Question

Document name auto assigned matching the document template picker

Is there a straightforward way to have the document name being dynamically generated to match the template name when a user creates a new document?

Hi Danilo Chaves

Yes, you can use JavaScript for that matter. I am not able to make it work with Name field, but I did it with IBA field. Refer below screen capture:

To do this, I have added below JavaScript function in "<WT_HOME>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\document\create.jspf" file.

<script language="JavaScript">


  PTC.driverAttributes.on("afterRefresh",function() {


  setTimeout(function(){ getTemplateName(); }, 500);


});





// This function will retrieve Template value/name on Change Notice wizard


function getTemplateName() {




  // alert("test");




  var ele = document.getElementById('templatesCombo');


  var name = ele.options[ele.selectedIndex].text;




  // alert("Template name :: " + name);




  var chk = "-- Select a Template --";


  if (name == chk) {


  var elem = document.getElementById("model");


  elem.value = "";


  } else { 


  var elem = document.getElementById("model");


  elem.value = name;


  }


}


</script>

I hope this helps you!

Regards,

Shirish

You can use jQuery to change the Name field. Using FireFox inspect element you can see there are actually 2 inputs whose id starts with "NameInputId". The difference is one is type text and the other is type hidden. The type text is the one you want to change so you could use jQuery like this:




function getTemplateName() {  


  


    // alert("test");  


    var name = jQuery('#templatesCombo').val();


    // alert("Template name :: " + name);  


    var chk = "-- Select a Template --";


    if(name != chk) {


        //Note there are 2 inputs like this


        //The "real" one is type=text and there is also one of type=hidden


        //this will select the one of type=text and change it


        jQuery("input[id^=NameInputId][type=text]").val(name);


    }


}

Hi Randy Jones,

I tried this Jquery example; however it is not populating Name field with Template Name. Instead it is populated with OID (VR:wt.doc.WTDocument:XXXXX).
