Property definitions are used to determine properties associated with classes. A property definition is used to define the property name (which should be descriptive) and data type, which determines the type of the data entered (in relation to the property).
Various properties can be combined to create classes; refer to Classes. For example, Contract of Employment is a document class with the associated properties Title, Document Date, Employee, Keywords and Description.
The property definitions are used for determining the metadata on the metadata card. The properties that are associated with the document class are displayed on the metadata card after class selection.
