folderAdditionalProperties.config

By default, the Create Simple Folder and Edit Folder dialogs allow users to specify values for a default set of metadata fields. However, it is possible to add or remove fields from the Additional Metadata section in both dialogs by:

  1. Enabling the application setting display-additional-folder-properties.
  2. Editing the contents of folderAdditionalProperties.config in ...\Prosperoware.Milan\data.

The default configuration file defines the following fields:

<configuration>
	<DocProperties>
		<docProperty description="Description" enabled="True" name="imProfileDescription" type="Textbox"/>
		<docProperty description="Type" enabled="False" name="imProfileType" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Class" enabled="True" name="imProfileClass" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="SubClass" enabled="True" name="imProfileSubClass" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Client" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom1" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Matter" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom2" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Custom3" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom3" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Custom4" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom4" type="Combo"/>
		<docProperty description="Custom16" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom16" type="Textbox"/>
		<docProperty description="Custom21" enabled="True" name="imProfileCustom21" type="Combo"/>
	</DocProperties>
</configuration>

Each field to be displayed must defined in the configuration file's DocProperties element as a docProperty with the following attributes:

Attribute Description
name The WorkSite attribute ID of the metadata field to add to the form.
description A text label for the form field. To avoid confusing users, this should be set to the field's caption.
enabled A Boolean value (True or False) that specifies whether to display the field in the form.
type

The type of UI element to display in the form.

Value Description
Combo A drop-down menu from which users can select a value for the field.
Textbox A text input field into which users can enter any text.
