Model​

The Alfresco metadata is populated from the Content Store. Below we describe the schemas with an explanation of how the fields are translated to the Alfresco fields.

{
  "migration" : {
    // REQUIRED | BOOLEAN | DESCRIPTION: Only objects where this value is set to 'true' will be created in Alfresco
    "migrate" : true
  },
  "target" : {
    // All the Content Store required fields + optional ones if required. Fields will be mapped to their Alfresco counter part automatically.
    // For example target.contentType.systemName will be mapped to nodeType, target.description will be mapped to cm:description and target.created.principal.systemName will be mapped to cm:creator
    "properties" : {
      // Any additional properties, using their technical property names defined in Alfresco
      // To find out about the technical names, use the Alfresco Model manager under Admin Tools
    }
  }
}
