Custom JavaScript

The Rules Wizard lists all of the JavaScript files that are available in the Company Home > Data Dictionary > Scripts space.

You can extend your business rules by writing your own JavaScript files and placing them in this space, so that they are visible to the Rules Wizard.

Programadas

A scheduled action is made up of three parts:

A cron expression,

A query template, and

An action template.

You need to create a schedule action XML configuration file in your extensions folder,

in order to specify the scheduled time, and the custom JavaScript. You will find the

scheduled action sample file, scheduled-action-services-context.xml.sample,

Note: Restart the Alfresco server to ensure that the configuration changes are effective.

3 Rules triggers:

• Inbound: Content arriving into a space, either new, copied or moved

• Outbound: Content leaving a space, either deleted or moved

• Update: Content updated, either uploaded or saved
