Classes

A document class is an object type that combines several properties (see Property Definitions). Classes are designed to help categorize objects, to improve consistency as well as to speed up the process of filling in the object metadata.

You can create new classes and specify properties for each class via M-Files Admin. When the class is selected in M-Files Desktop, the properties that the system administrator has specified for the class will appear on the metadata card. M-Files users provide the properties with values when creating the new object.
