Document Properties

You can set or change the name and the summary description of a file.

Click Finish after you are done configuring the following:

Setting	Description
Name	Type no more than 100 characters to name the file.
Author	Type the name of the author of the file.
File Type	From the drop-down list, select the type of the file. Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel file types can be edited directly without going through the check-in and check-out procedure.
Summary	Optional. Type no more than 1,000 characters to describe the file. Include useful keywords to make your file easier to find when users are searching for it.
Make available as an Office Document Template	Choose one of the project's Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents to make it available for use as a document template for the project. The document that you choose appears in the Template drop-down list of the Office Document Editor. When a user chooses a template, Collaboration creates an exact copy of the template. By default, this check box is disabled. You can identify that a file is a template when the icon for the file has a yellow dot in the lower left hand corner.
Content Type	Do not change the content type unless you encounter download problems and need to override the content type automatically selected by Collaboration. The content type of a file based on the MIME encoding system, which is the standard for identifying the application or plug-in that should be used with the downloaded file. It identifies the file to the Web browser so it is displayed properly.
Suggest a content type	Click to use the default content type for the file. Collaboration automatically inserts the most appropriate content type, so you only need to click this link if you changed the entry.

To configure who can access this document, click the Security tab.
