projectdoc Toolbox

In addition to the properties specified in the document properties table, projectdoc provides additional properties drawn from Confluence or metadata.

Artificial properties are derived properties added to documents and therefore made available to users for displaying and adding constraints for queries.

 

Use the Display All Document Properties Macro to list all properties of a document.

Properties in different Representations

A property may provide its value in different representations.

The basic concept it that the pure text representation of a property has the same name as the property, but puts a dollar sign ($) at the end. In case the value has a canonical representation, then the name is extended by the paragraph sign (§).

The projectdoc Toolbox provides different representations for dates and URLs (uniform resource locators).

Dates

If a document property value is a date using the time element (create with two slashes '//') then the projectdoc Toolbox will provide a standard rendered value in pure text ('$' version) and a normalized representation of the date ('§' version). The normalized representation can be used to order the elements by the date.

 

Example for the artificial property "Last Modification Date".

PropertyValue
Last Modification Date

 

Last Modification Date$30 Aug 2019
Last Modification Date§20190830

Uniform Resource Locators

For each HTML link with an absolute URL the projectdoc Toolbox provides the names of the link labels ('$' version) and the list of URLs from the HTML href attribute ('§' version).

Since 4.0

 

This feature is available since the projectdoc Toolbox version 4.0.

Since version 4.5 more URL representations of artificial properties are supported.

A URL is considered to be absolute if it includes the scheme (e.g. http://).

 

Example for a property with a reference to an external site.

PropertyValue
Homepage
Homepage$smartics
Homepage§https://www.smartics.eu/

Users

The creator's and last modifier's login name is rendered by Creator and Last Modifier.

Adding a '$' renders the full name.

Since 4.0

 

The full name property is provided since version 4.0.
