'''document_fields.pl''' defines all the optional fields which an Document object has. These fields all have mappings to the database. There are a variety of field types which you can see here [[:Category:EPrints_Metadata_Fields|here]]. 

Note removing fields from document_field.pl does not usually cause data to be deleted from the database. To add or remove fields from eprint_fields.pl you must run:
 EPRINTS_PATH/bin/epadmin update_database_structure ARCHIVEID
and then reload your configuration (or restart the webserver).

==Field Definition==
The field list is represented by an arrayref of hashrefs. Each hashref has at minimum a <code>name</code>, which is the field name used when referring to the field (e.g. in search) and a <code>type</code>, which describes the type of data the field will hold. Depending on a field's type there may also be other compulsory fields and some optional ones. [[:Category:EPrints_Metadata_Fields |See the details of field definition on the page for that <code>type</code>.]]
