How to Enable Document Information Panel in SharePoint 2010
The SharePoint 2010 Document Information Panel allows users to enter metadata for Microsoft-based documents that are stored in SharePoint. However, the SharePoint 2010 Document Information Panel is not visible by default. To view the SharePoint 2010 Document Information Panel, click the "Show Document Panel" option under the Info menu.
During an implementation of Sharepoint 2010 for an Australian client, the client had a requirement for showing the Document Information Panel whenever a document is opened from a particular document library. IOTAP was able to meet this requirement by enabling the Document Information Panel in the Document Library settings.
