Class property definitions (General tab)

Use the General tab to view, modify, or access the properties and actions described below.

Name
The name assigned to the class property definition.
Description
The description assigned to the class property definition.
Data Type
The data type defines the kind of data the property template will contain. Supported data types are Binary, Boolean, Date/Time, Float, ID, Integer, Object, and String.
Cardinality
Cardinality defines whether the property value will be a single value or a list. This attribute cannot be changed. The allowed values are single value or multi-value.

Single value identifies a property that has only one value. An example of a single value property is Name if only one name, with multiple words, is allowed. Multi identifies a property that can have more than one value. For example, if the property is Borrowers and more than one borrower is listed, the property should be a List. The property Author should be a List because a book can have more than one author.

NOTE  Multi-value uses more space in the system. Individual items within a multi-value property are selectable in a query.

Indexed
Whether the property is indexed or not. An indexed property is searchable by queries generated by the database. Click Set/Remove to load the Set/Remove Indexing dialog box. This button will be unavailable if the property is not indexable.
System Owned
Indicates whether the class property is system-generated.
CBR Enabled
Select/clear this checkbox to enable/disable Content-based Retrieval (CBR) indexing for this property definition. Note that this checkbox appears for String properties only.
Primary ID
