In the Meridian client applications, the detail pane contains property pages (as shown in the following figure) that show the basic properties of the currently selected item: document, folder, or asset tag stored in the vault. Each of these items has at least one property page but may have more depending on the configuration of the item. Empty or partially empty property pages may display during the creation of new documents or folders for you to type required and optional values. The properties shown on a property page may be system properties (Status, Size, and so on) or custom properties configured by a system administrator. Property pages can show a variety of icons, links, and other features.
Meridian Enterprise provides the following standard property pages. Not all may be available in your system.
-
Document – the default page for documents that shows basic system properties and a thumbnail image of the document
-
Rendition – shows property values that determine how the system generates renditions from the source document
-
Retention – shows document retention properties that your organization can use to enforce its retention policies. Meridian does not enforce document retention with these properties by default.
-
Tags – shows the asset tags (stored in the Tags branch of the vault) that are linked to this document
-
Title Blocks – shows the values of title block properties when multiple sheets exist in a drawing
-
Folder – the default property page for every folder in the Folders view
