How to add index fields to document classes
UpdatedSeptember 26, 2024
Index fields are data attributes or labels that you can assign to your documents or workspaces. For example, you can create index fields for a part number, cost, or supplier name. Index fields can be assigned to document classes so you can organize and search for data attached to a document category. Administrator access is required to add index fields to document classes.
- Open Vistapoint Configuration under Start > Configuration.
- Click on Document Classes.
- Double-click to open the document class you wish to edit.
