The process of creating a content model is intended to take the individual user’s requirements into account as much as possible. Therefore, when creating a content model, it is advisable that you create your own attributes, as well as using the attributes proposed by the system. Your attributes should enable you to manage and select your documents in the most efficient way possible.

When creating your own attributes, you first have to save them separately in an appropriate folder, before you can assign them to classes.

• Choose Transfer Data. The new attribute is now transferred to the attribute list.

To specify the new attribute as the instance attribute for documents in a specific class, proceed as follows:

• Decide which class contains the documents for which you want to use the attribute, and open the Entity Properties view of that class by double-clicking the name of the class.
• On the Instance Attribs tab page, either enter the name of the attribute, or open the Restrict Value Range dialog box and enter * as the IO attribute.

This list contains your newly created attribute.

• Click on the attribute to select it.
• Choose Execute to proceed.
