Overview of documents

You can add any file to an IS or CS library. When you add a document, you associate the document with information you can use later for retrieval. In addition to the information you enter, the library supplies information such as the document ID and the entry date. A library document has both content and properties:

When you add a document to a library, you associate it with a document class. The document class determines which properties apply to the document.

To retrieve a document, you can use the Browse page to locate the document in the folder tree. Alternatively, you can search for a property value or search for the content of an indexed CS document.

Except for a few permanent property values such as the document ID, you can modify a document's properties, including its security settings, if your security settings allow it. You can modify the document class of a CS document, but an IS document's class can never change. You can also bookmark a document, email the URL for a document or get the URL for a document.
