Document properties

Document properties provide information related to the document that is not part of the document. For example, default document properties include information such as who created the document. When entering a document into the library, an employee specifies values for the document properties.

Note On the Indexing page, the File document type has only the default properties.

All document types include the default document properties described in the following table.
