Configure global document properties

Perform this procedure to configure global document properties.

In the Configure Document Properties Utility, you can determine which print preferences/document properties are supported throughout Output Manager. You can also select the settings that are allowed for a particular property. These settings determine what is available to the user in the dialogs where properties are configured. When properties are disabled, those Document columns are also hidden in the Documents grids.

  1. In the Administration application, click Configure Document Properties Utility.
    The Configure Document Properties utility lists all of the document properties available in Output Manager grouped into the following categories:
    • Basic options
    • Media selection
    • Document
    • Image adjustments
    • Finishing
    • Other properties

    To expand a category and view the associated properties, click the down arrow next to a category name. To collapse a category, click the up arrow

  2. Determine the properties you want to be available for configuration throughout Output Manager.
    • Select the Allowed check box for any property you want to be available for configuration throughout Output Manager.
    • Clear the check box for any property that you do not want to be available.

    Properties that are configured by selecting from a list of options will display a drop-down arrow in the property cell. Click the cell containing the arrow to display a dialog listing the available options. You can select and clear the check boxes to determine the choices that will be available when those properties are configured.

    Here is an example of how to configure the Resolution property so users can only select a Resolution of 75, 100, or 150. First, expand the Basic options category by clicking the down arrow next to the category name. Next, select the check box next to the Resolution property. This will make the property available for configuration throughout Output Manager. Finally, under the Resolution property, select the check boxes next to the options you want to be available for selection. In this example, you would select the check boxes next to 75, 100, and 150. Clear the check boxes next to the remaining Resolution options.
  3. Repeat step 2 until all properties are configured.
  4. When all of the properties are configured, click Apply.
