Problem Description:

User goes to an unapproved, non change controlled document in ALIM Web and edit the document. But the document's Title field is not visible for edit. 

Cause:

The Data Type of the Title field in Layout Editor's Edit -> Properties screen is set incorrectly (e.g. eB:WideString). The Data Type should be xs:string.

Solution:

  1. Run Layout Editor
  2. Login as the ADMIN user
  3. Expand the Documents node
  4. Click Edit under the Documents node
  5. Click the Properties tab on the right
  6. Scroll down to the Title field
  7. Double click the Title field row
  8. Change the Data Type from the incorrect value (e.g. eB:WideString) to xs:string
  9. Save the change and exit Layout Editor
  10. In a browser, run/access https://<YourServer/YourWebsite/framework/purgecaches.aspx
  11. Make sure you see the "Cache successfully purged" message
