Creating a document workflow interlock property filter

A document workflow interlock property filter restricts the specific property values that documents contained in a project folder made from this project definition must have for this interlock to apply.

To create a document workflow interlock property filter:

  1. Select the project definition in the left pane of Meridian Enterprise Configurator.
  2. Click the Edit button to enable modification of the project definition.
  3. Click the Interlocks tab in the right pane. The list of interlocks applied to the current project definition appears in the right pane.
  4. Select the interlock you want to edit and click the Edit button. The Properties dialog of the interlock appears.
  5. Click the Property Filters tab. The list of current property filters appears as shown in the following figure.

  6. Enable the check boxes for your desired options and use the Add, Remove, and Remove All buttons to configure the Property Filters tab from the descriptions in the following table.

    Tip    
    • Double-click any cell to create a new property filter using the default conditions.
    • You will also find the Remove and Remove All commands on the context menu by right-clicking an interlock condition.

    Note    Clearing the checkbox next to a filter’s Name is equivalent to clicking the Remove button. The condition will be removed when the OK button is clicked.
