Tech talk live content type and form design tools
- 1. Form/Model Management Mike Priest
- 2. ! Documents and Metadata ! What have we changed? ! Metadata Profiles vs Content Types ! Form Management Demo ! Form Management in action ! Forcing Metadata to be entered before filing documents ! Advanced search, search setup ! Using the same form in different contexts
- 3. ! A documents can have metadata ! For users to get metadata onto a document they require user input (either custom or built-in form) ! Current forms lack in the following functionality: ! Usability & Design Control (placement, hints, tips) ! Custom UI representation (sliders etc..) ! Validation is very limited ! Customization is very expensive ! Cannot deal with relational data easily ! Custom form development ! Tedious and long winded ! Not modular or reusable(such in a web script, hardcoded to alfresco lingo) ! Backend heavy
- 4. ! Looking at metadata from a form perspective and not as raw data ! This enables our less technical staff take part ! Representation of data can be different (e.g. Integer could be a dropdown, slider or even have a user selecting from a deck of cards) ! Removing constraints and making it modular ! Allows us to create relational data and show these relationship to the end user (profiles) ! Provides a way for the “end users” to interact with metadata/forms in a much more user focused environment. ! Validates how users INPUT there data, rather than validating after they have moved on ! Usability is much easier to manage and develop ! Utilizes “hot deploy” method and the FM Model is just JSON ! By using JSONP you can have the same forms used on external applications.

- 6. Common ! Collection of aspects Aspect ! Tied to another field in your form ! Allows use to quickly build out dependencies (e.g. Common Aspect Document Type) ! Form builder allows lists to be generated and connected to Metadata profiles Profile Aspect ! Lists can be external because the content model doesn’t deal with constraints anymore, the form management module does. Aspect Aspects from any model in Alfresco
- 7. ! Manage forms in one place and change all your applications. ! Form is a service that can be used in other platforms as well as Alfresco ! A form doesn’t have to deal with metadata ! Replacement of paper forms (Capture metadata required as you go) ! Fillable PDF’s
- 8. ! Anybody out there…
