Add IDs for Files and Folders in iSheet XML

Mark Salamon
27301

In file and folder link columns, and in file and folder metadata iSheets, in the XML feed, can the IDs of the files and folders be included?  Without the IDs it's very difficult to make any use of those columns (and corresponding iSheets).  It should be relatively simple to get that information and the XML is extensible and should support additional xml nodes or attributes with that information.  For example:  a column with a document currently looks like:

<column position="1" columnid="123"><rawData><document><docName><![CDATA[Agreement]]></docName><docExtension><![CDATA[pdf]]></docExtension><docIndex/></document></rawData><displayData><![CDATA[ Agreement

Just add <id>####</id> inside <rawData> or add an attribute <rawData id="###">

  • David Corrin Btw, the technique I discovered works with that URL format too. Just add &metaData.itemId={ITEMID} to the end and it will limit the results to a single record. Conceivably, at the time the user clicks on a file or folder to access it, you could make the single record call out and retrieve the fileid or folderid and then take the user there. It's unlikely that the user will click on any of the files, so this should save some processing.
