Configuring the Application Integration properties pane
Meridian Application Integration displays a small subset of properties for the selected document (Name, Revision Date, Revision, Size, Status) in its properties (upper right) pane. The properties shown in this pane can be configured to show the properties that are most important to your organization.
To configure the properties pane:
- In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings. The settings for each link appear in property pages in the right pane.
- Click the Application Integration tab. The Application Integration settings page appears in the right pane.
- Click the Edit button to modify the settings.
-
Locate the line that contains [AdditionalProperties]. This section of the configuration defines the properties that are shown after the base properties in the properties pane.
Note Do not modify the [BaseProperties] section.
-
On a blank line in the [AdditionalProperties]section, type the property set and property name of each additional property to display in the properties pane in the format:
<PropertySet>.<PropertyName>=[<Label>][,<Flags>]
The <Label> parameter is an optional label to display instead of the property’s DisplayName value. If the parameter is omitted, the property name will be used. Because the space in the properties pane is small, we recommend you use a short label.
The <Flags> parameter is an optional flag that controls display of the property, as described in the following table.
- Click OK to save your changes.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
|
_FILESIZE |
Use with file size properties to format the value as a string. |
|
_ALTNAME |
The property will be shown in navigation views instead of the document’s Name property. It can also be used in the other views configured on the Vault Settings branch of the configuration tree. This can be useful if the file names of documents are heavily codified, making them impractical for normal use. To display the property in views, also add the property to the views’ column configuration, as described in Creating and editing navigation views and Configuring column layouts. |
