NOVA-UI

The AssetMarker-Plugin can be used to mark assets with bullets according to predefined criteria.

Properties

To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties

assetMarker.license

type: String, required: yes, default: -

License key (delivered by brix IT Solutions)

guiPlugin.bullets.asset

type: list of string, required: yes, default: noAssetType,invalidInformationFields,unlinked,unreleased,availability,locked,duplicate,conversionStatus

This property defines which bullets are displayed on the assets. The order of the bullets in the property also matches the actual order of the bullets on the assets. To add a bullet, define a name and list it with the other bullets. For example: guiPlugin.bullets.asset=noAssetType,invalidInformationFields,unlinked,unreleased,availability,locked,duplicate,conversionStatus,myBullet. Here myBullet would be added.

The standard CELUM bullets must also be listed in the property, otherwise they'll be missing afterwards.

The name of the bullet is used for its remaining configuration, therefore {bulletName} is to be replaced by the individual name of each instance.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.imagePath

type: string, required: yes, default: -

This property specifies the path to the bullet icon. Each Bullet needs an icon with size 16 × 16 px, the actual content should be 12 × 12px, background transparent.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.title

type: string, required: yes, default: -

This property sets the mouseover-title on the bullet. For multilanguage-support, add your messages to appserver/lang/customMessages_xy.properties and use the key here.

Example:

  • assetMarker.{bulletName}.title=assetMarker.myTitle
  • appserver/lang/customMessages_de.properties contains assetMarker.myTitle=Mein Titel
  • appserver/lang/customMessages_en.properties contains assetMarker.myTitle=My Title
assetMarker.{bulletName}.assetTypeIds

type: list of long, required: no, default: -

If this property is set, only assets that have one of the configured Assettypes will have the bullet.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodeIds

type: list of long, required: no, default: -

If this property is set, only assets that are linked to one of the configured nodes (or one of its children) will have the bullet.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodeTypeIds

type: list of long, required: no, default: -

If this property is set, only assets that are linked to one of the configured Nodetypes will have the bullet.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.infofield.{id}

type: string, required: no, default: -

This property can be set for every Informationfield. If this property is configured for an Informationfield only assets that have the configured value in this fields will have the bullet. The configuration of this property depends on the Type of the Informationfield as shown below. Furthermore, the value can be set to 'isEmpty' and 'notEmpty' for all types.

For better performance, we recommend that you add the property customfields.list.asset.required.field.ids with a list of all the information fields that you configure in the AssetMarker (e.g. customfields.list.asset.required.field.ids=108,118,138). If you don't explicitly tell CELUM to pre-load these information field values in the list response, the AssetMarker will have to reload the asset with those information field values, which can be slow.

  • text/textarea/localized text/localized textarea: possible values are a word or a sentence. The maker will be shown if the informationfield contains the configured value.
  • boolean: possible values are false/true
  • nodereference: takes a list of comma separated nodes. If the nodereference value is one of those nodes the marker will be shown.
  • checkbox: possible values are false/true
  • dropdown: the configuration is made by set the property to the required option index.
  • date: there are different ways to configure a datefield:
    • after MM/dd/yyyy
    • before MM/dd/yyyy
    • between MM/dd/yyyy MM/dd/yyyy
    • next xy
    • last xy

The value xy is a daycount. If the value is set to -1 it means infinite days from today. (e.g. next -1 means everyday in the future)

  • number/double: there are different ways to configure a number or double field (since v1.3):
    • >x
    • <x
    • <=x
    • >=x
    • [x,y) (range x <= value < y)
    • =x

x and y are numbers (resp. doubles). Ranges with '()' / '[]' / '(]' are also allowed.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.notEmpty

type: set of long, required: no, default: -

This property takes a comma separated list of informationfield-Ids that should not be empty.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodeExclusive

type: boolean, required: no, default: false

If this property is set to true, the bullet is only shown if the asset is not linked to any other node than the ones configured in the porperty assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodes

assetMarker.{bulletName}.hasFileextensions

type: list of string, required: no, default: -

This property takes a comma separated whitelist of file-extensions that the assets should have.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodesNotMode

type: boolean, required: no, default: false

Inverts the assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodes property if set to true.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.assetTypesNotMode

type: boolean, required: no, default: false

Inverts the assetMarker.{bulletName}.asssetTypes property if set to true.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodeTypesNotMode

type: boolean, required: no, default: false

Inverts the assetMarker.{bulletName}.nodeTypes property if set to true.

assetMarker.{bulletName}.custom

type: string, required: no, default: -

This property allows to use a custom bean to define the bullet rules.

List of available custom beans:

  • assetMarkerIsDateControlled (Bullet is shown if Asset has availability set to date-controlled)
  • assetMarkerTextIcon (Showes a Text Icon, for example the expiration date of an asset.)

For the assetMarkerTextIcon the following properties need to be set:

assetMarker.{bulletName}.textIcon.key

type: string, required: no, default: -

This property defines the category of the text-icon value. Possible keys: infofield, fileinfo, property

assetMarker.{bulletName}.textIcon.value

type: string, required: no, default: -

This property defines the text-icon value. Possible values depending on key:

  • infofield: id of the information field (long)
  • fileinfo: fileExtension, originalFileName, originalFileSize
  • property: width, height, etc.
assetMarker.{bulletName}.textIcon.maxLength

type: int, required: no, default: -, since 1.3.13

The maximum length of the text that is displayed.

Example

guiPlugin.bullets.asset=noAssetType,invalidInformationFields,unlinked,unreleased,availability,locked,duplicate,conversionStatus,groupBullet,progressBullet

assetMarker.groupBullet.imagePath=../images/bullets/group.png
assetMarker.groupBullet.title=maintab.grouptitle
assetMarker.groupBullet.nodeTypeIds=106

assetMarker.progressBullet.imagePath=../images/bullets/asset_in_progress_16_blue.png
assetMarker.progressBullet.title=infofield.approval.pending
assetMarker.progressBullet.infofield.165=2
