Workflow in Content Presenter -- draft mode

Hi,
I want to customize the behavior of the content presenter when it enters in a workflow. Normally, with the content presenter (intregated with site studio ), a contributor creates and edit the content, when it click on the button " save and exit" , the content should go to the workflow , if it is correctly set . My customer wants to avoid this behavior, i would like a draft status. And when he has finished to modify his content , he wants a button to send the document to the workflow. i have succeeded to create a another button in the content presenter to send to the workflow, but the problem is that the workflow is not triggered because it's just a update of metadata. In fact, i have a metadata that i change ( draft --> to be validated ) when the contributor click on the new button. The workflow is triggered by this metadata ( critera xworflow equals to tobevalidated ) . the document cannot be enter into the workflow because is not a new revision. Have you any idea to do that.
Thanks a lot

My customer wants to avoid this behavior, i would like a draft status.... and what's wrong of having the first workflow step, which actually corresponds to a draft status?
Your scenario could be perfectly supported through the current workflow logic - a user may overwrite the existing revision of the document and a document could step forward to the "real"workflow when a metadata value is changed (you may have to define you Exit condition in the workflow step - see this link for more details http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/e01_user_if.htm#CSMRC946 )
The only scenario that is quite undone in workflows is "Cancel", that is, how to get rid of a draft document that is already in the workflow. The best workaround is setting (another?) metadata field to a specific value, immediately finish the workflow (the item will be released, and is searchable to users), and delete the item via administrative applications, such as Archiver.

  • Edit option not enabled for workflow content from within Content Presenter in Webcenter Spaces

    I have a webcenter spaces portal page with a content presenter displaying a html page using the default out of the box template. The html page is located in webcenter content / UCM under a folder on which the " All Reviewer" seeded workflow is enabled. The issue i am seeing is when the file is in workflow the edit option is not being enabled even though the reviewer should be able to edit/approve the content in this step. The other functions like workflow approve or reject and switching between workflow version and published version are all enabled. Also when rejected the content does not show edit option from the content presenter (cntrl-C option) for the original author to make any updates.
    What would need to be done to enable editing from within the content presenter for workflow content?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Sreedhar
    We are using WCP 11.1.1.8.5
    To recreate the issue
    1)  Login to WCC Portal: Spaces as admin user , create a New Page under a webcenter spaces portal
    2)  Under the space , Pages Section , select the page and click edit
    3) In Design mode , choose Content Management and Add Document Explorer and Add Content Presenter on the page
    4)  The Document Explorer will default to the Current Space/portal directory under MyWebcenterSpaces in UCM
    5) Create a directory "content" under the Portal space using the document explorer.
    6) Right Click on Content folder and choose details. In Details view , go to File->workflow settings and pick a seeded workflow -> MyWCSAllReviewer. Add a user as workflow approver
    7) After workflow is enabled on this folder upload a basic html page with simple text into this folder
    8) Now in the design mode choose edit in the content presenter and select the "single content view" with default template to display an Image or HTML. Click browse and select the html that was added to workflow
    9) Save the Page and view the portal. Workflow should now be enabled for any content changes to that html page.
    10) Click Cntrl-shift-c in portal/space as an authenticated user with edit access to content and make an edit to content , this will trigger worklow . The author currently will see edit option get disabled once content enters workflow
    11)  Login as approver to the portal and cntrl-shift-C to the portal and workflow options(approve and reject) are enabled but the edit option is not. If you reject content , the author should be able to edit content in the content presenter mode, this also is not available. The issue is the content is now no longer available for editing from wthin content presenter if it is in workflow to either the approver or the original author depending on workflow step. If you check the same content under the document explorer the option to edit is enabled. Is this a bug /issue with content Presenter or some option needs enabled?

  • Managing icons of new/edit/refresh on inline edit mode of content presenter

    I have a content presenter, which shows content from ucm. I have enabled in-context editing and I can see new/edit/refresh icon if I press ctrl+shift+c. I want to remove new icon. I also want to provide a new icon to archive content. On click of that icon I want to run my custom code written in bean.
    So my question is there anything to disable new/edit/refresh features.
    How would I add my icon (link) in this list?
    Thanks

    Hi, I am stuck with this.
    Content presenter is showing 'New', 'Edit' and 'Refresh' icon when page is in edit mode.
    I want to hide 'New' icon and also want to show my 'delete' icon after framework provided 'Edit' icon. I would like to call my ridc api on delete icon. Is there any way to achieve it?
    I tried putting 'delete' icon in template but it appears below refresh icon. I want to make it in same line as other icons.
    I am also fine if there is a way to hide all framework provided icons. I would create my own.
    Thanks

  • Problem adding a Content Presenter in a Panel Customizable

    Hi,
    I've created a Webcenter page template and specified Three panelCustomizable components under a pageCustomizable. In fact, i want to have three consistent customizable columns in my page template. The problem is, when adding a contentPresenter in edit mode to one of these panelCustomizable, it does not work correctly. It doesn't show the content add toolbar. In my log, i've a the following exception :
    java.lang.IllegalStateException: The expression "#{bindings.rbipyXViYPx1.regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "oc_6020088695region1") evaluated to null.
    This is typically due to an error in the configuration of the objects referenced by this expression.
    If it helps, the expression "#{bindings.rbipyXViYPx1}" evaluates to "null".
    If it helps, the expression "#{bindings}" evaluates to "com_mhis_portal_MH_Template_HomePagePageDef". Now using an empty RegionModel instead.

    at oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXRegion.processRegion(UIXRegion.java:498)
    I realized that a content presenter works correctly when it is added to a panelCustomizable that was added in a facet in the page file *(not facet ref in the page template, but the facet in the page*).
    I tried then to add the panelCustomizable to the facet ref in the page template but it seems that jDeveloper doesn't like that !
    Is there any way to have a panelCustomizable component in the page template that enable adding correctly a content presenter in edit mode ?

  • Word stuck in Draft Mode

    ONE Word file is stuck in draft mode. It can't be the normal.dotx file because it's not affecting other files. Starting in safe mode doesn't change a thing. All the tricks I've read on various forums about changing the columns etc don't do anything. I even
    tried checking the option to allow opens in draft, so that I could then uncheck it (since it was opening in draft even when that open was not checked). Nothing works.
    I read in another forum that the only solution is to select the entire contents of the document and save it to Notepad, so that it is txt. Then just start over. I have quite a bit of formatting and I'd rather not, but I guess it won't kill me.
    Any better ideas?

    I'm having this problem too. I use Word 2013. I'm tracking changes on this document, so cutting and pasting is not an option.
    And yes, I HAVE tried clicking on "View tab | Print Layout". Obviously, that was the first thing I tried. I tried it
    many times. I tried closing the file, reopening it, and clicking "View tab | Print Layout". I tried redownloading
    the file, opening it, and clicking "View
    tab | Print Layout". I tried having the file resent, both as .docx and .doc,, opening it, and clicking "View
    tab | Print Layout".
    It's not in protected view.
    Nothing has worked. Please let me know how to fix this.

  • Content Presenter

    Hello,
    using webcenter and UCM 11.1.1.6
    we have dropped content presenter. we go to CTRL SHIFT C mode. we click first icon "Create New" thinking we will create a New Content. At this point, we do not want to use Oracle Site Studio Create New screen. We do not want to use Site Studio. How can we leverage content presenter itself to Create New Content Item along with Meta Data ???
    Any link, steps, poc highly appreciated.
    Like wise, we see second icon of content presenter is Edit and third icon is refresh. If we click Edit, then we do not want to use Site Studio Contributor screen. We want something in content presenter that will allow admin to edit content / metadata. Is this possible. Any links, sample ?
    Reason is our admin does not want to see / use site studio screen for these functionalities.

    Is there a sample TaskFlow / example available that we can leverage. ?
    I do not know why using Site Studio is mandatory to perform these functions ? I was thinking same could have been OOB feature / taskflow (RIDC) already provided in webcenter. writing taskflow using RIDC is additional cycle in development.
    thx

  • Content presenter edit icon not appearing

    I am relatively new in this area ....I have an ADF application where i have the UCM connection defined. I expanded the UCM folders in the connection pallette of Jdeveloper and dropped an image from a folder in UCM repository as Content presenter taskflow in my jsff page fragment. The page fragment has the page customizable, panel customizable etc for the customizations. A taskflow comprising that page fragment is dropped on to a jspx page. When i run the page, i could see the image rendered. But when i press control Shift C , i could just see 2 icons (Manage Web content and Refresh) and not Edit icon where i am expecting to select some different image from UCM at runtime?
    May be, with site studio region def / templates, this could work. If i go with Site studio in content presenter, i need to create region def, template and data files extra for this requirement. I am expecting something similar like when you drag the content presenter taskflow from resource catalog onto Webcenter portal, it will let you select some image on single content item selection at runtime.
    I just want to select some different image from ucm at runtime thru content presenter without site studio. Is this the expected behaviour or the problem could be because of any ucm security.I checked the security group of the content item as public and is in released status. rebuild Index collection.
    Regards
    Prabhu

    The Edit icon only appears for HTML content or for a proper data file.
    If you just drag and drop an image, the edit will not work and you will not be able to select another image.
    If, however you want to select another image in the CP, you don't have to do this in contribution mode (ctrl shif c) but in edit mode (ctrl shift e) and press the edit icon on the content presenter. This will allow you to select another image from UCM.
    You can find more info in my tutorial: http://www.yonaweb.be/webcenter_11g_ps3_tutorial_introduction_content_integration and the next part for the data files.

  • How to use content presenter with a multilanguage site

    I would you like to know if it's possible to manage a content presenter with multi language ? Normally, if i would show a content with a template view , i choose a UCM content to the parameter interface of the content presenter. Anybody has found a solution to found automatically the right content when i choose a another language. For example, i create a content presenter associated to a English content on UCM , is it possible when the user changes his language to spanish for example to have the related content in spanish or not ?

    There are a few options to do this but it requires quite a lot of customizations. Unfortunatly there is no out of the box solutoins to tackle this issue.
    First of all you have to make sure the content in UCM is related to each other so when you have a document in english, you can easily find the same document in another language. This can be based upon additional meta fields or by using the related content component.
    You probably also want to setup a workflow so when an english (or any language) document is checked in, the workflow kicks in and notify some other users so they know they have to translate that document.
    In Webcenter you have to make sure that the content presenter can show content based upon language. Normaly you can't realy build dynamic queries in the content presenter and when you select all the content from a folder, there is no way to add filters based upon language.
    In order to solve this issue, you can use the personalization server. By creating a scenario that takes the language as an input parameter (or by just querying the profile) you can build a dynamic CMIS query that can be used to power the content presenter. When you have configured the personalization server and create a scenario, you will be able to select that scenrio in the content presenter instead of selecting items or folder.
    It's quite a bit of work to make it multilingual but currently this is the only solution i have found...

  • Draft Mode in Oracle UCM

    Hello Everybody,
    Just wanted to confirm whether there is a Draft Mode for document uploading (checkin in) in Oracle UCM.If we have one, how do we configure it to appear and work.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Prashant,
    When the document goes to criteria workflow, user who created a document can be easily set as a reviewer using tokens. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/admin/workflow_guide_10gr3en.pdf#page=142. With this scenario he doesn't lose control over a document.
    This is how I would do this in UCM.
    I didn't find anything OOTB that does what you want and - to be honest - I have never had to do it.
    I had to use another UCM in one of customers and document drafts caused a lot of mess - there was always someone who "forgot" to publish a final version or didn't know what are consequences of not publishing it. I think, that it is better to put document creation in a separate workflow - it is more clear to users.
    Another idea how to do it is to simply create a separate folder for Drafts and allow user to move a document when he finishes the work. Implantation of this idea depends on the particular case.
    Good luck!

  • Using Content Presenter inside  Page Template

    Hi all,
    I want to show content of footer from UCM, so I used Content Presenter in the Footer to do it.
    But I only can see the content when the template at the Edit mode and in the Preview Mode or normal mode I can't see anything
    Do you have any suggestion for me
    Thanks a lot!

    You can Add content preseneter and also check whether you hav put all the footer requirements in the UCM and that should be in released mode.
    After adding to the page you can choose the template summary to show in the desired view...

  • Draft Mode Printing with Colour Management

    Hi
    A simple change to the print module that would improve matters for me.
    Draft Mode Printing disables all print enhancements, I can understand the reasoning behind this BUT for me the main advantage is the speed of generation using only the existing previews, I would still like to be able to print using the correct colours. Proofs don't have to be high quality or particularly sharp but if you present a client with proofs that have a colour cast or other colour fault they are going to think your final images are also suspect.
    Please consider re-enabling Colour Management in Draft Mode.
    Thanks
    Mike

    u are probably not getting much help on this unless you post screenshot of your process (starting with File> Print window)
    remember, Photoshop can print a document correct regardless of how it looks on the monitor (and vice versa: Photoshop can display a document correct regardless of how it prints)
    i recommend getting a known target like the WhackedRGB.jpg and see where the problem is occuring (in Photoshop color management settings, on the monitor, on the printer or both)...

  • Browsing Websites while in Presenter View Mode?

    Hi,
    I am doing many presentations where I have to comment on the content of websites and I have been using a lot the Web View feature, which I love. However, I don't seem to be able to do it while on presenter view mode, since I can't click on the slide to open the browser; it will just go to the next slide.
    Is there any way of doing this (apart from using single screen mode)? I am very comfortable on Two Screens mode and I don't want to go on One Screen mode just because I have to show a website online...
    Thanks

    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks. This actually work as you said, by clicking on screen 2.
    However, in most cases this may not be very useful...since you have to browse the website also in screen 2, which most times will be behind you, and if it's big it will be hard to read and many links will be hard to reach...
    Anyway, I imagine there is no other way and what we need is another feature for Keynote 4...maybe automatic switching from 2 screen to mirror when you browse a website?

  • Issue with using SSXA region templates with Content Presenter.

    I am using Content Presenter taskflow in Webcenter Portal. When i try to use the SSXA region template with content presenter, it doesnot render the html markup. But if i use normal UCM region templates(hscp), its rendering the html markup properly.
    Http Server acts as a proxy for both webcenter and ucm. Enabled SiteStudio, SiteStudioforExternalApplications, Webcenter Configure and other required features in Webcenter. Can any one tell me, if i missed any step?
    All i am getting the output as
    ${data.body}

    This uses one region definition containing WYSIWYG element. I am able to edit and could type the html markup or data in WYSIWYG editor at contribution mode, but when i click save and close, all i am getting output as ${data.body}
    I manually verified the data file in UCM, and i could see the information stored (the data entered in contribution mode)

    Prasath,
    I'm not 100% sure but i believe that WebCenter does not support everything from the WCM tags. You can read the topic on SSXA on the WebCenter EMG:
    https://groups.google.com/group/webcenter-emg/browse_thread/thread/2ef9cca0252a0ae3
    Just a quote:
    "With the 11.1.1.4 release, WebCenter is very much targeted at the type of sites that would have previously been done using the WCM components (eg. Extranet, Internet sites). By surfacing the site studio region templates (and allowing in place editing of the documents) many of the use cases can be met. The question now is not whether,or not, the native templating + region support is sufficient for your needs (WebCenter does not support all the WCM artefacts as yet). "

  • Print in Draft mode

    I am printing to a network printer on my [Windows] home network. I am trying to print in "Draft" mode. In Windows, the print dialog allows me to choose the various quality options for my HP printer (Draft, Normal, Presentation, etc.). When printing from my MacBook, I do not get any of these options. Anything I print is sent in NORMAL which is slow and wastes ink for basic everyday documents. On the Windows machine that the printer is connected to, the default print settings are set to "Draft" mode, but anything sent from the Mac prints in Normal anyway. Can anyone help me remedy this? Thanks.

    If you are using a printer (e.g. HP) that has an Economode (powersaver) setting, leave this off. Otherwise, your prints will look washed out as though toner was depleted.
    Since Pages itself does not have a selectable “draft” mode, the focus will be on your printer hardware and configuration.

  • Printing in Draft Mode Printing

    The tip I received to use the Canon MP800 SP2 color profile, as present in the printing module improved the print reproduction quality.
    However I had to conclude that the color reproduction (too redish) varies strongly among the photos I printed.
    To my surprise when I selected 'Draft Mode Printing' I got the best print reproduction ever! I understood that Draft mode printing uses the cached previews or if necessary the built-in previews, which seems to be acceptable when the photos are small (from Scott Kelby's Lightroom Book).
    I am tempted to print in Draft, to finally solve my LR' print repro problem, but would like to understand whether this an option?
    Thank you for your advise!
