Configuration examples

The Tridion Docs SES Connector tries to support various user scenarios in order to help the user to pick the correct term(s) for the metadata bound field. Depending on configuration parameters, the user can pick from the entire taxonomy structure, a certain subtree of the taxonomy, ...

We define a hypothetical taxonomy structure, which we will use to illustrate the various configuration options the system administrator has to influence which terms the user can pick.

In the examples, we describe how the resulting tree structure looks like. Note that:
  • The ResolveIds method only provides a fast way to convert ids to labels. It does not take into account all possible configuration options and it does not check wether the term belongs to the resulting tree structure.
  • The RetrieveTagStructure method will return the resulting tree structure. It returns both selectable and non-selectable terms to allow the user to navigate to a selectable term deeper in the structure.
  • The RetrieveTags method will only return the selectable terms that belong to the resulting tree structure.
  • The Validate method will check whether the provided terms are selectable and belong to the resulting tree structure.
All examples build upon:
  • The metadata binding concepts
  • The SES taxonomy concepts: models, terms, relationships, class, ...
  • The fact that all fields used are already created in the Content Manager database and that their field type is either string or multi value string.
