Capture Server Pro - Modify Your Metadata - Add Document URL to Your Document Metadata

Description

Once a document has gone through an Upload to Destination step, a field called DocURL is filled out containing the URL to a document when released to Microsoft SharePoint.

This field is filled in within the General section of a document's metadata and not the index section where it can be seen within the monitor. Below is a script that will move this into the document's Index section for manipulation.

NOTE: Modify your Metadata is only available in Capture Server Pro 1.10 and later.

Example

var fieldToSet = "DocURL";

batch.Documents.forEach(function (doc)
{
    var docUrlValue = doc.Metadata["General"]["DocURL"];
    if (!(fieldToCheck == null || fieldToCheck.trim() === ''))
    {
        builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", fieldToSet, docUrlValue);
    }
});

Below are the step by step instructions on what this script is doing.

1.

 
var fieldToSet = "DocURL";

 

 First, we want to define DocURL as a variable we label fieldToSet to be used later.

2.

 
batch.Documents.forEach(function (doc)

 

 Then, we will use a forEach to cycle through each document to perform our task on all documents.

3.

 
var docUrlValue = doc.Metadata["General"]["DocURL"];
if (!(fieldToCheck == null || fieldToCheck.trim() === ''))

 

From there, you will set a new variable called DocUrlValue to the general metadata value of DocURL as mentioned in the description above.

NOTE: This will only be present after an Upload to Destination has been performed.

4.

 
builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", fieldToSet, docUrlValue);

 

 Finally, we will use SetDocoumentMetadata to set the fieldToSet (DocURL) with our docUrlValue from step 3 in the Index section.

You should now see a DocURL field shown in the monitor once a document has been uploaded to SharePoint.
