Create a new Record from WebDrawer
There are many samples in the ServiceAPI documentation for creating forms to create a new Record, you can adapt any of these to work in WebDrawer if you want to add a record creation form in your WebDrawer instance. Here is a very simple first form...
Steps
1. Create file
In the WebDrawer install folder create a new folder, give it any name (I called mine 'My'). Inside that folder create a text file (with a CSHTML extension) with any name (I called mine 'Page.cshtml').
2. Create a Form
Paste the code below into your new file:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create and Upload a Document";
var recordTypes = this.TrimHelper.Search<RecordType>(
BaseObjectTypes.RecordType, "usable",
pageSize: 100, properties:new string[]{"Name"}, sortBy:new string[]{"Name"});
}
<form class="trim-form" method="post" action="~/Record" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="margin-left:20px">
<input type="hidden" name="Continue" value="Record?q=uri:{0}" />
<fieldset>
<legend>Document details</legend>
<label>Record Type:</label>
<select name="@PropertyIds.RecordRecordType">
@foreach (var recordType in recordTypes)
{
<option value="@recordType.Uri">@recordType.Name</option>
}
</select>
<label>Title</label>
<input name="@PropertyIds.RecordTitle" />
<label>Files:</label>
<input type="file" name="Files" multiple="multiple" />
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
3. Open the page
Because my folder is called 'My' and my page called 'Page.cshtml' I can open the page like this:
http://MyServer/webdrawer/my/page
Summary
Read through the ServiceAPI documentation and browse the samples for more ideas. In essence you can create any type of RM object simply by posting a set of correctly named properties to the correct end point.
