Public Properties

  Name Description
Public property ChoiceIntegerValue The value of a Choice object that holds an integer data type in a choice list.
Public property ChoiceStringValue The value of a Choice object that holds a string data type in a choice list.
Public property ChoiceType Specifies a ChoiceType constant that determines the type of data that a Choice object represents: an integer-type choice item, a string-type choice item, a group node for a nested collection of integer-type Choice objects, or a group node for a nested collection of string-type Choice objects.
Public property ChoiceValues A ChoiceList object representing a set of allowable values. If it is associated with a property, ChoiceValues provides a discrete set of possible values that the property can hold. Otherwise, if a ChoiceValues is associated with a Choice object, it defines the set of possible values in a choice list group.
Public property DisplayName The user-readable, provider-specific name of an object. This property is usually the designated Name property of the object's class.
Public property DisplayNames Specifies a LocalizedStringList object containing a collection of LocalizedString objects, each of which represents a locale-specific, user-readable display name for a class definition, property template, or choice.
Public property Id A representation of the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), a unique 128-bit number, that is assigned to this Content Engine object when the object is created. When converted to a string, the Id property is typically depicted as 32 hexadecimal characters enclosed by brackets in the following format: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For example, {3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.

For IUser and IGroup classes, the Id property takes the value of the Security Identifier (SID) rather than the 128-bit GUID. The string representation of the SID is in this example format: S-1-5-21-1559522492-2815155736-3711640725-55269. When Active Directory is used as the directory service for IBM FileNet P8, IUser.Id and IGroup.Id always return the current SID for the principal, even if this user or group has only historical SIDs populating the Active Directory server.

For a given property representation, the Id property has the following characteristics:

  • PropertyDescription.Id is equal to PropertyTemplate.Id, which is equal to PropertyDefinition.PrimaryId.
  • PropertyDefinition.Id is not equal to PropertyDefinition.PrimaryId.
  • PropertyDefinition.Id is not equal to PropertyDescription.Id.

For a newly created document object, you can override the Id property of its associated VersionSeries object before you save or check in the document for the first time.

Public property Name The name for this object.

For most classes, this property is read-only and returns the value of the designated name property for the object, or its ID if there is no name property. If ClassDescription.NamePropertyIndex has a value, this property contains the value of the designated name property. If there is no designated name property value, and the object has an Id property, this property contains the string value of the Id property. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, this property contains an empty string.

For a ComponentRelationship object, this property is read/write and specifies the name of the object.
