In addition to the Document Properties plugin that comes pre-installed with the Notes 12.0.1 client, panagenda also offers Document Properties Pro, an addon to the plugin that gives you even more features.
What's the Difference?
Document Properties Pro adds new features to the existing Document Properties plugin. It doesn't take anything away. Here is a comparison table of features:
| Feature | Document Properties | Document Properties Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Document Properties menu item | ✔ | ✔ |
| Profile Documents menu item | ✔ | ✔ |
| Compare Documents menu item | ✔ | ✔ |
| Compare later menu items | ✔ | ✔ |
| Resizeable dialogs | ✔ | ✔ |
| Multiple simultaneous dialogs | ✔ | ✔ |
| Sortable and searchable fields | ✔ | ✔ |
| Optional follow document selection | ✔ | ✔ |
| Copy/export fields to CSV | ✔ | ✔ |
| Copy document data to clipboard | ✔ | ✔ |
| Customize options with notes.ini | ✔ | ✔ |
| Create new document fields | ✔ | |
| Modify/delete document fields | ✔ | |
| Copy/paste fields between documents | ✔ | |
| Delete profile documents | disabled by default | ✔ |
Both the basic and the Pro plugin rely on standard Notes ACL access to prevent users from viewing or making changes to documents or databases unless they already have access to do so.
What Notes Clients Does This Work With?
Document Properties Pro is supported on Eclipse-based (standard) Notes clients on Windows or Mac, version 9.0.1 or higher.
How Do I Get It?
You can download Document Properties Pro from the panagenda Document Properties Plugin page on our website!
How Do I Install It?
The easiest way to install it is to drag-and-drop the DocPropInstaller.zip file directly onto the "My Widgets" sidebar panel of your Notes client.
This will display a dialog box asking if you would like to install Document Properties basic or Pro. Simply select the one you want and click OK. A restart of your Notes client will be required.
More detailed instructions are available at Installing the Document Properties Plugin.
NOTE: Document Properties Pro does not require the Document Properties (basic) plugin to be installed first. It will use its own version of the basic plugin if it's not already installed.
The DocPropInstaller.zip file contains a full Eclipse update site containing both the Document Properties basic and Pro plugins. If you would like to use an update site to deploy the plugins – either with a Widget Catalog or using MarvelClient – you can import the DocPropInstaller.zip files into an existing update site and deploy from there.
