Applying property pages to a folder type

You can apply custom pages to folder types that prompt users for input when new folders are created (wizard pages) and that display custom properties (property pages) applied to the folder types. The properties used by a folder type can be inherited by the documents in the folders created from the folder type.

Before you begin

The custom pages that you want to apply to a folder type must already exist in the vault configuration. For more information on creating custom pages, see Creating a new property page.

To apply a custom page to a folder type:

  1. In Configurator, expand Folder Types in the configuration tree and select the folder type that you want to edit. Its property pages appear in the right pane.
  2. Click the Pages tab to display the current page assignments.
  3. Click the Edit button to modify the assignments.
  4. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
