Rename File Based on Variable Value Not Using a Template?

Michael Dekoning Jan 11, 2011 3:37 PM

Is it possible to rename a file on initial check in based on a variable value in the file data card? I know it could be done with a template but these files are being created outside the vault and then copied into it. Plus there are many file types which would each require a separate template.

API could do this. Maybe Dispatch too?

Make sure you have them set to do the rename AFTER the file is initially checked in else you may lose some references.

  Hi Guys,
  
  I think the API is a better bet. Dispatch does have some capability in this area, but, lacks the error checking that you would invariably have to use.

  p.s. Mike - hope to meet up with you at SWW?

  So Jeff you're saying hook EdmCmd_PostAdd in the Add-in?
