Property - Attribute Map

Properties provide information about, as well as a way to search for, documents and objects in your portal. For example, you might want to create an Author property so users can find all the documents or objects created by a particular user. To learn more, see About Properties.

To specify the global property mappings, perform any of the following actions:

• To add a property mapping, click Add Property; then, in the Add Property dialog box, select the properties you want to add and click OK.

• To the right of the property, you can see the source document attributes that are associated with that property. To change the associated attributes, click the property name and, in the text box, type the associated attributes, separated by commas (,). The first attribute with a value populates the property.

• To delete a mapping, select the mapping and click .
  
  Note: Some property mappings are set when the portal is installed so that content crawlers can produce some general metadata even if you do not create any specialized mappings.

• To select or clear all of the mapping check boxes, select or clear the box to the left of Property Name.

• To toggle the order in which the properties are sorted, click Property Name or click the icon to the right of that— (sort ascending, a-z) or (sort descending, z-a).

• To display the page associated with this help topic:

1. Click Administration.
2. In the Select Utility drop-down list, click Global Document Property Map.
