Actions are grouped using the actionGroup elements. The type of node and also the view currently in use determines the actual group used. The group is calculated by the calculateActionGroupId() function in surf-doclist.lib.js and is designed to be overridden if many new and/or altered actions are required.
The action groups defined in a default installation are:
| Action Group ID | Default Usage |
|---|---|
| document-browse | Documents on the browse page |
| document-details | Document on the document details page |
| folder-browse | Folders on the browse page |
| folder-details | Folders on the folder details page |
| document-link-browse | Links to documents on the browse page |
| document-link-details | Links to folders on the document details page |
| folder-link-browse | Links to folders on the browse page |
| folder-link-details | Links to folders on the folder details page |
The action groups are located in the <actionGroups> config container element with the following structure:
<actionGroupid>
<action />
</actionGroup>
where:
-
<actionGroup>: Action group config container element with the
following attribute:
- id: Unique action group ID
-
<action>: Action element with the following mandatory
attribute:
- id: Reference to action as defined in <actions> config section
Other actions properties can be overridden here, although it is recommended from a maintenance view to only override “simple” properties like the icon and label. These make it possible to reuse an action with document-biased icon and label to be used for folders.
Example config
<configevaluator="string-compare"condition="DocLibActions">
...
<actionGroup id="folder-browse">
<action index="100" id="folder-view-details" />
<action index="110" id="folder-edit-properties" icon="folder-edit-properties" />
<label="actions.folder.edit-metadata" />
</actionGroup>
</config>
