Configure Document Properties utility

Use the Administration application Configure Document Properties utility to select 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.

For more information, see Configure global document properties.

Grid

The Document property column lists the print preferences/document properties that are available to Output Manager. They are grouped into the following categories: Basic options, Media selection, Document, Image adjustments, Finishing, and Other properties. To expand a category, click the down arrow next to a category name. To collapse a category, click the up arrow.

Under each category are the document properties that belong to that group. In each group, you can determine the properties that are supported throughout Output Manager. Select the check boxes in the Allowed column for properties you want to be available for configuration. Clear the check boxes for properties you do not want to be available.

If a property is configured by selecting from a list of options, those properties will display a drop-down arrow. Click the cell containing the arrow to display a dialog listing the available options. Select and clear the check boxes in the Allowed column 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 Allowed check box next to the Resolution property. This will make the property available for configuration throughout Output Manager. To configure the Resolution options, click the Resolution cell containing the drop-down arrow. In the dialog that displays, select the Allowed 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. Click OK.

Use the Visible in grid and Editable in grid columns to specify if the column will display in the grid and if it will be editable. Cells with a shaded background cannot be edited.

Use the Visible in rules and Editable in rules columns to specify if the column will be available and editable from the Alert Rules Manager and the Business Rules Manager. Cells with a shaded background cannot be edited.
