Record Card Attributes

Record card attributes - is a set of fields of different data types, with information on the document registration in the current records classification scheme – registration number, registration office, category and so on.

Record card type attributes are displayed on the Attributes tab of the record card type page (fig. 1).

The table with attributes on this tab is similar to the table on the Context tab of a process page, only without the Input and Output checkboxes.

The attributes differ by color:

Green is for default attributes created in the system – UIDs that define the record card in the system. They cannot be edited or deleted;
Blue is for attributes inherited from the record card base type. They can be deleted or edited only on the base type page and only if it is a user type;
Black is for attributes that were added when creating or editing the record card type. They can be deleted or edited if needed.

In ELMA you can:
