The redlining feature creates a copy of the document and opens it for editing with any installed 3rd party application. Enabling redlining for certain document objects requires that the following criteria are met:
- A [FILEDOCUMENT|file document]] MetaClass is prepared for Redlining
- File documents can be created as child objects of other file documents
- View items for the redlined file document exist
- Context scopes for the redlined file document exist
Part 1: Prepare a file document MetaClass for Redlining
- Set the SYSCLS REDLINEDFILE classification on a MetaClass for file documents using the CD control (the MetaClass must derive from FILEDOCUMENT)
Part 2: Create a Relation or Reference Redlined documents are created as child objects of the original document, so we have to prepare the necessary relational pre-requisites.
- Create either a new relation between the file document MetaClasses or
- add a reference property Create_a_new_Reference
Create either a relation between or reference
Create the necessary relation
- Navigate to the MetaClass SYSCLS EDITABLEDOCUMENT in the Class Browser
- Open a RelationEditor for the created Document class, put the SYSCLS_EDITABLEDOCUMENT via dragging and dropping in the Relation Editor and navigate to the Classification
- Now all Instances of the created MetaClass can be set either editable or not by checking "EDIT_FILE_ALLOWED".
- To make the Document available, see the instructions on creating and editing Views.
