Hi. I've been reading the Administrator's Guide to learn more about Custom Attributes, and am a bit confused. My understanding is that I can use this feature to create a custom metadata field, yet when I do so it doesn't seem to appear on the document's info screen. Am I misunderstanding the purpose or use of this feature?

There is a possibility to restrict it to a particular kind of entry, but if you did not use this feature (i.e. the field 'Applies To') then it should show up. In the details screen it becomes part of the first list on screen with all the properties. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
