Property template properties (More tab - Integer)
The More tab on the properties page for property templates defined as
data type integer is described below. Internally integers are stored as
32 bits.
- Name Property
- This attribute identifies the property that is the most important one in
the class. Only one property in a class can be the name property. The name
property is meant to be used by the application program as a title. For example,
to list the results of a query, the application could create a title comprised
of the name of the class and the name property. If the example class was called
Loans, the name property could be the Loan Number. You can set this only if
the property is a single value.
- 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 a 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 integer data type are stored in the
system-defined table, ListOfInteger, in the object store database. The default
is persistent in the System Table.
Set the persistence for a multi-valued property by selecting one of three
choices:
- Transient - Property values are visible to Event Actions but otherwise
discarded.
- System Table - Property values of a integer data type are stored in the
system-defined table, ListOfInteger, in the object store database. The default
is persistent in the System Table.
- Own Table - Property values are stored in their own indexable table in the
object store database, allowing you to create your own index(es) for
searching. The table name consists of “u_” followed by the SymbolicName of the
property.
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.
- 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 the value for this attribute is 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.
- Choice List
- The name of the choice list. Choose one from the
list.
- Minimum Value
- Use this attribute to limit the minimum value. The
default and lowest value allowed is -2,147,483,648. If you make a change
to this attribute, the change will propagate to all subclasses where the
current value is less than the new value or where a value is not set.
- Maximum Value
- Use this attribute to limit the maximum value. The
default and highest value allowed is 2,147,483,647. If you make a change
to this attribute, the change will propagate to all subclasses where the
current value is greater than the new value or a value is not set.
- Default Value
- Use this attribute if you want to provide the user
with a default value for the property. You cannot set this value if the
property is a multi-value.
