[Mayan EDMS: 2226] Use 'Document Type' as a option in Indexes.

[Herco Van Dyk]

Hi!

I am building indexes and would like one the child nodes be presented as
the actual 'document type' container.

The example in the docs make use of 'has_metadata_of', but I would want to
use something to the effect of 'is_of_doctype'.

*For example:*
I have a metadata value EmployeeNumber, along with 3 document types,
IDDocument, Transaction, PerviousPayment. So the nodes would look something
like this;


{{ document.metadata_value_of.EmployeeNumber }}
{{ document.*is_of_doctype*.IDDocument }}
{{ document.*is_of_doctype*.Transaction }}
{{ document.*is_of_doctype*.PreviousPayments }}

The rendered index would look something like this:


Employee Number Index
#4837738
ID Document (actual container)
Document1
Transaction (actual container)
Doc2
Doc3
Doc4
Previous Payment (actual container)
Doc5
Doc6

Any advice on how to achieve this would be great.

One workaround would be to add the doctype to the document as metadata when
the document is created, but surely there must be a more elegant solution.

Thanks all!

Hello I do not have an answer but I would like to augment your question by another one. In the concepts section of Mayan documentation it states that:

Indexes are an automatic method to hierarchically organize documents in relation to their properties (Metadata, label, MIME type, etc)."

How to bild an index in relation to the value of label?

Is the following correct:
{{document.label_value_of.clientID}}

on condition that clientID is the slug used in label?

Thanks
