doctype Table (Document Library)

Create Document Type names to assign to documents in the library. The ab-doc-def-cat-type.axvw view manages this table, so an integrator should not modify these records directly. This is the child table for the Document Categories table . This two-tiered classification of documents is optional. You may wish to use and expose only Document Categories.

doc_cat Required – Primary key. This is the name of the document type’s parent document category. It is a foreign key to the doccat table.
doc_type Required – Primary key. This is the 32-character name of the document type.
summary A short summary of the document type’s purpose. This string typically appears in tree views and select value windows.
description A long description for the document type. You can use this to describe the document type’s purpose in detail, which documents should be assigned to the document type, when/why it was created, who created it, etc.
