As a library administrator, you can customize the look and structure of the documents in your library. This is done at the document class level.
The document display settings define how the Properties panel is displayed in documents.
This article explains how to:
 Access the document display settings |
| Define the orientation of the page |
| Select sections to display for the current and previous versions |
| Select relations to display and define their order |
Example of a Properties panel in a library:
Access the document display settings
1. Open the library administration interface.
2. Select the class you want to configure under Document classes.
3. Select the Document view configuration tab.
Define the orientation of the page
Documents can have one of the following orientations:
- Portrait: the width of the document is set to 850 pixels maximum
- Landscape: the width of of document is adapted to the browser page
Select sections to display for the current and previous versions
For both the current version and previous versions of documents, you can configure which sections of a document to display.
Tips: For some business cases, the previous versions should display fewer sections than the current version, as they can be considered as inactive. For example, workflows or relations can become irrelevant for previous versions.
By default, the sections are displayed in this order:
- Info: displays general information such as the name of the library, the document class, who created the document and when, and who made the last update and when
- Workflow: shows the current workflow state
- Properties: lists the custom properties defined in the document
- Attachments: lists the document's attachments
Note: The Attachments section is available only for Document Management libraries.
- Relations: lists the related documents of the current document
- Description: displays the description of the document
