In some cases, you may need to add custom data to all documents. In this case, you can use the NodeCustomData or DocumentCustomData (culture specific) fields in the CMS_Tree and CMS_Document database tables, respectively.

 

These fields are accessible through the following properties of the document (TreeNode):

 

•TreeNode.NodeCustomData

•TreeNode.DocumentCustomData

 

You can use these values in two ways:

 

1. You can use them as a single ntext block of text:

 

[C#]

 

 

 

2. You can use them as a collection of custom values that are stored as an XML document:

 

[C#]

 

 

If you would like to learn how to create a new document type or modify fields of an existing one, please refer to the Document types and transformations chapter in the Development section of this guide.
