Content Management and Capture

Want to set default property settings of TEXT annotation when creating a TEXT annotation at a document under ViewONE.

The following are the required properties of TEXT annotations for default setting as:

(a) Font type (i.e. such as "Times New Romans" as default)
(b) Font size (i.e. 10 pt as default)
(c) Underline (i.e. underline is enabled as default)
(d) Color of the text (i.e. black as default)
(e) Bold (i.e. bold is enabled for text as default)

From ViewONE documentation, it had mentioned to create an annotation file to control the property settings of the annotations.

But it could not find any reference documentation on how to set the 5 properties (i.e. mentioned above) in an annotation file.

Please advise how to configure or define those settings in an annotation file.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried setting Viewer parameters as described here...
Annotation style - IBM Documentation

Another option is to programmatically retrieve, update and then re-save the annotation by putting a subscription/event action on the "creation" event.

If you want to go down this route, the document in this article explains the format of the annotation content element...

Creating IBM P8 annotations that are viewable through IBM FileNet Workplace or IBM FileNet Workplace XT 

And this link contains some code snippets using the CE API...

Working with Annotation Objects - IBM Documentation

Good luck!

Dave.

Hello ITPD CR, 

If all you want to do is create an annotation I recommend you use the CPE API. You will take two steps (1) create your annotation instance (2) associate the annotation to the document object. When you create the annotation the content will be an XML file which you can construct yourself or even easier annotate one document then locate the anno in CPE. Download that content, you will need to change a few fields like the document ID, create date, person that created the anno, optionally the text. I created variables for those fields such as xIDx, when I create a new anno I simply find and replace in the anno text my new values and persist to content engine. BAM done.  Message back if you want some more help with this.
