Adding fields to Intranet's Document Page
Hey,

On the Document management part of the Intranet page when you're able to upload a file and it's displayed in a table (with document name, modified and workflow step) - I'd like to add an additional field to this table. Is this easy to do? I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Regards

Paul

Hello,

Yes, you only need to change the XML definition of that table in the following file:

CMSModules\DocumentLibrary\Controls\DocumentLibrary.xml

You may have to change also some code depending on the fields you want to add.

Best regards,

Great - many thanks! One last question, if I'd like to add a new field to the document (eg. Department Name) that the person would enter once uploaded, where would I do that (if possible)?

Hello,

You can add custom fields to any document type in SiteManager / Development / Document types / <select one to modify> / Fields / New attribute.

This doesn't appear to be true with folders? (cms.Folders) when going to SiteManager / Development / Document types / edit Folder

I can not see the "Fields" tab like you can for page cms.menuItem, Article cms.Article etc etc

Is there are way to add fields to Folders ?

Hello,

The CMS.Folder document type is not designed to allow new fields to be created for this document type. What are you trying to achieve?
