Automatic Leaf Creation

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

Based on the Create Leaf File attribute for an assembly, leaf creation behaves as follows when you add documents to the assembly.

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.
  • Automatically, the Leaf Status for each leaf element is set to the default Leaf Status value configured in Data Administration.
  • The Use Native File attribute of a new leaf is set to Yes if your system administrator configured the extension for the corresponding document to generate this attribute value. Your system administrator can configure the extension in the dms.nativeLeafExtension property in the insight.var file. You can extend the list by modifying the insight.var file. The following example shows the list of extensions that are set forCalyx RIM 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.

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

When the Create Leaf Element option is set to No and you drag a document to the root or a folder, you can expect the following behavior:
  • A document you drag to an assigned document is added as the last child of that document.
  • A document placeholder to which you drag a document becomes an assigned document.
  • A document you drag to the root or a folder becomes the last child of that element.

Regardless of whether leaf elements are created automatically: when you drag a document or documents to a leaf, they are assigned 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 extension on the leaf file name is stripped and Calyx RIM later assigns the appropriate extension during publishing.
