Property template properties (More tab - Object)
The More tab on the properties page for property templates defined as
data type object is described below.
- Value Required
- Assign this attribute to properties which must have a value. The user cannot leave a property with this attribute blank or an error results when the property is saved.
- Persistence
- Set the persistence for the single-valued property by selecting one of two
choices:
- Transient - Property values are visible to Event Actions but otherwise
discarded.
- System Table - Property values of an object data type are stored in the
system-defined table, ListOfObject, in the object store database. The default
is persistent in the System Table.
- Once you set the persistence, you cannot change it.
- Hidden
- Assign this attribute to property templates that are used by the system,
but not by the end user. This attribute provides a hint to the application
not to display the property. If the application does provide the user with
access to a property defined as hidden, the user can do anything with the
property that they could do with a non-hidden property.
-
Allows Foreign Object
- This attribute indicates whether or not the object-valued property supports
cross-object store references. When
selected, it means that an object belonging to another object store within
the FileNet P8 domain and to which the user has access can be set as the value
for the property.
- Security Proxy Type
- Indicates whether the security on this property is inherited or not.
- Settability
- Read only - Users cannot enter a value for properties with this attribute.
Use this attribute for properties that currently have a default value, but
might have different values in the future, or for properties that have a constant
value within all instances of the class.
- Read/Write - Users can view and change values.
- Settable only before checkin - The value can be set only before the object
is checked in.
- Settable only on create - If True, the user cannot change the value once
it has been saved in the database. An example of a property that could be
Settable Only When Created is Entry Date. Once you set a value for this attribute,
you cannot change it.
- Category
- Use this optional string property to group related properties together for sorting purposes. For example, you could enter the name of the AddOn XML file that was used to import the property into the object store. When displaying property templates in Enterprise Manager's Property Templates node or when displaying the results of an Enterprise Manager search for property templates, you can sort properties based on the value of this property.
