Document Attribute data type

If the ECM+ application is activated, then the Document Attribute data type will be available in the data types tree (fig. 1). This data type allows creating an attribute, which will store values of the selected document attribute.

Use case of the Document Attribute data type

Create an attribute of the Document Attribute data type for the Contracts record card. It will store information on the contract type (fig. 3).

To learn more about creating record card type attributes, see the respective Help page.
We recommend, that you uncheck the Show boxes for the creation and editing forms on the Advanced tab of the record card attribute page (fig. 4). Thus, when registering or editing the record card, this attribute will not be displayed, since its value is created when registering the document.
