All application content can be tagged with both built-in and custom properties. Properties are useful in specifying metadata about content. For example, the Transaction Code property is needed in the SAP environment to enable the context-sensitive help link from SAP to uPerform content. Properties are also used for creating dynamic website folders. For more information on Dynamic Website Folders, refer to Working With the Website in the companion manual Managing Content.
Several built-in property fields are delivered with the default template. You can enable and customize display of these properties to your authors by creating a new author template. Custom properties may include such items as business owner or a documentation reference number. For detailed information on creating a new template, refer to Using Author Templates in the companion manual Managing Content.
