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 to open a document on the clients.

  1. Open UBIK® Studio, connect to a database and switch to the Content view of the Class Browser.

  2. Browse to the MetaClass SELECTIVEITEM in the {System.List} namespace and connect it with the Bulk Editor.
    SELECTIVEITEM MetaClass  List of Selective Items
  3. As this MetaClass is a Built-in object you have to enable Admin mode to be able to add / modify entries
  4. Once the Admin mode is enabled you can add a new file extension by creating a new row and setting a description, name and value
    Create a new Selective Item for a new file extension

  5. Assign your new file extension to the Selective List for file types
