CS document properties on the Properties tab

This tab shows properties entered when the document was added to the library. Properties shown depend on the document class. If you have owner or higher access to the document, you can change these values.

Each document must be assigned a document class. Specific document properties are assigned to a document class by your system administrator. Document properties contain information about the document, such as its location in the library, versions, and status. Document properties can be single-value or multivalue. These properties determine the number of values you can assign to a document. Single-value properties only allow you to enter single text, integer or date and time values for a document. Multivalue properties are customized and allow you to enter more than one value for a document.

Some document properties may also have associated version properties. Document and version properties include the file name, checkin date, and name of the user who checked in that version. Document security allows you to set and maintain user and group access rights to a document.

You can modify properties assigned to original documents and replicated documents. If you modify an original document, you must check out and check in the original document from the original CS library to replicate your changes in other target libraries. If you do not check in your changes, they are never replicated.

For replicated documents, you can make changes to the version properties during the checkin process. You must check out and check in the replicated document to ensure your version property changes get replicated back to the source document and other replicas. If you do not check in your changes to the version properties, they are never replicated, and they will be overwritten when the original document is checked out and checked back in.

Note

Because document properties depend on the document class, the fields that you see on the Properties tab depend on the document class of the selected document.
