Info Object Attributes 

Definition

Info object attributes (IO attributes) describe properties of instances of physical info objects. IO attributes can be, for example, language, format, or author. They can also be assigned to entities.

Use

When defining the instance attributes of IO classes, you can use both the standard attributes that are predefined in the Knowledge Provider, and all other attributes defined in the various document areas. Of course you can also create and use your own attributes.

The type of an attribute is defined by referencing a table or structure field of the ABAP Dictionary. The table name must be entered in the standard property TABLE_NAME and the referenced field name in the standard property FIELD_NAME. Once the valid values have been entered, the pushbutton  (Start ABAP Dictionary) navigates directly to the referenced data element.

 

The following pre-defined attributes are available in the Knowledge Provider:
