Automatic Leaf Creation

You can create leaf elements automatically by dragging documents from the DMS browse window into an assembly folder or root node.

When the Create Leaf Elements option is set to Yes and you drag documents to the root or a folder:

— A leaf element is added for each document.

— Each leaf element is created as the last child of the target element. — Each leaf has the same name as the corresponding document.

— The Leaf Status for each leaf element is automatically set to default Leaf Status value configured in Data Administration.

— The Use Native File attribute of a new leaf is set to Yes if the extension for the corresponding document is configured by your system administrator to generate this attribute value. Your system administrator can configure the extension in the dms.nativeLeafExtension property in the insight.var file. You can include additional extensions in the insight.var file. The following example shows the list of extensions that are set for Ennov InSight by default. If additional extensions are needed, you must include the complete list of default extensions (shown below) along with the additional file types you are adding when using the dms.nativeLeafExtension property in the Insight.var configuration file. For example:

dms.nativeLeafExtension=sas,xpt,xml,sc2,sct,sdq,sd2,ssd,ssp,stc,stx,sxs,s xx,sx,aml,dmn,imx,jmp,ecg

The following applies when the Create Leaf Element option is set to No and you drag a document to the root or a folder:

— The document you drag to an assigned document is added as the last child of that document.

— The document placeholder to which you drag a document becomes an assigned document. — The document you drag to a folder becomes the last child of that element.

Even if leaf elements are created automatically, dragging a document or documents to a leaf assigns them to that leaf and no additional leaf elements are created.

When a leaf element is created automatically during document assignment, the leaf is named with the document file name. The file extension is removed and Ennov InSight later assigns the appropriate extension during publishing.
