Configure the Application Integration Properties Pane

Meridian Application Integration displays a small subset of properties for the selected document (Name, Revision Date, Revision, Size, Status) in its properties (upper-right) pane. The properties shown in this pane can be configured to show the properties that are most important to your organization.

To configure the properties pane:

1. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings.

   The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.

2. Click Application Integration.

   The Application Integration settings page appears in the right pane.

3. Click Edit.

4. Locate the line that contains [AdditionalProperties].

   This section of the configuration defines the properties that are shown after the base properties in the properties pane.

   Note:

   Do not modify the [BaseProperties] section.

5. On a blank line in the [AdditionalProperties]section, type the property set and property name of each additional property to display in the properties pane in the format:

   <PropertySet>.<PropertyName>=[<Label>][,<Flags>]

   The <Label> parameter is an optional label to display instead of the property's DisplayName value. If the parameter is omitted, the property name will be used. Because the space in the properties pane is small, we recommend you use a short label.

   The <Flags> parameter is an optional flag that controls display of the property, as described in the following table.

6. Click OK.

Application Integration property flags

Flag	Description
_FILESIZE	Use with file size properties to format the value as a string.
_ALTNAME	The property will be shown in navigation views instead of the document's Name property. It can also be used in the other views configured on the Vault Settings branch of the configuration tree. This can be useful if the file names of documents are heavily codified, making them impractical for normal use. To display the property in views, also add the property to the views' column configuration, as described in Create And Edit Navigation Views and Configure Column Layouts.
