UBIK® knows a list of default file types and its extensions for documents. If you need an addtional extension it can be added by extending the system list of file types. The extensions also effects which application is used once a document should be opened.
- Open UBIK® Studio and connect to a database. In the Class Browser switch to the Content view.
- Add a SelectiveItem in Admin mode
Now browse to {System.List} in the Class Browser and open the MetaClass SELECTIVEITEM in the Bulk Editor (via Drag & Drop).
Every row in the Bulk Editor is shown greyed and can´t be edited, because the MetaClass SELECTIVEITEM is a system MetaClass. So we need to enable the Admin mode.
After enabling the Admin mode you can add a new row for your file extension.
- Add your new file extension to the selective list
Open the SELECTIVELIST MetaClass and connect the objects called FILETYPES with the Relation Editor to add your new file extension via drag & drop.
Please do not forget the save button.
- Release the new MetaDefintiions
- Restart the web service
