Properties view

Properties define the information about an object. The specific properties associated with an object come from the object's class. For example, a base document class exists for documents. Additional document classes, created by an administrator, also exist in an object store. When you add a new object of any kind, a key step in the process is the choice of a class to assign to the object. You can choose the base object class or any of the other classes associated with the object. Your choice of an object class determines the specific properties associated with your new object.

You access property information when you click the Get Info icon to open the information page for an object. The Properties view is the default view. If you have appropriate access permissions, you can edit property values from the Properties view of the information page. Some properties are read-only properties and cannot be edited.

System properties are listed after the class properties. System properties are read-only and cannot be edited. Depending on your User Preference settings, the system properties can be collapsed (hidden). Click Show System Properties or Hide System Properties to toggle displaying the system properties.

NOTE  Documents that reside in an Image Services library can  have unexpected property values. The Content Size of the document can be 0 KB and the Last Modifier property can indicate the source of the data, such as CFS-IS Import Service.

To manage properties

  1. Review the displayed properties. The Red Asterisk or the "Required" icon identifies the required properties.
  2. Make modifications to specific properties and their values where needed.
  3. Save your changes.
  4. Click another view to continue reviewing or modifying views associated with the selected object.

    NOTE  Anytime you modify values in a specific view, for example, Security, and fail to save your changes, a modified icon appears next to the view name in the left of the page. If you exit the Information page without returning to each marked view to save your changes, your modifications will be lost.
