About Property Definitions

Properties enable you to capture the business data that can be used for further analysis. Each property is associated with a group, and, in turn, each group is mapped to a category.

A property definition contains the following components:
  • Property Category: A property category is a parent object that denotes the area of application to which a property group belongs. You can use it to organize the property groups and definitions associated with the application.
  • Property Group: A property group is a collection of properties. You can use it to group fields that are commonly used so that the individual fields are automatically added in the configured applications.
  • Property Definition: A property definition includes the alias name, data type, default value and other information of the property.
