  • Permission List Component
  • Sidenav Layout Component

Share File

Creates and manages public shared links for files.

<button mat-icon-button
    [baseShareUrl]="http://localhos:8080/myrouteForShareFile/"
    [adf-share]="documentList.selection[0]">
    <mat-icon>share</mat-icon>
</button>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Lock file

Lock File

When the directive is clicked a dialog is shown and you can lock or unlock a file (folder cannot be locked)
there are two types of lock: indefinite lock and time lock.
If the time is not selected the user will lock the file it until will not unlock it
When a file is locked it can be locked and unlocked by default only by the user that creates the lock but you can also allow the other file owners to modify it

<button mat-icon-button [adf-node-lock]="node.entry">
    <mat-icon>lock</mat-icon> Lock file
</button>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Comments

Comment a Node

The comments component can now be used also on files.

<adf-comments
    [nodeId]="YOUR_NODE_ID"
    [readOnly]="YOUR_READ_ONLY_FLAG">
</adf-comments>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

 

 

Inherit permissions button

Inherit Permission Button

Is it now possible add remove inherit permissions to a specific node via ADF adding the directive :

<button mat-raised-button
 adf-inherit-permission [nodeId]="nodeId"
 (updated)="onUpdatedPermissions($event)">
BUTTON TEXT</button>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This directive should be added to a button and when the button is clicked this will add/remove the inherited permission based on the actual node configuration.

Permission List Component

Permission List Component

We have added a new component to show the list of the permission actually present for a specific node :

    <adf-permission-list [nodeId]="nodeId">
    </adf-permission-list>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

 Also this component will allow the role change for the locally set permissions using a dropdown.

Sidenav Layout Component

Sidenav Layout Component

We have added a new component to make the common layout organisation easier to reuse.

<adf-sidenav-layout [sidenavMin]="70" [sidenavMax]="220" [stepOver]="600">

    <adf-sidenav-layout-header>
        <ng-template let-toggleMenu="toggleMenu">...</ng-template>
    </adf-sidenav-layout-header>

    <adf-sidenav-layout-navigation>
        <ng-template let-isMenuMinimized="isMenuMinimized">...</ng-template>
    </adf-sidenav-layout-navigation>

    <adf-sidenav-layout-content>
        <ng-template>
            <router-outlet></router-outlet>
        </ng-template>
    </adf-sidenav-layout-content>

</adf-sidenav-layout>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Sidenav Layout Component

Content metadata component enhancement

Two new input parameters have been added to the content-metadata component.

  • With parameter multi, the component is able to open multiple expansion panel at the same time.
  • With parameter readOnly, the metadata can't be edited, there is no pencil icon.

<adf-content-metadata-card
    [node]="node"
    [multi]="true"
    [readOnly]="true">
</adf-content-metadata-card>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Search enhancements

Search Enhancements

In this release we have started working on the various search enhancements and ground work for the Faceted Search support.

Please note that the work is still in progress and you should expect more features in the upcoming releases. 

Search Filter

This is a new component that adds advanced search capabilities for your application.

You can find more details in the following Jira ticket: [ADF-2128] Facet Container (P1) - Alfresco JIRA 

The working demo can be found in the "demo shell" application.

Selected Facets

Search Chip List

This is a new component that allows you to display a list of chips reflecting the facet queries and facet buckets user has selected in the Search Filter component. It is possible to remove the chips to perform an automatic data update.

Version Management Enhancements

Version Management component now allows you the following features out of the box:

- View all document versions

- Upload new versions of the documents

- (new) Delete any of the previous versions

- (new) Download any of the previous versions

In addition, all actions are wired with the node permissions. Users won't be able to delete, restore or upload new versions if they are not granted permissions to update the given node.

Task Standalone

Task Standalone

With the current ADF release, we have a new component adf-task-standalone that contains all the code related to a Task that doesn't belong to a process.
The component exposes basic properties to hide or shows buttons or customize the title like the taskName.

<adf-task-standalone
    [taskName]= "taskname"
    [isCompleted]="false"
    [hideCancelButton]="true">
</adf-task-standalone>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Localisation

This release includes: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Norwegian (Bokmål), Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese versions.
