Editing a property page

To edit a property page:

Select the property page in the configuration tree and click the Edit button to modify its property pages.
To change the appearance of the various page elements:
- Click the Styles tab, enable Override global style settings, and modify the page elements to meet your needs.
Note Unless specifically overridden, the appearance of all page elements is controlled by the settings on the Page Styles page of Vault Settings for Environment.
To change the conditions under which the current property page or wizard page (but not command page) is visible:
- Click the Visibility tab and then click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
To associate a page with a document type:
1. Click the Applies To tab and click the Apply to document type button. The Select Document Type dialog box appears.
2. Select a document type to use the new page and click OK. The Layout Properties dialog box appears.
3. Assign the page as a property page or wizard page, as described in Applying property pages to a document type.
When you are finished configuring the property page, click the OK button to save your changes. If the page has not yet been assigned to a document type or folder type, you will be prompted to assign it at this time. You can click No and assign the page later.

Note When you have made changes to a property page, users must reopen the vault in the client application to see the new changes. Meridian Web Client users must start a new session to see the changes.

Property page visibility options
Option	Description
Page is in edit mode	Hides the page when the user has clicked the Edit button to edit any of the property pages for the selected object.
Page not in edit mode	Hides the page unless the user has clicked the Edit button to edit any of the property pages for the selected object.
Document state is Released	Hides the page when the selected document is in the Released state of a workflow.
Document state is not Released	Hides the page unless the selected document is not in the Released state of a workflow.
Document state is	Select a workflow state during which the page will be hidden.
Document state is not	Select a workflow state during which the page will not be hidden.
Document is not assigned to the current user	Hides the page unless the selected document is assigned to the current user for change.
This expression is True	Click the Meridian Script Editor button to build a VBScript expression that will be evaluated to determine when the page is hidden. For information on using VBScript for configuration expressions including their limitations, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise VBScript API Reference. Note Beginning with Meridian Enterprise 2017, the PowerUser client and the Meridian Web Client calculate wizard page visibility the same way by default. That is, the visibility of each page is determined by the property values that have been set in previously shown wizard pages. This was not the case prior to Meridian Enterprise 2017. If your vault is configured to rely on the old behavior, set the CalculateVisibilityPerPage setting to 0 on the Application Link Settings page in the Environment branch of the configuration tree in Configurator. Then the visibility of all pages in the Meridian Web Client will be determined before the wizard begins. Tip To hide a property page from users accessing the vault with the Meridian Web Client, use the expression Client.Type = "HTML".
