Make a Document ready for Redlining

The redlining feature creates a copy of the document and opens it for editing with any installed 3rd party application. Enabling redlining for certain document objects requires that the following criteria are met:

1. A file document MetaClass is prepared for Redlining
2. File documents can be created as child objects of other file documents
3. View items for the redlined file document exist
4. Context scopes for the redlined file document exist

In detail

1. Set the SYSCLS REDLINEDFILE classification on a MetaClass for file documents using the CD control (the MetaClass must derive from FILEDOCUMENT)
2. Create a new relation between the MetaClasse of the original file document ant the redlined file document

1. Navigate to the MetaClass SYSCLS EDITABLEDOCUMENT in the Class Browser
   
2. Open a RelationEditor for the created Document class, put the SYSCLS_EDITABLEDOCUMENT via dragging and dropping in the Relation Editor and navigate to the Classification
   
3. Now all Instances of the created MetaClass can be set either editable or not by checking "EDIT_FILE_ALLOWED".
   
4. To make the Document available, see the instructions on creating and editing Views.
