList, myDMS.CreateProfileSearchParameters(), wsparams);

//~ Search in a specific database

// Query for the target database in which to create the new workspace.
//IManDatabase myDatabase = mySess.Databases.ItemByName("MyDatabaseName");
//IManFolders results = myDatabase.SearchWorkspaces(myDMS.CreateProfileSearchParameters(), wsparams);

if (results != null)
{
    if (results.Empty == false)
    {
        IManWorkspace target = (IManWorkspace)results.ItemByIndex(1);

        // Query for Tabs collection from the newly created workspace.
        IManTabs myTabs = (IManTabs)target.SubFolders;

        // Add a tab to the workspace.
        IManTab myTab = myTabs.AddNewTabInheriting("SDK", "Adding a tab programmatically");
        //Note: you may also use the AddNewTab Method if you do not want to inherit security from the workspace

        // Add folders to the tab
        myTab.DocumentFolders.AddNewDocumentFolderInheriting("SDK Folder 1", "Adding a documnet folder programmatically");
        myTab.DocumentFolders.AddNewDocumentFolderInheriting("SDK Folder 2", "Adding a documnet folder programmatically");
        myTab.DocumentFolders.AddNewDocumentFolderInheriting("SDK Folder 3", "Adding a documnet folder programmatically");
        //Note: you may also use the AddNewDocumentFolder Method if you do not want to inherit security from the tab.

        target.Update();
    }
