Restrictions on Author roles

Annad

Hi,
I was a submitting a DCR to staging as an author. Once the workflow started, it has a user task in which you'd have to metatag the DCR.
The only actions that could be performed (by an author) for the DCR in the workflow are "edit" , "Detach", and "Comments".
Is there any way to get the 'tag' option to the DCR so that I can metatag it?
Thanks

What version of TeamSite (include patches and service packs applied)?
Which UI are you using (WebDeskPro or WebDesk [authors-only])?
Do you already have a custom menu setup in your iw.cfg file for Set Metadata (or similar)?
If so - is that custom menu item under the "File" menu?
If so - it should appear within the Task Options for each file associated with the job when you do Edit Task within the To Do List (assuming WebDeskPro)

It wasn't a problem for me in Webdesk Pro, but only in Webdesk.
I was required to test my workflow in Webdesk[authors-only].
Is that a problem.

Check the iw.cfg for the custom menu item for setting metadata - if the entry doesn't end with:
.... , "", "500"

Add them, do an iwreset -ui, logout of TeamSite and log back in again - that should allow the menu item to show up within the WebDesk interface.

I already have this line in the iw.cfg file.
Here is the part where it is:

...
[iwcgi]
branch_label=SUB-BRANCHES
staging_label=STAGING AREA
edition_label=EDITIONS
workarea_label=WORKAREAS
list_page_size=100 # Should be a multiple of 25 (-1 for unlimited)
custom_menu_item_reports="View", "Reports", "report.cgi", "admin, master", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545"
custom_menu_item_tsdemos="File", "TeamSite Demo", "file:/iw/flash_demos/open-me.html", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545"
custom_menu_item_metadata="File", "Set Metadata", "mtmetaproxy.cgi", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545","500"
edition_list_limit=5
view_history_limit=20
use_iwproxy=yes
single_browser_window=false
case_sensitive_sort=no
use_launchpad_applet=true
launchpad_hostname=ncap009
domain_list=ncap009
...

I added the as you said, but that put the metadata option under file menu, but not when the file is in workflow.
The only actions that a file in a workflow have are "edit", "Detach", and "Comments".
I guess the suggestion you gave was to be able to metatag when the file is sitting on Teamsite under a workarea , but not when it is in a workflow.

You will have to see exactly which workflow is being executed here, and then look to see what the process flow is.
Is it the default_submit.wft that's being run? If so, there is no task that sets metadata on attached files...you'd have to add the externaltask (or cgitask) to call the metadata capture.

Thanks,

custom_menu_item_metadata="File", "Set Metadata", "mtmetaproxy.cgi", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545","500"

You're missing a piece there - it's:

custom_menu_item_metadata="File", "Set Metadata", "mtmetaproxy.cgi", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545","", "500"

Try that and the other directions I gave and see if that makes any difference (I don't have a system to test it on right now, so it might not fix this issue)

I can get the metatagger to run for a task, but when I need to metatag each DCR separately, I need the tag option for each DCR.
I do have a cgitask, that invokes the metatagger for the task, but how do make the tag option available for each DCR in that task.
Please see the attached file where I have screenshots of each situation.

Annad

I added the the line as you said.
Here it is:
custom_menu_item_metadata="File", "Set Metadata", "mtmetaproxy.cgi", "all", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=545","","500"

It still did not work.
Please see the attached file for more detail.

Hmm - well I haven't really used the WebDesk interface that often - and even less frequently when dealing with workflows - but I don't think there is any way within the current product to alter the UI in the way that you are desiring (btw, nicely annotated diagrams - very clear to understand what you were talking about).

About all I can suggest is contacting Support to open up a feature request, but I'm not all that confident that this kind of change would be made at this point (but if you don't ask, it definitely won't).
