Content Platform Engine add-on extensions
The Content Platform Engine
add-on extensions are modules that contain custom metadata and data that is stored in the design and
target object stores and are used by Case Builder and Case Client. The custom metadata includes
classes that are derived from base Content Platform Engine classes. These add-on
extensions provide the core object model, history, and analytics support.
Using the Content Platform Engine APIs, you can extend some of the custom classes to develop a customized solution. These custom classes include the Case Folder and Case Activity classes, which are basic solution components. Both the Case Folder and Case Activity classes are abstract classes and must be subclassed for a solution. Other classes, such as Deployed Solution, Deployed Case Type, and Case Comment, can be used as-is or can be subclassed. All of these custom classes are enabled to support case history and analytics.
As an example, you might want to extend the Case
Folder class to add application-specific metadata. The base Case Folder
class includes a few properties that reflect the type of case, the
case state, the case ID, and the document that initiated the case.
A subclass of the Case Folder class might be added to represent an
insurance policy application. To this subclass, you might add properties
for the name of the applicant, contact information, date of birth,
requested policy amount, or other information. Some of the operations
you can perform in a customized solution include:
- Querying for cases
- Creating a case
- Updating case properties
- Retrieving the metadata for case classes and document classes
- Adding a folder in a case folder
- Adding a document to a case
