Creation shortcuts

The Create button in the menu bar facilitates access to the creation of a component of a given class.

This button is configured using a ComponentReference object to define:

• category: the type of object to be created (document, folder, task, etc.)
• id: class identifier

Example : Referencing a DocumentAgent class document

<bean id="documentAgentRef" class="com.flower.docs.domain.component.ComponentReference">
	<property name="category">
		<value type="com.flower.docs.domain.component.Category">DOCUMENT</value>
	</property>
	<property name="id">
		<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.common.Id">
			<property name="value" value="DocumentAgent" />
		</bean>
	</property>
</bean>	

This reference is then added to the shortcut button. To do this, edit the componentCreationShortcuts bean configuration (or define it if it does not exist) such that:

<bean id="componentCreationShortcuts" class="java.util.ArrayList">
   <constructor-arg>
     <list>
       <ref bean="documentAgentRef"/>
     </list>
   </constructor-arg>
</bean>

By default, document creation is carried out via the document insertion place and then the indexing place, so that the document content is displayed during indexing.

It is also possible to have a similar behavior to other types of components and create them as popups by setting the shortcut.document.creation.popup team property to true.
