Question

Set a Tag on the Parent folder using the SDK (RA)

SDK Workflow

Updated August 20, 2015

asked on September 4, 2014

Greetings,

I have a folder I want to run a workflow on. I have set the rule to look for the change of adding a Tag. My application creates the folder, adds metadata to the folder, then adds images to the folder in LaserFiche. After a period of time I need to trigger a workflow, my plan was to set the Tag on the Parent folder. Can this be done using the SDK?

Thanks

Phil

Is there another Tag class in your code that is superseding the RA Tag class? Try prefixing Tag.GetInfo with Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess

You can assign tags using the EntryInfo.AssignTag method in RepositoryAccess, something like this:

int docId = 100;
DocumentInfo doc = Document.GetDocumentInfo(docId, Session);
FolderInfo parentFolder = doc.GetParentFolder();

TagInfo tagToAssign = Tag.GetInfo("name of the tag to assign", Session);
parentFolder.AssignTag(tagToAssign, ""); // Saves immediately

Robert,

Thanks for the help. I am getting any error when I try to implement this method. Here is my code.

// ====== Set Tag to Triger Workflow ====== 9/4/2014
            int docId = documentID;
            Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.DocumentInfo doc = 				Document.GetDocumentInfo(docId, mySess); 
            FolderInfo parentFolder = doc.GetParentFolder(); 
            TagInfo tagToAssign = Tag.GetInfo("Packet 				 	Complete",mySess); 
            parentFolder.AssignTag(tagToAssign, ""); // Saves 				immediately

The error occurs at "Tag.GetInfo" it says;

Error 19 'object' does not contain a definition for 'GetInfo' and no extension method 'GetInfo' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) H:\_Development\VS2012\c#.Net\Document Package Creator\Document Package Creator\Form1.cs 99 39 Document Package Creator

I assumed this is a Repository Access assembly.

What am I missing?

Thanks Robert,

It is these little things with C# that I miss. I will remember to try this in the future.

Much Thanks!!

This was a useful example, Robert. Here's a snippet I used to test this in VB.net, for a document vs a folder. It uses the same steps with a little different syntax:

'Create a Doc Info Object
Dim LF_DocInfo As DocumentInfo = Document.GetDocumentInfo(DocID, LF_Session)
'Create the Tag Info Object
Dim TagToAssign As TagInfo = Tag.GetInfo(sTagName, LF_Session)
'Assign the Tag to the Document
LF_DocInfo.AssignTag(TagToAssign, "")
