Properties are the individual values that describe an object. To create a property, you add a property template using IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine. A property template is an outline property that you assign to a class. During the creation process, specify attributes of the property.
To create a Property Template:
During the creation process, the Content Platform Engine Property Template wizard requests that you enter a value for the Category field of the property. The Category field enables you to visually group property templates, especially on the result pane. Enter Foundation Extensions-Records Manager in the Category field to classify this property as an IBM Enterprise Records property.
After completing the wizard steps, you can see the new property added to the tree when you expand the Property Templates node. You can now associate the property with the relevant class. After it is associated with a class, the property propagates to the subclasses of that class. You can also directly associate a property with a subclass.
You can add/associate new properties to any of the existing classes in the data model.
To associate a property with a class or subclass:
Depending upon its Description and the Hidden parameters, a property is visible on the IBM Enterprise Records user interface.
