Creating and editing detail page layouts

Detail page layouts appear in the details pane when a user selects a document or object tag to view its details. The detail pages that are shown are specific to each document or object tag type in the repository. A repository may have any number of detail page layouts.

You may create one of each of the following detail page types unless otherwise noted:

AutoVue Viewer Page: Shows the AutoVue Client/Server viewer page described in About AutoVue Client/Server.
Contents Page: Shows a list of the content data available for the selected document; native, rendition, redlines, or hybrid parts.
External Page: Shows a page from an external website

Project Copies Page: Shows a list of the project copies made of the selected document.
Property Page: Shows the properties of the selected document or object tag.
