Purpose

A property provides a name and characteristics for data in an object. Because a property definition is a rule, it shares the benefits of versioning, inheritance, and access control that PRPC provides to all rules.

A property has one of eleven modes, arranged in three groups. The General tab layout depends on the mode and the Table Type field. See:

Your system includes hundreds of standard properties useful to your application. Review the relevant existing properties before creating new properties. Consult documentation and use PRPC facilities to look for the ones you need.

Tip For a Single Value property, choose the wording of the Description with care. This helps you and others select the right property when using the Application Explorer, entering expressions, and elsewhere.

Access

Use the Application Explorer to access the properties that apply to the work types in your application. Use the Class Explorer to list all properties available to you by Applies To class.
