Hi Jeyaa,

Did you add the custom content type in content-wizards section within web-client-config-custom.xml . To Display the required  properties, use replace="true"  . Below is the small code snippet
How to add custom content type :
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards"
      replace="false">
      <content-types>
         <type name="kgk:contract" />
      </content-types>
   </config>

How to display properties in Alfresco explorer :

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="kgk:contract" replace="true">
      <property-sheet>
         <show-property name="author" display-label-id="author"
                        ignore-if-missing="false" show-in-edit-mode="false"/>
         <show-property name="description" display-label="Description" />
         <separator name="sep"/>
         <separator name="sep 1"
            display-label="Contract Information"
            component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
         <show-property name="kgk:contract_id" display-label="HCP ID"   />
         <separator name="sep 2"/>
         <show-association name="kgk:contractList" />
              </property-sheet>
</config>

When you are creating content with custom content type , select the check box  for Modify properties . You will be able to see your custom property also.
