Compose View URLs

If set to True, shows the Comments page of the document or tag. This parameter is intended to be used in the URL of a custom external page in Meridian Enterprise PowerUser. The page can be useful for Meridian Enterprise users to see the comments entered in Meridian Explorer.

Use the following VBScript expression to calculate a URL that specifies an external property page in Meridian Enterprise. Replace <ServerName> with your web server name and modify the ViewID parameter to specify the view definition. Then Meridian Enterprise users can view the comments entered by Meridian Explorer users. For more information about configuring an external property page for Meridian Enterprise, see Configure External Pages.

“http://<ServerName>/BCEnterprise/Home.aspx?ViewID=DOC_E91E5&
GLOBALID=” & Cstr(Document.ID)& “&COMMENTS=True”

• If the Meridian Explorer option Use Oracle AutoVue Client/Server deployment to view documents is enabled and AutoVueViewer is the default (set to the highest priority in the PowerUser viewer options), one viewer or the other will not work correctly in PowerUser depending on which one is activated first in the current session. In this configuration, if both clients will use AutoVue, they must use the same type of deployment, either the same client/server deployment or desktop deployment. Deployment types cannot be mixed.

• If the URL will be shown as an external property page in Meridian Enterprise and the specified view is configured to show renditions and the Enable PDFTron viewer for PDF documents option is enabled as described in Configure the Viewer Options, the rendition may not appear in PowerUser unless the following registry values are set:

  For 32-bit, set the DWORD value PowerUserU.exe to 0000270f at:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\
  Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
  FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

  For 64-bit, set the DWORD value PowerUser.exe to 0000270f at:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
  Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
  FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

Optional ID of an item filter to apply to the specified view. The filter specifies which documents are included using property matching. If the filter specifies property value criteria, the property values must be specified in placeholders in the URL. The criterion operator in the filter definition will be used and should not be specified in the URL. If no value is specified in the URL for the property value criteria of a filter, the filter always evaluates to True. For information about creating item filters, see Create And Edit Item Filters.

When missing (default) or set to TRUE, hides the views bar at the bottom of the page. This parameter is intended for use when Meridian Explorer is integrated with another system and only the Documents view is relevant. The views bar can be hidden entirely as described in Customize the User Interface.

When missing (default) or set to YES, shows links to the home page. When set to NO, hides the home page links. This parameter is intended for use with the MOD parameter to show a substitute view.

One or more document IDs to show in a view specified by the VIEWID parameter. Separate multiple IDs with the semicolon (;) character. For example:

http://MyServer/bcenterprise/Home.aspx?VIEWID=DOC_E91E5&ID=100;101;102

Hides the views bar and the HOME tab in the ribbon menu bar when one document or a list of documents is previewed in a new browser window, such as from within a maintenance management system.

When set to one of the shortcuts listed in Meridian Enterprise Server URL Shortcuts, shows that view instead of the home page.

When missing (default) or set to YES, shows a group of the most recently used view names on the home page. When set to NO, it shows the welcome text instead of the view names.

Optional display state of the navigation pane in the browser. May only be used with VIEWID. If this parameter is set to HIDE, the pane is collapsed and the results pane expands to full window width. If this parameter is set to any other or no value, the navigation pane is visible.

Export package ID to show on the Collections page by the VIEWCAT parameter as in the following example.

http://MyServer/bcenterprise/home.aspx?RN=MyRepository&ViewCat=MyPackage&PACKAGEID=10

Also used for the ID of a package to show on the Import Packages page by the import URL shortcut described in Meridian Enterprise Server URL Shortcuts. For example:

http://MyServer/bcenterprise/import?PACKAGEID=10

Optional ID of an item filter to apply to the specified view. Typically, this filter is used to specify which assets are included using indirect linking. If the filter specifies property value criteria, the property values must be specified in placeholders in the URL. The criterion operator in the filter definition will be used and should not be specified in the URL. If no value is specified in the URL for the property value criteria of a filter, the filter always evaluates to True. For information about creating item filters, see Create And Edit Item Filters.

When set to 1, the Upload button will be available in the toolbar of the Related Documents page. When set to 0 (default), the button is not shown. This parameter is intended for use when the view is shown from within a maintenance management system.

Users can click the button to upload files to the Meridian Enterprise source vault of the repository. The files will be uploaded to the first vault that is a source of the synchronization job of the repository. You cannot specify one vault from among multiple sources. If no source vault is configured for the synchronization job, an error will occur.

The Meridian Portal web application web.config file should also be modified to configure the maximum acceptable file size (in KB) to upload, similar to the following. Files larger than this will fail to upload. The default is 4096:

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />

The AIMS_Attach_Intialize event procedure must also be implemented (to assign a document type to the uploaded documents, for example) as described in Asset Management Events. The optional AIMS_Attach_Before and AIMS_Attach_After events may also be implemented.

The item type view to open. The supported types are DOC, TAG, Project, and Package.

The ID of the view to open. When a document view is specified, all documents will be listed that match the filter specified by DOCFILTER or are related to a tag that matches the filter specified for TAGFILTER. When a tag view is specified, all tags will be listed that match the filter specified by TAGFILTER or are related to a document that matches the filter specified for DOCFILTER. Required for use with the Meridian Asset Management Module.
