Auto Populate

The "Auto Populate" report is available for objects based on a Project when running the Reports tool from Contenta Explorer.

For this report, a combination of Contenta Server commands (executed via the Contenta API) and SQL queries are used.

To display the screen shown, the Contenta API is used to execute the following Contenta Server commands:
select idpath
list object_types [PROJECT]
  • The idpath is the absolute location of the object in Contenta hierarchy.
  • The select command changes the focus to the Contenta object described by idpath.
  • The list object_types lists all available objects in the database and their types, that can be created under the selected Project.
  • In this Contenta Server command, [PROJECT] is a variable. The value can be a custom project name.
