Viewing saved transformation properties

Transformation properties appear for an object when that object has been set to perform a transformation each time it is versioned. This option can be set when creating a new rendition or a new object through transformation. The transformation request is stored and related to the source document. When the source document is versioned, the transformation is automatically applied to the new version using the same parameters as the original transformation and the transformation request is sent to the appropriate server for processing.

The Transformation Properties page lists all the saved transformations that will be applied to a document when it is versioned. You can also use the Transformation Properties page to remove a saved transformation from an object and to apply a saved transformation without waiting for a new version of the object.

To view transformation properties:

  1. Navigate to an item with transformation properties.

  2. Select View > Properties > Transformation.

    The Properties page opens with the Transformation Properties tab selected. The saved transformations for the item are listed, detailing the name and description of the transformation profile used, the output format, and whether the output is a rendition or related object.

  3. Click the transformation link in the Name column to display the parameters of the transformation. These parameters can be used to distinguish between different transformations saved for the object, that use the same transformation profile.
