  • Publication number: 20090049078
    Abstract: A system, and program product for managing the creation, retrieval, editing or distribution of content by creating a folder and filing the folder in a library on a selected server. This is accomplished by first creating an autofoldering configuration entry in an Auto Link table. Accomplishment of this step results in returning target item types and an auto folder structure. This auto folder structure contains target and source item type IDs. The next step is fetching a next set of target item type attribute IDs, and looping through item types from the auto folder structure, searching for a target folder for each target item type from the auto folder structure. A link is invoked to a folder for each target item found; and a target folder is created if no target folders are found.
