How to change order of custom metadata fields in the properties tab

Hello all
i have added some custom properties in a folder on the km content but i can not arrange the properties in any logical order.
your help please
Thanks
Ronen

Hi Ronen,
you can
If you have defined the properties working now, you know this path: System Administration - System Configuration - KM - Configuration - CM - Global Services - Property Structures.
There you have the property structure DefaultPropertiesStructure using the property group all_groups.
all_groups consists of system, custom ... etc. in the order the tab strips come up when using details for a resource. Within each group, under group items the property or the property group to be rendered appears (in the order they get rendered). This holds recursively for all groups.
If you have defined your properties within group "custom", just arrange them in Group Items in the order you like.
Hope it helps

Custom metadata field for GET_FILE in Content Tracker

Hi ppl,
I've trying to use content tracker to audit some actions including GET_FILE. The problem is that I need to save a custom metadata field that is not in the localdata resultset.
I know that I can save all the custom metadata fields in a column such as EXTFIELD_2 but it makes no sense if I need only one field among a hundred.
Is there any other way?
Appreciate any thoughts.
Cya

Hello,
Can you please share the steps through which I can map my custom metadata fields with the special Content Tracker fields like extField_1, extField_2 etc.
Thanks,

How to rename Custom Metadata Field?

I have some pics with custom metadata field "gadget brand", i with to rename the field name to "brand", how can i do that? I tried to rename in the custom metadata manager, but it doesn't apply the change.

Don't believe you it will allow you to rename it.
You're going to have to create a new field with the name you want and copy the data over. Unfortunately Aperture doesn't have any built in means of copying metadata from one field to another. Applescript however could do it fairly easily.

How to hide custom metadata field in custom profies ??

hi,
how to hide custom metadata dropdown list in a custom profile based on choosing the security group.
ex: if i choose xxx security group, custom metadata dropdown should not appeared, for remaining security groups it should be visible.
so, Based on criteria, custom metadata should be hidden in custom profiles..
how to achieve it ?? where and how to configure ??
Detail guidance should be required
Thanks in advance

You cannot do this through profiles alone if I understand you correctly.
If I load a check in page, choose a security group and at this moment want a custom metadata field to disappear then you are beyond what profiles offers.
Rules evaluation can only be based on information that is know at the time the page is requested. That means in order for this to work you would need to make security group an non editable field and have a set of profiles for each security group.
The alternative is to customize the UI with soem DHTML or AJAX

How to export custom metadata fields

How do I export custom metadata fields (or even the DATE) to a text or spreadsheet? Why does Aperture have dozens of metadata choices, but only allows a few to be exported?

You can try Automator which must be installed already in your computer. Create a new workflow, on the left pane select Aperture to see a list of actions, select "get selected items" and "extract metadata", and drag both to the right most pane. there you'll choose the Tag names to extract from the images already selected inside aperture and choose an output method, tabbed text should work fine for a spreadsheet. Hope it works.

Custom metadata field with autonumbering sequence

I have created a custom metadata field and I need it to be able to start a zero and then increase by one with each checkin. There were other qualifications for this particular field as well, which I have managed to do. Currently, the field is V99_99999 where V is a constant, and the 99 immendiately after the V is the current two digit year. all that works great. the issue I am having is with the second half of this. I have it going against the content_id currently, which is at 003856 right now, so when I check in my first content, it will look like V09_003857. what I need it to look like is V09_00001 and then increase by one with each checkin, and then for the really tricky part...when the year changes, on Jan 1, the counter needs to start over at all zeroes again.
I am fairly new to UCM and this seems huge to me. I purchased a book called "The Definitive Guide to Stelelnt Content Server Development" hoping to find the answer, but am still struggling, so I am using another life line and reaching out to you all.
Thanks,
Patti

Interesting!
You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.
The big question now is where in the check in process will you do all this? You will need something called filters probably. Maybe addFiles, maybe validateStandard, there are several that this could work with.

Retrieve a list of different values of custom metadata field of an UCM connection

Hi
I am planning to create a custom search document functionality for my UCM and Portal integration. Basically, I am planing to create CMIS queries dynamically. In order to create the CMIS query, I need the possible values of custom metadata for the user to select from and through a backing bean construct the cmis query based on this selection.
I have created a custom metadata field (lets say, 'KindOf'). So I want to show the user a list of all possible 'KindOf' values, so user selects the values he wants and I use those values to build the cmis query and show the results.
What is the easiest, best practices, how would you do it, way of achieving this?
I have little experience with UCM.
Regards

Hi,
As rightly pointed out by jiri machotka, you want that option list .
if you create a option list metadata, you have to publish schema to get the values. You can do it by two ways:
1) Wait for the event which publish the schema automatically.
2)Select "Publish schema" in the options menu of the Configuration Manager.
Some good implementation info about searching can be found at - Students at Oracle: UCM: Creating search and check-in profiles with custom metadata
and http://www.slideshare.net/heikim/effective-strategies-for-searching-oracle-ucm
Otherwise if you want faceted search or something near to enterprise searching capabilities, then go for enterprise search engines.
I have recently worked on Enterprise Search Engines on various CMS products for better,intuitive and relevant search results.
Hope, above information can help you out.

Hoque

How to get Caption of custom metadat

Hi everybody,
I tried to change tha page "Workflow in queue". I would like to add my custom field.
I don't have a problem to add custom metadata field, but I have problem with the Caption.
This code doesn't get the Caption of the field xInvoice_Number:
<$exec setValue("ColumnProperties", "headerLabel", getFieldConfigValue("xInvoice_Number", "fieldCaption", "Caption"))$>
Can you help me how to get the Caption of custom metadata filed?
Thank you
Martin

Check this link out: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10726/c06_core_ref.htm#CSIDO374
Two questions:
- have you set up Field Caption for your custom field in Configuration Manager?
- if not, does your string "Caption" exist in your resources (still, I think you should use the lw() function)

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.

Select Button beside custom metadata field on Check In Form

Hi
In Oracle Content Server 10gR3, is there a way to add a "Select" button to User Alias Applet for a new Meta data field on New Check In Form?

You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.

Custom metadata fields wont export

I have created two custom metadata fields but they dont export when you export meta for excel, how can I do this?

You can't.
Note: See the "more like this" to the right; this question has been asked many times.
For example, here's one thread where the question is answered with a link to the manual:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067500#22067500
Consulting the manual first (it's quite comprehensive) is always a good idea, too ;-)

Creating custom Metadata fields

When I import images I need to add contact details of property owners and there's sometimes 2 or 3 owners so I've created a custom Metadata preset and used the "other" tab at the bottom of the Metadata inspector to add the fields: "Contact 2", "Contact 3" and "Cell phone", "Email" etc.
The problem I have, is that I can add a new field in the "New Custom Metadata" box at the top of that tab, but the "+" symbol remains greyed out unless I enter characters into the Metadata value field. However, entering "placeholder" characters into the value field in order to activate the "+" symbol seems crazy because I'm creating a template, and the data will be different every time I import and I don't want to have to delete the placeholder characters when I'm importing. I just want to have custom fields and a blank box for data entry beside ready for me to fill it in when I import. Is this possible?

A metadata field of type boolean will be a checkbox as long as there is no lookup associated with it.
If you assign a lookup to it (either when you create the field, or in the group), then you will see it with a lookup.

Editing Autofill List for Custom Metadata Fields

I have 13,000+ photographs cataloged in Aperture 2.1 In an effort to better manage these photographs, I have added custom metadata for my own use. The fields let me know whether I have printed for my portfolio, watermarked, added to my web site, status of release, etc. All of this data is manually entered and at times my fingers don't always hit the correct keys on the keyboard so I end up with autofill data that is incorrect. I have been unable to find a way to edit the autofill data for custom metadata fields. Selecting 'Edit Autofill List' does not give me access to my custom field autofill information. Am I missing something? Is this an oversight on my part or on the part of the application?

Unfortunately I'm not using presets to do this. I don't think presets will help me with this, but it could be just that I don't understand presets that well. I use presets for entering Metadata from a shoot as I 'import' the raw files into Aperture. Maybe I'm trying to do something that Aperture was never intended to do, yet I need to have as few locations where I track
As an example, as I print a photograph for my portfolio I mark one of the custom fields labelled 'Printed' as 'Yes'. Later I can locate those 4 or 5 star photographs that haven't been printed and decide if I want to print them. I use the same type of arrangement for my website with an 'Added to web' indicator as 'Yes'. I may also mark that 'Printed' field as 'N/A'. The reason follows. For watermarking photographs before adding them to my site via iWeb, I export and the photographs and then reimport the watermarked photographs into a separate project but since these photographs are at a lower resolution, have a different color profile and are jpegs, I never print them for my portfolio so I mark them 'N/A' in the 'Printed' field. Well my fingers do slip on the keys and before I realize it the nifty autofill now requires that I type not just the 'N' to get an 'N/A', but I must type it all, because one time I typed 'N and a space' or some such and that is what autofills. It even happens with 'Yes'. I suppose the real answer is to be more careful as I type, but that is not my reality.
So, all I'm looking for is a way to have access to the autofill list that is created for my custom metadata fields so that I can delete the erroneous autofill entry. I've thought about deleting the field entirely and recreating it, but that would remove all those indicators or flags that I have already entered for my photographs.
Alternatively I could find an IPTC field that I am not using and find a way to use it, (because those fields have autofill lists that can be edited). However my record keeping would be exported with the photograph. Some of the information that I collect is private and should not be included in the metadata while other information should be; that is why I've settled on custom metadata fields.
I hope there is a simple answer to this that I'm overlooking.
If someone else has another way of tracking this same information that is better than the custom metadata fields, I would like to hear about it. However, it would mean reworking all my photographs that Aperture currently manages.
