Adding Documents

Use the Document Builder – Add New Document page (IB_MSGSEARCH_ADD) to add a new document to the database. To access the page, select PeopleTools, and then Documents, and then Document Builder. The Document – Search page appears. Click the Add a New Value link.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Add New Document page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

After you complete naming the document, you must click the Add button and add at least one child element to the document before you can save it in the database.

To add a document definition:

  1. Access the Add New Document page (PeopleTools, and then Documents, and then Document Builder and click the Add a New Value link).

    The Add New Document page appears.

  2. In the Package field, enter a package name.

  3. In the Document field, enter a document name.

    Note that the value you enter in this field becomes the root element name for the document.

  4. In the Version field, enter a document version.

  5. Click the Add button.

The document definition appears in the Document Builder - Document page.

This example shows the Document Builder – Document page for a new document definition called Inventory.

When you create a new document, the root element appears in the document tree. However, the definition is not yet saved in the database. You must add at least one child element to the document before you can save it in the database.
