Reference a Document Manager component
The Document Manager component tag is used to reference a Document Manager component.
| <DocumentManagerComponent name=" " scope=" " attributeName=" " format=" " convertTo=" " start=" " end=" " /> | |
|---|---|
| <DocumentManagerComponent | Opens a Component Tag. |
| name=" " | Enter the name and library of the component being referenced. For example, name="library/item". To use the library specified in the URL of the current page, use name="./item". |
| scope=" " | The scope specifies what will be returned from the selected Document Manager document:
|
| attributeName=" " | If scope="attribute" use this parameter to specify the attribute to display. |
| format=" " | Used to specify the display format of dates and numbers. See Setting parameters to format dates and Note on formatting numbers for further information. |
| convertTo=" " | Used to specify a mime type that the document should be converted to. For example, "text/html" or "application/pdf". |
| start=" "
end=" "
| The Start and End attributes are used to wrap the data returned by an IBM® Workplace Web Content Management™ tag within other tags, such as HTML. These attributes are not mandatory. See the Using Start and End Attributes topic for more information on using these attributes. |
| /> | Closes a Web Content Management Tag. |
In previous versions of Web Content Management, this tag was named "DocumentManagerLibCmpnt". You can still use this tag name, but it will be converted to "DocumentManagerComponent" when saved.
