Adding an Attribute to a Document Type - Where do I go to update XQuery?

Legacy Contributor

New to IDM!  Trying to setup PurchaseOrderDetailReport.  Worked until I tried to add the PoDate as an attribute.  Now, I get the error "Details: Invalid XQuery. All attribute names must start with a '@';.  Name: PoNum.

Can anyone offer me some guidance on how to resolve this?

Quite why the error message complains about PoNum is a mystery but then the error messages aren't always as explicit as one might hope.

I'm assuming that all you've done at this stage is add an attribute to the CS_PurchaseOrder document type in IDM and added the OrderDateDate property to the IDO Query on the IDM Document Workflow in CSI. (in my copy of CSI, the Order Date field on the Purchase Orders form binds to property OrderDate)

When you add the attribute in IDM it has a name which is just a label and an id which isn't and needs to match the IDO property name (case sensitive).  So you can Name your attribute PoDate if you wish, but the ID needs to be OrderDate.

Unfortunately, you'll have to delete your attribute and re-add it because you can't edit the ID value after it has been saved.
