You can even use the Custom tab to create your own custom properties for your documents. You can see what these properties are by choosing Properties from the File menu. The document information panel attributes contained in an XMLDocument in the content type definition on the document library are demoted into the document as the customXsn data store item.Word maintains a number of different properties related to your documents, as a whole. The content type ID is demoted into the document as a custom property in the Custom File Properties part of the file.Įach document property defined in the contentTypeSchema data store item of the customXml section in the document maps to a column definition, represented by a Field element, in the content type definition on the document library.įor each document property defined in the contentTypeSchema data store item, there is an element in the properties data store item that contains the actual document property value. The following figure shows the relationships between the information demoted into the document, and the content type definition that resides on the document library The data store item has the root element of customXsn. For more information on the schema of this XMLDocument element, see Content Type Document Information Panel Schema in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM).įor an Office document in the Open XML Formats, the contents of this XMLDocument element are demoted into the document as a data store item in the customXml section. These attributes are stored in the content type definition on the document library in an XMLDocument element. These attributes include the location of the Microsoft InfoPath 2010 form to use as the custom panel, whether the Office 2010 application should always display the panel when the document opens, and whether the application should use the default, autogenerated panel even if a custom panel is specified. Document Information Panel AttributesĬustom document information panels that are associated with SharePoint Foundation store certain attributes of that document information in the content type definition those attributes are demoted into the document itself.

For more information, see Document Information Panel and Document Properties in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM). The actual values for each document property are contained in the properties data store item in the customXml section. These document properties map to document library columns, represented by Field elements in the content type definition stored in the document library.įor example, the following content type schema includes two document properties, Property A and Property B, listed in the documentManagement node of the properties element, and defined in the schema. They are identified in the documentManagement node of the properties element in the schema. Because of this, when you work with the data store items, you should identify them by the root element or namespace instead of by part name.Ĭolumns included in the content type are represented as properties in the content type schema stored in the document. Each data store item in the customXml section is contained in a part named itemN.xml, with N being an arbitrary number.
