Add a new file extension

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.

  1. Open UBIK® Studio and connect to a database. In the Class Browser switch to the Content view.
    Add a file extension
  2. 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).
    Add a file extension
    Add a file extension
    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.
