Office Suite

Creating an own Office Suite Document Type

	The Office Suite is based on the document type "OFFICE_DOC" by default but it is possible to manage several document types. The actions "Check in existing File" of the Office Suite toolbar respective the command "Saving/Opening Agile-PLM" of the Office application open a dynamic menu to choose the specific document type.

	The dynamic menu will be defined by the default "GDM-DOCTYP" (standard value EDB-GDM-OPEN-DOC). The default GDM-DOCTYP interacts with the default GDM-DOCUSX which has to be set to the value MENU.

	The standard button menu EDB-GDM-TLB-SET (Office Suite toolbar) has to be enlarged with a selection for the new document type. The dynamic standard menus EDB-GDM-OPEN-DOC and EDB-GDM-OPEN-DOC-DDE have to be extended with a selection for the new document type.
	Some LogiView procedures use <GDM-DOCTYPE>-DDE for the identification of the dynamic menu!

	The following Office Suite configuration parameters have to be copied for the new document type: -GDM_WRK_TIT_1, 1,CRE -GDM_WRK_TIT_1, 1,TAB -GDM_WRK_TIT_2, 2,COM -GDM_WRK_TIT_2, 3,TAB

	Best practice
	Copy both the standard table T_DOC_GDM and the standard masks EDB-DOC-GDM-TFG and EDB-DOC-GDM-TLI.
	This has the advantage that all required mask triggers, field definitions and the Office Suite menu are also copied.
	Adapt the fields T_DOC_GDM.*** to the new type specific fields inside the new masks and their mask components.
	Copy and adapt the "TABT" standard menu EDB-GDM-BUT-CFN for the new Office Suite type.
	Expand the mentioned standard menu with a selection of the new document type.
	Copy and adapt the Office Suite configuration parameters for the new Office Suite type.
	Create templates for the property exchange.

	Property Exchange
	Create an application template for the new document type (System>OFS>Property Exchange).
	Create a template named like the application template
	Configure the mapping of the Office application properties with the fields of the new document type table.
