createShortcuts | S-Drive Documentation

Creates shortcuts to existing files under a different parent record (and optionally into a specific folder there), without duplicating the underlying file content.

How to call this method

global static void createShortcuts(
    String destinationObjectFilePrefix,
    String destinationObjectFileName,
    String destinationRelationshipName,
    String destinationObjectId,
    String sourceObjectFilePrefix,
    String sourceObjectFileName,
    String selectedFolder,
    List<String> fileIds
)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`destinationObjectFilePrefix`	`String`	Yes	Prefix of the file object the shortcuts should be created as. Use `cg__` for S-Drive's built-in file objects.
`destinationObjectFileName`	`String`	Yes	Name of the file object the shortcuts should be created as.
`destinationRelationshipName`	`String`	Yes	Relationship field name between the destination file object and its parent — `Parent__r` for custom objects, or the Master-Detail/Lookup relationship name for S-Drive's built-in objects.

`sourceObjectFilePrefix`	`String`	Yes	Prefix of the file object the source/original files belong to.

Example

Creating a shortcut of an existing Case File on an Account--the resulting shortcut is an Account File.

List<String> caseFileIds;

cg.SDriveTools.createShortcuts(
    'cg__', 'AccountFile__c', 'Account__r',
    accountId,
    'cg__', 'CaseFile__c',
    '', // top level, no specific folder
    caseFileIds
);
