Modifying the Manage Assets user interface by changing System DataDictionary

Manage Assets user interface related preferences can be configured with Asset Type Definition which is a System Data Dictionary representing the Asset type. By default, Manage Asset Solution template delivers the preconfigured Data Dictionaries for Correspondence Management asset types under the CorrespondenceManagementSolutionTemplate\package-resources\apps\solutions\cm\assetDefinitions folder in form of FML files.

To modify the System Data Dictionary
  1. Navigate to the CorrespondenceManagementSolutionTemplate\package-resources\apps\solutions\cm\assetDefinitions\TextModule.fml file.

  2. Select a property ucatName, such as Category, and modify it. For example:
    <property name="ucatName" type="string"> 
      <annotation name="DDS"> 
        <item name="displayName">loc.text.prop.category</item> 
        <item name="visible">true</item> 
        <item name="searchable">true</item> 
        <item name="searchRendererOrder">3</item> 
        <item name="reviewable">true</item> 
        <item name="columnOrder">0</item> 
        <item name="searchPath">TextModule.ucat.name</item> 
      </annotation> 
    </property>

    The annotation columnOrder determines the ordering of the new column with respect to default columns. You can change columnOrder for other properties, provided the new column is not placed at last. Adding the visible property displays the Category column every time you only search for a text asset. FMLs for other assets can also be modified in a similar manner.

  3. Rebuild and Redeploy. For information on rebuilding and redeploying, see Building and deploying the Solution Template.
