Configuring columns

SharePoint allows you to add property columns to your document libraries. These columns contain information about the files saved in the SharePoint server. Before scanning, the application prompts users to add property values to the scanned document.

1. Open a web browser, and then type the SharePoint URL.

2. Log in using an administrator account.

3. Select a document library, and then click the Library tab.

4. Click Create Column.

5. From the Create Column dialog box, configure the column.

   The application supports only the following column types:

   • Single line of text

   • Multiple lines of text

   • Choice

   • Number

   • Currency

   • Date and Time

   • Yes/No

   • Person or Group

   • Hyperlink or Picture

   Notes:

   • Column names created using Quick Edit may not match the column names in the file information shown by the application.
   • For the Number column type, selecting Show as percentage converts the value to a decimal in the application. For example, if the value in the SharePoint server is 50%, then the application shows the value in the file information as 0.50.

6. Click OK.
