Document Structure
Document Structure is a predefined configuration of the Item List component. Document Structure contains a structure tree that displays the hierarchical relationship between a document and its descendants. For each item in the tree, Document Structure displays attributes which you can choose via configuration. The default attributes are Number, Name, and State.
You can configure Document Structure to set the initial expansion level of the tree. By default, the initial expansion level is set to 3. Users can expand and collapse elements in the tree.
The Document Structure tree includes indentation in the leftmost column to visually show the structure level. By default, the first column in the table is Number. For all columns except Number, you can define the column order via the configuration.
Document Structure does not support exporting tree data.
The following is a sample image showing the Document Structure predefined configuration:
 |
If a user viewing a structure tree does not have access rights for an item in the structure, that item is not displayed and the following message is shown: “Some items are hidden because you don’t have access rights to them.”
|
Binding Properties
For information on binding Document Structure, see the Item List component.
| | For Document Structure, the input binding property supports the PTC.DocMgmt.Document object type. The output of the selectedItems binding property contains items with the PTC.DocMgmt.DocStructure object type. |
Configuration Properties
For a list of all available configuration properties for Document Structure, see the Configuration Properties table for the Item List component. The following table provides additional information that is specific to Document Structure regarding configuration properties.
For more information on the structure of the configuration, see Component Configuration Structure.
For more information on sub-properties, see Sub-Properties and Container Keys.
Property Name | Description | Property Type | Default Value | Required or Optional | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
attributes | See Item List for more information. Accepts attributes of the PTC.DocMgmt.DocStructure object type. Additionally, accepts the DefaultPDFRepresentation attribute, which is of the PTC.DocMgmt.DocStructure:PTC.Visualization.Representation.Custom.Adapter object type. When the DefaultPDFRepresentation attribute is included in the configuration, the Document Structure tree includes a Representation column. The Representation column contains a link to view the representation for each document which has one available. By default, the Document Structure tree is sorted by the first attribute, meaning the attribute with the lowest non-negative ordinal value. | N/A | Required | ||

Customization Services
In addition to configuration, each component supports extending its business logic to customize the component. The business logic of each component includes overridable services in a Thing Template that you can extend and override. The overridable services for this component are detailed in the following table.
For examples of returns and parameters for each service, see Examples of Input/Output for Customization Services.
Name | Description |
|---|---|
DefHookAttributesTypesInfo | Returns a JSON array containing adapter information and the attributes’ object types supported by Document Structure. Parameters: None Returns: JSON array |
GetConfigurations | Returns the available configurations for Document Structure. Parameters: None Returns: JSON |
GetImplementationSettings | Returns the Document Structure implementation's settings data. Implementations can override this service in order to provide their own settings. For more information, see the topic Additional Information on the GetImplementationSettings Service for Item List. Parameters: None Returns: JSON object |
GetItems | Returns the structure for the document specified in the input. Parameters: input (Required)– JSON in CCO format that includes the input ID for the data to be fetched from the backend system and the adapter information for the backend system. configuration (Required)– JSON with the final merged configuration obtained from the Tailoring Manager resource. Returns: JSON in CCO format |
MapItemToInputObject | Maps a document structure item to a document input, which can then be used by the GetItems service. Parameters: input (Optional)– JSON in CCO format that includes the input ID for the document at the root of the structure. item (Required)– JSON that includes the document to map. |
