Adding user defined properties

To edit user defined properties, there is the Properties page in the Properties View for the relationship or role object.

All user defined properties of a relationship or role are kept in a table on the Properties page. The name of the property is unique in the context of the object it belongs to. Therefore, it is possible to have a property called RelProperty in the relationship but also in the roles, but it is not possible to have two properties defined for the relationship having the name RelProperty. The table has three columns: Name, Type and Value. The Name column has the name of the Properties and cannot be edited. The Type column holds the types of the properties, and from here the type of the property can be modified. The Value column contains the default value for the property. It has to correspond to the given type.

To add a new user defined property, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Add button. The Add Property window opens.

  2. Enter a valid name for the property.

  3. Select a property type. As default, the type is set to xs:string.

  4. You can enter a value for the property. This step is optional.

Follow these steps to remove a property from the table:

  1. Select the property to be removed.

  2. Click Remove.
