Hi,
I'm new on Alfresco development. I just start and can create custom content model (aspects, properties) and create simple custom workflow (guide from Jeff Potts blog).
And now I want to steap ahead with new requirements on how to create custom document page (list of documents / browse) with specific header list taken from content model I just created previously (e.g. Effective From, Effective To, Specific Notes, Unit Responsible, etc.) as table header.
Secondly, from that document list I will create an alert/notification system before document expire. This alert will send an email to responsible unit/group.
With those above requirements where can I start to find the basic tutorial and documents should read. Or development will be used (webscript? smartfolder might be help? etc.)
Thank you in advance!

If you are using the latest version of Alfresco, you can use Smart Folders to create custom document list views.
Read more about smart folders here: http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/concepts/sf-intro.html
For creating document list/alerts, you would need to setup rules or do custom development. For this go through job scheduling in Alfresco.
Read more about job scheduling via extension points here: http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/references/dev-extension-points-scheduled-jobs.html
Hi:
Some guidelines from a non-developer (you can do all things listed below only with javascript, xml files, properties files and some Spring knowledge) :
Hope this helps.

Hi Bhagya Silva, thanks for pointing me to both information.
In smartfolders template I should read more on smartfolders template (some kinds of .ftl files), since the final output of smartfolders is use default alfresco view. I want the format like in common table/spreadsheet contents (e.g. | Number | Document Title | Effective From | Effective To | Responsible Group|). Is it possible to create custom view for smartfolders?
For scheduling job, since I have almost zero knowledge on Java and said that JavaScript is possible to develop for scheduled jobs, I will focus on JavaScript development. CMIIW in case "only JavaScript" can handle this (no more Java program/codes required).
Thanks,
Hi Cesar Capillas,
Many thanks!
As the Document Library already supports custom views for the listing of documents, you should be able to create a custom view for smart folders.
Thank you. I will check it!
