Every file has the following built-in file fields, independently of its type. No additional file fields can be defined, however, you may define any number of version fields.
| File field | Value |
|---|---|
| ID ( id) |
The ID of the file is assigned by the Content Manager when the file is created. It is unique and never changes. IDs are not reassigned when they are no longer needed. |
Is Content Service File (isContent-) |
This field specifies whether the file originates from a Content Service. In this case it cannot be modified. Content Service files serve to synchronize content and layout in multiple CMS instances. |
| Last Content Service ( lastContent-) |
The date on which the file was last updated or created by a Content Service. |
| Name ( name) |
The file’s name. You can rename the file if you are a CMS administrator or the file administrator. |
| Path ( path) |
The path of a file defines its position in the folder hierarchy. It is displayed in the CMS Navigator below the toolbar. It cannot be edited. It changes when the file is moved. |
| File type ( objType) |
The type of a file determines its purpose. The file type is set when a file is created and cannot be changed subsequently. |
| File format ( objClass) |
The format on which a file is based defines most properties of the file and its versions, for example the file type and the additional fields. The format of a file can be changed only by the file’s administrator or by a CMS administrator. |
| Revision (version) |
The revision number is increased by one on each release. |
| Workflow ( workflow) |
A file’s workflow determines the editing and signing steps it has to go through for its release. The workflow of a file can be changed only by the file’s administrator or by a CMS administrator. |
| Ignore on export ( suppressExport) |
The value of this file field determines whether the file is exported or not. It can be modified only by the file’s administrator or by a CMS administrator. Even if a file is not exported the file and version fields it contains can be read out when other files are exported. |
The complete list of file fields can be found in the Tcl reference manual.
