Create custom properties for resources
You can create custom properties for resource objects so that users can enter additional information about them. Custom properties index the content to make searches easier.
Custom properties for resources that are not directly managed by the IXIA CCMS, such as videos or legacy documentation, can prove useful. For example, you could create a custom property called ISBN to store the document number for legacy documentation. You could also create a property to indicate whether a resource should be included in builds when documentation is built every night.
Important: Make configuration changes in a test
environment and confirm they work before copying them to a production
environment.
When users add values to the custom properties of a resource, the
information is written into the Indexed Content file of the resource as metadata.
<metadata class="- topic/metadata ">
<othermeta class="- topic/othermeta " content="false" name="user:build"/>
<othermeta class="- topic/othermeta " content=" 1-23456-789-0" name="user:ISBN"/>
</metadata>
