I'm working my way through the documentation, but I'm a little overwhelmed by how many ways there are to go about it and wondering if anyone can recommend some reading material more geared toward one approach.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:03:42 GMT dsmith 2015-03-31T19:03:42Z Edit-metadata within document-details https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/edit-metadata-within-document-details/m-p/305708#M258838 Alfresco version: 5.0.c CommunityI have some custom content types that need to be indexed by hand via metadata.&nbsp;
