Tag: CreateItem
The CreateItem action, along with the applicable SetParam child actions, lets you automate the 'Create Items' process launched by clicking on the 'Create' button found in the Diff/Values panel in scanEZ.
Detailed Description
By default, omitting the attribute OnExisting will have the same effect as <CreateItem OnExisting="Create"> which is the equivalent of the 'Replace' button on the Warning dialog displayed when creating an item that already exists in the target documents.
The checkbox option 'Apply to all documents' is always engaged when using the CreateItem action.
The minimum block of SetParam child actions will consist of:
If omitted, the additional SetParam 'Flag' options IsSummary, IsEncrypted, IsSigned, and IsProtected will be their default values set for the New Items dialog.

<CreateItem OnExisting="skip">
<SetParam field="TypeList" value="number"/>
<SetParam field="FieldName" value="autoCreateNUM"/>
<SetParam field="FieldValue" value="29"/>
<SetParam field="IsProtected" value="true"/>
</CreateItem>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ytriaAutomation Application="scanEZ" ApplicationVersion="16.5" Version="1.0">
<Load Server="ACME01/ACME" database="Testcopy.nsf"/>
<focus target="tree" category="Documents" type="Document"/>
<CreateItem OnExisting="skip">
<SetParam field="TypeList" value="Number"/>
<SetParam field="FieldName" value="AutoCreateNum"/>
<SetParam field="FieldValue" value="29"/>

</ytriaAutomation>
In the script above, the database "Testcopy.nsf" will be opened and the focus placed on the document type "Document". The CreateItem action will be launched on all Documents within the focused selection tree node, creating a new Number-type item named "AutoCreateNum" with a value of "29", and with a flag set for 'Protected'.
