Content Management and Capture

Hi Guys,

Our HR team would like to search for an id in Filenet and found all documents related to one specific hiring process. I am trying to create a compound document to include all documents related to a hiring process to address that request. So far, I have created an Document Class called employee and set that class as an Compound Document. I have created an document using the employee class and follow the instructions below to add a Child document:

"To add a child document to a compound document:

1. Start the New Compound Document Link wizard in the administration console:
   1. In the domain navigation pane, click the object store that contains the document.
   2. In the object store navigation pane, click Browse and click the folder that contains the document.
   3. In the details pane, click the document.
2. On the Children tab, click Add.
3. Complete the wizard."When I do that, I am getting the error below. Can you guys help me to find out what am I missing?

Rivaldo,

1. I'm confused b your description. Compound versus Standard document is a property of a document, not a document class.
2. A compound document consists of a parent document (can be contentless) and any number of child documents with static (to a specific version) or dynamic (to released version) . Where in your description is the parent document???

Kind regards,

Hi Gerold, Thank you for the answer! It is clear now. One question, is it possible to create a compound document and associate the children using the navigator or only using the admin console?

Hi Rivaldo,

to create a compound document using the navigator you have to implement your own custom plugin.

There is a quite old entry about this in the Ideas Portal:

@JIE ZHANG: Are there any plans for this on the RoadMap?

best regards
