This is the developer manual for the Nuxeo Case Management Framework. It is intended for developers who want to create applications using this framework. Knowledge of the Nuxeo Platform will help to understand this book, but is not mandatory.

A Case Management application uses 4 key objects:

  • A Case Item is a document - it can be a file, a picture or a folder containing other documents.
  • A Case is a set of Case Items.
  • A Mailbox (aka Case Folder) contains Cases.
  • A Case Link is a symlink from a Case Folder to a Case.

If we were to use claim management nomenclature as an example:

  • A claim (Case) is filled with documents: expert reports (Case Item), pictures (Case Item) expenses reports (Case Item)...
  • The claim can be processed by the financial services department, the legal department and a claim processing manager. Each group has a Case Folder in which they can see the list of claims they are processing.
  • A claim (Case), contained in the Case Folder of the legal departement, the financial department and of the manager, points to the same Case Item. However, the actions and fields visible/changeable on each Case Item depend on the Case Folder it is in.

This document shows how Nuxeo CMF works and also how to create a custom application from Nuxeo CMF.
