Understanding property pages

The property pages pane contains property pages (see the following figure) that display a thumbnail image and the basic properties of the currently selected item: document, folder, work area, or the root of the vault. Each of these items has at least one property page but may have more depending on the configuration and customization of the item. Empty or partially empty property pages may display during the creation of new documents, work areas, or folders for you to type required and optional values. The properties shown on a property page may be system properties (Status, Size, and so on) or custom properties configured by a system administrator. The following figure shows a typical Document property page, which is present for all document types regardless of any other configuration that has been performed. Property pages can show a variety of icons, links, and other features.

The following table describes the unique features of the Properties pane.
