Rebranding the ICR solution interface

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Ashish Gupta | Comments (0)

This blog post is part of the series on customizing the Adobe Integrated Content Review solution.

***

Integrated Content Review solution interface is a Flex® application, which is the default implementation. You can customize the default Adobe branding across the solution interface.

As an example, let us change the Adobe logo in the top-left corner of the solution interface. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Campaign Portal project in the Package Explorer view, in Flash® Builder®.
  2. Navigate to the desired skin file and open it. To change the logo, navigate to CampaignPortal > src > main > flex > com.adobe.solutions.icr.common > skins > ApplicationHeaderSkin.mxml.
  3. Make the requisite modifications. To change the logo, replace the existing path with the path to a custom logo image file, at the location shown in the following screenshot.

  4. After making the requisite changes, rebuild and redeploy the solution interface. To do so, refer to Setting up your development environment.

Note: The logo must be 107 x 47 pixels or smaller in size. If it is larger, then use the width and height properties, as shown below, to resize it.

Configuring email notifications for the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator

Posted on July 21, 2011 by Gilbert Yu | Comments (0)

The Adobe Managed & Approval Solution Accelerator 9.5 is a wonderful solution for automating reviews for documents in your organization. One of the handy features  of the solution is email updates for automated reviews. For example, emails are automatically sent for these scenarios:

  • When a reviewer completes a review or review stage.
  • When an approver approves a document.
  • When reviewers or approvers are added to or removed from a review.
  • When a review or review stage completes.

This requirement is necessary for organizations that have regulated review and approval workflows. However, in non-regulated environments, this requirement may be a distraction to users because of the number of emails  that can be sent in reviews that involve significant number of people.

Alexandra Phillips has provided an article to describe how to configure  the emails that are sent using the Solution Template provided with the Managed Review & Approval Solution Accelerator. Check out the article here.

Access custom Microsoft Office properties using LiveCycle services

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Samartha Vashishtha | Comments (0)

Marcel van Espen, over at the Dr Flex and Dr LiveCycle blog, explains how you can create a LiveCycle process to access custom Office properties. His blog post also includes a useful example.

“Within LiveCycle Workbench ES, one of the services in the common category that you can use is ‘Export XMP’. This service will extract all the available metadata from a PDF document. If you have converted a MS-Office document to a PDF document, you will be surprised what metadata is also converted. All these properties now become accessible.”

Customizing LiveCycle Workspace 9.x using Flash Builder 4.x

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Gilbert Yu | Comments (0)

When Customizing the LiveCycle Workspace ES2 User Interface [link] guide was released, it was before Adobe Flash Builder was available for us to do our certification testing. Technically, it is possible to use Flash Builder provided you use the Flex SDK version 3.4.1, ant-contrib.jar file version 1.0b2, and Ant-plug-in as described in the guide. For more information, see the LiveCycle Product blog for steps in the posting Customize LC Workspace ES2 UI using FB4 Premium on 64-bit O/S

In a future release, we plan to complete certification testing and update the guide with updated instructions, but in the meantime, here are some instructions for you to configure your environment to build Workspace customizations using Flash Builder 4. You must complete the last step in the blog when your development environment is a 64-bit operating system.

Happy customizing!

Content Services: Disable content indexing

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Samartha Vashishtha | Comments (0)

You can disable content indexing to improve Content Services 9 performance. Disabling indexing also disables text-based search within new content. However, you can still search within already-indexed content.

Follow these steps to disable indexing:

  1. In the adobe-contentservices.ear file, navigate to LiveCycle Content Services.ear/contentservices.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model and open the contentModel.xml file for editing.
  2. Locate the following line:
    <type name=”cm:content”>
  3. Set the index enabled and tokenized properties to false.
  • Change <index enabled=”true”> to <index enabled=”false”>.
  • Change <tokenized>true </tokenised> to <tokenized>false </tokenised>.

Disable the conversions required for indexing

To realize additional performance improvements, disable the conversions required for indexing. Follow these steps:

  1. In adobe-contentservices.ear, browse to contentservices.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension.
  2. Preserve a backup of the custom-metadata-extractors-context file.
  3. Delete this file from the EAR.
