Apply Custom Extensions To a Document Type
Custom user interface extensions can be applied to document types. These extensions may act upon custom properties used by the document type or act upon the documents’ content. Any property pages included in the extension will appear in Configurator as property pages in the Pages branch of the configuration tree.
The extensions that you want to apply must already be registered in the vault configuration. For more information on registering extensions, see Register Custom Interface Extensions.
To configure the Extensions page options:
- In Configurator, expand Document Types in the configuration tree to display the existing document types.
- Select the document type that you want to configure. The document type’s property pages appear in the right pane.
- On the Extensions page, click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
- Click the OK button to save your changes.
