• It cannot be "." or ".." or contain spaces.
• It cannot contain an underscore.
Select the property's type from the Property Type list.
This value is not modifiable. There is a limit to the number of each type you
can have. These are the default settings:
• Text (a maximum of 30).
• Numeric (a maximum of 5).
• Date (a maximum of 5). Dates are formatted as month/day/year, and
year can be two or four digits.
You can change the maximum settings for these in the webpub.conf file,
although larger sets of attributes impact the performance of your server. See
"Configuring Manually" on page 400 in Chapter 16, "Using Search," for
details on how to change the webpub.conf file.
Select one of the Permissions buttons.
Click either Read only or Modifiable. By default, this is set to Modifiable.
For modifiable custom properties defined as META-tagged attributes, the
value in the document is extracted only the first time the document is
indexed. Because users can input a different value in the attribute field
through the Web Publisher Services Properties page, the server ignores the
META-tagged value in subsequent indexing. In this way, the user's value is
not overwritten.
Click one of the Visible to User buttons, either Invisible or Visible.
By default, this is set to Visible. This defines whether server clients can view
the property through Web Publisher.
If the property you are adding is actually an HTML file attribute that has
been tagged with the HTML META tag, click HTML META.
From this point onward, when files containing this attribute are indexed,
the contents of the META attribute is used as the value of the property and
you can search for files that contain this META-tagged property. The
property must conform to the same conventions as property names.
