Edit a Property Page

Unless specifically overridden, the appearance of all page elements is controlled by the settings on the Page Styles page of Vault Settings for Environment.

When you have made changes to a property page, users must reopen the vault in the client application to see the new changes. PowerWeb users must start a new session to see the changes.

  1. Select the property page in the configuration tree.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. To change the appearance of the various page elements:

    1. Click the Styles tab.

    2. Enable Override global style settings.

    3. Modify the page elements to meet your needs.

  4. To change the conditions under which the current property page or wizard page (but not command page) is visible:

    1. Click the Visibility tab.

    2. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

  5. To associate a page with a document type:

    1. Click the Applies To tab and click the Apply to document type button.

      The Select Document Type dialog box appears.

    2. Select a document type to use the new page and click OK.

      The Layout Properties dialog box appears.

    3. Assign the page as a property page or wizard page, as described in Apply Property Pages To a Document Type.

  6. When you are finished configuring the property page, click the OK button to save your changes.

    If the page has not yet been assigned to a document type or folder type, you will be prompted to assign it at this time. You can click No and assign the page later.

This expression is True

Click the Meridian Script Editor button A small gray button that has a pen and paper on it. to build a VBScript expression that will be evaluated to determine when the page is hidden.  For information on using VBScript for configuration expressions including their limitations, see Configuration Expressions.

To hide a property page from users accessing the vault with PowerWeb, use the expression Client.Type = "HTML".

Note:

Beginning with Meridian Enterprise 2017, the PowerUser client and PowerWeb calculate wizard page visibility the same way by default. That is, the visibility of each page is determined by the property values that have been set in previously shown wizard pages. This was not the case prior to Meridian Enterprise 2017.

If your vault is configured to rely on the old behavior, set the CalculateVisibilityPerPage setting to 0 in the [Vault] section on the Application Integration tab of the Application Link Settings page in the Environment branch of the configuration tree in Configurator. Then the visibility of all pages in PowerWeb will be determined before the wizard begins.
