Define custom metadata for documents

You can define custom metadata for documents saved in ARIS document storage. You can define attributes of type String or Value. If you define an attribute of type Value, you need to specify the allowed value range. For example, this user-defined metadata could be the color (green, blue, yellow) or the company size (small, medium, large). This metadata can be used to classify documents and is displayed in the properties of a document.
