Field Definition

The Field Definition tab is where you define the search fields for the folder.

The search fields contain the search criteria that are entered by the user. For most folders, you probably want to define a search field for each field that you defined for the application group.

In the word-processing example, you might define the following folder fields on the Field Definition tab of the Administrator client. The fields allow users to locate documents based on different criteria. The fields define information like the date of the document, the name of the author of the document, and a description of the subject of the document.
Document Date
The date that is associated with the document. For example, the date the file was created or the date the file was published.
Author
The person who wrote the document.
Subject
The subject of the document.
