Custom Properties

Available when your administrator has enabled custom properties.

Project leaders can define project-wide properties that exist for all documents in a project. Additionally, a project-wide property can be designated as required for publishing to the Knowledge Directory. Users will be asked to specify a value for required properties before publishing a document. Oracle WebCenter Collaboration content crawlers will not import documents with required properties that have no value.

For more information on custom properties, see About Custom Properties.

To define a project-wide property:

1. Click Add Property.

2. Select a property from the drop-down list under Name.

3. Type a default value for the property under Default Value.

4. Select Required for Publish if this property must have a value for a document to be published to the Knowledge Directory.

To remove a custom property from the list of project-wide properties:

1. Select the property.

2. Click Remove. The property will be removed from existing documents if the property still has its default value. If the property does not have its default value, the property will not be automatically removed but users can choose to remove the property from their documents.
