Properties
A property provides a name and characteristics for data in an object. Because a property definition is a rule, it shares the benefits of versioning, inheritance, and access control that the Pega Platform provides to all rules.
The following tabs are available on this form:
- General
- Advanced
- Completing the General tab
- Completing the General tab — Value modes
A property has one of eleven modes, arranged in three groups. The General and Behavior tab layouts vary according to the mode and the Table Type field selected. See:
- Completing the General tab — Choosing a property mode
- Completing the General tab — Value modes
- Completing the General tab — Java Object modes
- Completing the General tab — Tables
Your system includes hundreds of standard properties useful to your application. Review the relevant existing properties before creating new properties. Consult documentation and use the Pega Platform facilities to look for the ones you need.
