Example: - Inbox - Supplier A - Supplier B - Supplier C ... and they each have their own naming convention. Setting up different rules on these supplier nodes enables you to automate tagging of these assets, so ideally you can just upload new assets into the relevant node, and the plugin takes care of the rest (e.g. extract and tag the article number). #### Table of Contents - [Properties](#properties) - [Compatibility Matrix](#compatibility-matrix) - [Release Notes](#release-notes) ## Properties To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties ##### autoNodeAssignment.license > type: String, **required: yes**, default: - The user groups which can use the auto node assignment extension. ##### autoNodeAssignment.visibleForGroup > type: number, required: **required: yes**, default: - The user groups which can use the auto node assignment extension. ##### autoNodeAssignment.allowedForNodeTypes > type: number, **required: yes**, default: - The node types for which the auto node assignment can be configured. ##### autoNodeAssignment.targetNodeType > type: number, required: no, default: - Node type where searching for the target node. ##### autoNodeAssignment.targetRootNode > type: number, required: no, default: - Root node where searching for the target node. ##### autoNodeAssignment.targetNodeSelectable > type: boolean, required: no, default: false Allow to select a target node in the configuration view. If targetRootNode is set, subnodes of the target root node are selectable. If only targetNodeType is set, every node of the target node type is selectable. ##### autoNodeAssignment.targetNodeMaxLevel > type: number, required: no, default: - Maximum level of selectable target nodes. ##### autoNodeAssignment.noNameMatchNode > type: number, required: no, default: - Target node for assets where the asset name does not match the configuration. ##### autoNodeAssignment.noNodeMatchNode > type: number, required: no, default: - Target node for assets where no target node can be found. ##### autoNodeAssignment.removeFromSourceNode > type: boolean, required: no, default: true If disabled the assets will stay in the source node after it's assigned to the target node. ##### autoNodeAssignment.removeFromNoMatchNodes > type: boolean, required: no, default: true, *since 1.9.0* Upon assignment to target nodes, remove the asset from the `noNameMatchNode` or `noNodeMatchNode` nodes. ##### autoNodeAssignment.availableSources > type: number, required: no, default: - Available asset information fields configurable as source instead of the asset name. ### Matchers The name of the matchers is used for its remaining configuration, therefore `{matcherKey}` is to be replaced by the individual key of each instance. There are two types of matchers: Node name matchers (autoNodeAssignment.matchers.name.) and node infofield matchers (autoNodeAssignment.matchers.field.) #### Node Infofield Matcher ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.field.{matcherKey}.name > type: String, required: *yes*, default: - This property sets the name for an infofield matcher. For multilanguage-support, add your messages to `appserver/lang/customMessages_xy.properties` and use the key here. ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.field.{matcherKey}.infofield > type: number, required: *yes*, default: - Infofield Id for the infofield matcher. ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.field.{matcherKey}.level > type: number, required: no, default: - Node level for the infofield matcher. #### Node Name Matcher ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.name.{matcherKey}.name > type: String, required: *yes*, default: - This property sets the name for a node name matcher. For multilanguage-support, add your messages to `appserver/lang/customMessages_xy.properties` and use the key here. ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.name.{matcherKey}.mode > type: number, required: *yes*, default: `STARTS_WITH` Mode for the node name matcher, `STARTS_WITH`, `EXACT_MATCH` or `CONTAINS`. ##### autoNodeAssignment.matchers.name.{matcherKey}.level > type: String, required: no, default: - Node level for the infofield matcher. ![Screenshot](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/55.assignment-handler/auto_node_assignment_node_context.png) ![Screenshot](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/55.assignment-handler/auto_node_assignment_node_configuration.png) ![Screenshot](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/55.assignment-handler/auto_node_assignment_admin_menu.png) ![Screenshot](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/55.assignment-handler/auto_node_assignment_node_configurations.png) ## Compatibility Matrix | Assignment Handler | CELUM (min. version) | |---|---| | 1.0.0 | 6.4.0 | | 1.1.0 | 6.4.0 | | 1.7.0 | 6.20 | ## Release Notes ##### 1.0.0 > Released 2021-02-24 Initial version ##### 1.0.0 > Released 2021-04-15 Target Node selectable in configuration view ##### 1.7.0 > Released 2025-02-13 Compatibility with CELUM 6.20 [ ](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/configurable-date-sync) [](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/celumuserservice) --- ## Navigation - Parent: [CELUM Extensions](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions.md) - Previous: [Configurable Date Sync](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/configurable-date-sync.md) - Next: [Celum User Service](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/celumuserservice.md)
