DOC4000 allows you to create sets of custom properties that can extend existing objects. You can also create new object types with these custom properties. You can then populate these properties either by importing the values from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or by creating a template for a viewer that allows you to specify the values. For more information, see Importing Custom Property Values from a Microsoft Excel File.

The Custom Properties link in the Admin Utility opens the Configure Custom Properties window. This window provides options to add new properties, select an appropriate editing control such as a text box or check box for each property, group the properties, create a template for a viewer with a set of property groups, and then attach the template to an existing or new object type. Alternatively, you can use the Asset Model Development Kit (AMDK) to configure custom properties. For more information, see the AMDK Help in the DataCollector folder for your DOC4000 installation.

After you complete the configuration, the template is displayed as a new tab when users view the details of an object of that type. This new tab allows users to edit the values for the properties on that tab. These properties can then be searched or queried, and the changes can be tracked as other data elements are within DOC4000.

To use custom properties, perform the following tasks:

  1. Create the custom properties you need. For more information, see Creating a Custom Property.

  2. Create groups of the custom properties you created. For more information, see Creating a Custom Property Group.

  3. Create a viewer template for each set of custom properties you want to associate with an object type. For more information, see Creating a Custom Property Template.

  4. Specify the values for the custom properties as needed. You can display the new viewer tab for an object and set the values on that tab. If you want to set the property values for many objects, you can import them from a Microsoft Excel file. For more information, see Importing Custom Property Values from a Microsoft Excel File.
