Selecting Values for a Custom Property
You can select a property value from a list for a custom property rather than typing it in. You can
select this value from a column in the Research Panel.Your system administrator needs to first
create a custom property in Interplay Administrator and then import an XML file containing the
values into Interplay Administrator. For more information, see “Adding a Custom Property” in
the Avid Interplay Engine and Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide.
For example, you might want to specify the status of a particular asset. The XML file might
contain status values such as Opened, Approved, and so on. In the Research panel, you can click
the Status column cell for an asset and select a value rather than typing it in each time.
To select a value for a custom property in the Research panel:
1. Make sure your Administrator has set up the custom property and imported the list of values.
2. Right-click a column heading and select Select Working Set of Columns.
The Select Working Set of Columns dialog box opens. The dialog box displays three
sections of properties as defined in the Interplay Administrator, separated by dotted lines:
System, Custom, and Resolutions.
