I have created a class that will be used to
display SOPs (standard
operating
procedures). I have assigned the class its required properties (mostly
of
data types String and TextArea) and generated the
class sheet and class
template. When I create new documents/instances of the SOPClass, the
documents look like the SOPTemplate.
I've tried populating the constant properties in the SOPTemplate and
creating a new document. The new document looks like the SOPTemplate in
structure but does not have any values associated with its properties.
Do you mean you edited the SOPTemplate page with the object editor and
added
your constant properties in the relevant object fields?
If you did so, when creating a new SOP those values should be copied from
the template.
Yes, this is what I did. The values don't seem to be copied when I create
a
new SOP based on the template. I'm going to try to recreate my class and
see if it helps.
Is
there a way that the SOPTemplate can propagate it's property values to
new
instances of the SOPClass? That is, I want some
(but not all) of the
properties of SOPClass to be the same for every new
document/instantiation
of the SOPClass. Is this possible? Similarly,
if these constant
properties
are modified in the future, I'd like the changes to be distributed across
all instances of SOPClass.
Is this value supposed to be user-editable? If it is, it's gonna be hard to
propagate if it gets changed. On the other hand if it's not user-editable,
there's not much of a point in using an object to store it.
Please forgive my naivety but how would I store "static" text (ie, text
that is not user editable) within a class/template.
Sorry there is nothing like static values associated to the xClass yet.
The workaround depends on how you want to use theses static values.
What you could do is writing some custom UI to edit/view theses objects and:
- take care of propagating the value change to all objects of the same class
- display and edit the value from the template instance
Thanks again,
Joe
Guillaume
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Joe
