Customizing the default property behavior involves modifying the PropertyConfiguration.xml file. The first section below provides the basic steps for updating the XML file. The following section describes the behavior you can customize and lists the associated parameters.
To customize property behavior
Select the method used to populate a property's choice list values.
You can customize the choice list values used when searching on a string or integer property. By default, the values in the choice list are determined by the class you have selected in your search conditions. When you customize the choice list, you override the property's class choice list and instead use the choice list specified by the property template. Property templates are created using Enterprise Manager. See Assign properties to a class for more information about the relationship between property templates and class properties.
The customized choice list is available on search templates and the advanced search page.
