Creating a list of object store properties and document classes

You can reuse existing Content Platform Engine properties and document classes in your case management solutions. You can create text files that provide the information from a target object store that you need for reusing existing properties and document classes.

About this task

You can use the Case configuration tool to create two comma-separated value text files, PropertyTemplates.csv and DocumentTypes.csv.

The PropertyTemplates.csv file contains the following values for the properties in the object store:
  • Property Template Display Name
  • Symbolic Name
  • Data Type
  • Description
  • Cardinality (single value or multi-value choice list)
  • Default Value
  • Min Value
  • Max Value
  • Max Length
  • Choice List
  • Required
  • Hidden
The DocumentTypes.csv file contains the following values for the document classes in the object store:
  • Display Name
  • Symbolic Name
  • Descriptive Text
  • Is Hidden
  • Is Persistent
  • Properties (symbolic names of properties associated with this document class)

Creating a list of object store properties and document classes applies only in the development environment.
