View And Edit Properties
For most purposes, you can view the properties of a document on the property pages that are described in Property Pages. If you have the appropriate privilege, you can also view the same properties plus advanced information and hidden properties.
Editing properties is important to keep the values accurate for effective searching. Without accurate metadata, searching for documents can result in finding the wrong documents or no documents at all.
PowerWeb is limited to sending a total of 24 KB of data when properties are edited. This limit can be exceeded if the document type includes a large number of text properties or one or more memo properties that contain a lot of data. When this occurs, you will be shown an Invalid arguments error and your changes in some properties may not be saved correctly. If this happens to you, contact a System Administrator for help.
To perform this task, you must be a member of a group that is assigned to the Contractor, Contributor, Document Controller, Project Owner, or Tenant Administrator role that is assigned to the parent folder.

One of the following is true:
-
The document type is Facility, Transmission, or some type derived from these document types, OR
