Customizing properties for AFP files

You can use Document Property Designer to customize document and job properties for AFP files by linking the properties to index tags. Index tags are also called Tagged Logical Elements (TLEs). In addition, you can define link options for the properties and edit the index tag values.
If you want to manipulate documents or jobs using only the standard properties provided in all document processing features- for example, if you want to split a job based on the number of sheets in each document–you do not need to link custom document properties to index tags. However, in most cases you will have custom document or job properties that you want to use. For example, if you have a custom document property representing a postal code and you link it to its corresponding index tag, then you can sort, split, or group documents by their postal code.
