Hide Primary Content field in WTDocument subtype

Hello All,

 

I have a requirement where I have to hide the field Primary Content in the create and edit layout of WTDocument. I understand that it is not a part of PDM functionality but I would like to customize this and keep the primary content hidden in the form. Requesting you to shed some light on the options.

 

Thanks,

Sha

The below customization done in documentManagement.js took care of this requirement.

 

function updatePrimaryContent(value){

if(value == 'wt.doc.WTDocument|typeName of the Document'){
document.getElementById("primary0contentSourceList").selectedIndex = 0;
document.getElementById("templatePickerDiv").style.display = "none";
}
//This if will hide primary content selection block
if(value == 'wt.doc.WTDocument|typeName of the Document'){
var primaryContentContainer = null;
}
else{
var primaryContentContainer = document.getElementById('primaryContentPullDown');
}

//var primaryContentContainer = document.getElementById('primaryContentPullDown');
var keepCheckoutDiv = document.getElementById('checkboxkeepCheckedOutDiv');
var attrPanelDiv = document.getElementById('setAttributesTablePane');
var horizontalLine = document.getElementById('primaryContentHzLine');
var insertLocationPickerDiv = document.getElementById('insertLocationPickerDiv');

if(value!=''){
if (primaryContentContainer != null){
primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
if (keepCheckoutDiv != null){
keepCheckoutDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
if (attrPanelDiv != ''){
attrPanelDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
if (horizontalLine != ''){
horizontalLine.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
if (insertLocationPickerDiv != null) {
insertLocationPickerDiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
}else{
if (primaryContentContainer != null){
primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
if (keepCheckoutDiv != null){
keepCheckoutDiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
if (attrPanelDiv != ''){
attrPanelDiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
if (horizontalLine != ''){
horizontalLine.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}

}

 

function displayPrimaryContent(){
//This block will hide file selection and file description in primary Content

var type = document.getElementById('createType').value;
if(type == 'wt.doc.WTDocument|documentType Name'){
hideElement('primaryFileWidgets');
hideElement('primaryURLWidgets');
hideElement('primaryExternalWidgets');
hideElement('primarySCMWidgets');

}

else{
var source;
var sourceList = document.getElementById('primary0contentSourceList');
var scmField = document.getElementById('scmHiddenField');
if( scmField != null && typeof scmField != 'undefined' )
manageSCMConent(sourceList);
if (sourceList!=null && typeof sourceList!= 'undefined' ){

source=sourceList.value;
}else{
return;
}

// then show whatever's appropriate
// ***MEC get strings from Java constants
if ( source=="URL" ) {
showElement('primaryURLWidgets');
} else if ( source=="EXTERNAL" ) {
showElement('primaryExternalWidgets');
} else if ( source=="CLEARCASE" ) {
showElement('primarySCMWidgets');
} else if ( source=="FILE" ) {
showElement('primaryFileWidgets');
}
}
}

Hello Sha,

 

          Yes, it is not a part of the Windchill functionality and is not officially supported.

However, one file you probably want to do some experiment:  netmarkets/javascript/documentManagement.js

Been experimenting with the same file for the past 2 days, no luck so far.

Hi @Sha11 

@Joe_Sun give you good hint. 

You need to get selected type of WTDocument and basend on it show or hide the primary content panel

netmarkets/javascript/documentManagement.js

if (primaryContentContainer != null){
primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'visible';
}

change the visible to hidden

if (primaryContentContainer != null){
primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'hidden';
}

example with type control
		if (value=="YOURDOCTYPE")
		{
 if (primaryContentContainer != null){
 primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'hidden';
 }
		}else{
			if (primaryContentContainer != null){
 primaryContentContainer.style.visibility = 'visible';
 }

 

Then you need to preselect no content to achieve that wizard does not force you to select upload content.
