Defining custom modification types

You can define custom modification types for a document type.

Creating a modification type allows you to classify certain attributes (including extended attributes) into one group. Later, when you define status modification groups, you can configure modification rules for the custom modification type. Modification rules determine modification permissions for the attributes. You can decide whether to allow, disallow, or ignore the custom modification type for a given status.

Note: When you create a new custom modification type for a certain document type, it is required that you create the same custom modification type for all the document types.

You can use the Order Modification Types branch for creating, modifying, and deleting a custom modification type. After you define a custom modification type, use the Status Modification Group Details window to configure modification rules for the custom modification type.
