Property template properties (More tab)

Use the More tab to view, modify, or access more property template properties and actions. The attributes you can set on this tab depend on the data type of the property.

NOTES 

Name Property (DateTime, ID, integer, string data types)
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.
Value Required (all data types)
Determines whether an attributet must have a value. If a value is required, the user cannot leave the property blank.
Allows Foreign Object (object data type)
Indicates whether the property supports cross-object store references. If you select this option, 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.
Persistence (all data types)
Determines whether the property is persisted, or saved, to the database. Once you set the persistence, you cannot change it. You can select one of the following choices:
Hidden (all data types)
Indicates that the property template is used by the system, but not by the 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 an unhidden property.
Security Proxy Type (object data type)
Indicates whether the security on the property is inherited.
Settability (all data types)
Indicates whether and under what conditions a user can change the value of the property, as follows:
Category (all data types)
Specifies optional information that you can use to group related properties together for sorting purposes. For example, you can enter the name of the add-on XML file that was used to import the property into the object store. When you view property templates in Enterprise Manager or when you view the results of an Enterprise Manager search for property templates, you can sort the property templates by category.
Audit As (all data types)
Specifies the event property template that is used to audit the property. If the value is NULL or it specifies a property template that is not part of the Event object, the property value will not be stored in the corresponding audit entries. The property template that you specify must be a property definition on ObjectChangeEvent or one of its subclasses.
Choice List (integer, string data types)
Specifies the name of the choice list assigned to the property template.
Default Value (all data types)
Provides the user with a default value for the property. You cannot set a default if the property can have multiple values. If you change this attribute, the change propagates to all subclasses where the current value is less than the new value or where a value is not set.
Minimum Value
Sets the minimum value. If you change this attribute, the change propagates to all subclasses where the current value is less than the new value or where a value is not set. The lowest value allowed depends on the data type, as follows:
Maximum Value
Sets the maximum value. If you change this attribute, the change propagates to all subclasses where the current value is greater than the new value or where a value is not set. The highest value allowed depends on the data type, as follows:
Maximum Length
Sets the maximum number of characters. The maximum number of characters allowed for persistent properties is determined by the database engine: Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 allow 4000 characters; Oracle allows 1333 characters. Non-persistent properties can have up to 2,147,483,647 characters. If you change this value, the change propagates to subclasses with a higher maximum value or where the value was not set.
