What are document type properties and how can I use it?

Tangelo is configured by setting up one or more document types. A document type contains settings for:

  • document and content structure; document input (templates, data source, interfaces);
  • available output channels (online, PDF, print);
  • collaboration.

Documents of this type are created, maintained and published based on these settings. The step-by-step guide below will walk you through the settings for document type properties.

 

Document type properties

Most of the document type properties are determined by configuration and fixed as a result. You can change the document type icon which is used on the start screen.

 

Privileges

If you have the authorization level of manager for a document type, you can assign the following document type privileges:

  • create: to create a document of this type; the user that creates a document of this type automatically obtains the manager privilege for this document
  • manager: to assign privileges for this document type

 

Default privileges

After document creation, one of the first tasks is to assign privileges to individual users and/or groups on document sections. Default authorization simplifies this task for privileges that are repeatedly assigned for each document of a certain type. The root section of every new document obtains the assigned default privileges.
