The internal value of a Single Value property is String, not Single Value. Single Value property values correspond to objects of the Java.lang.String Class.

For example, use this mode to create a property that can hold a birth date. The standard Single Value property named Work-.pyID holds the system-assigned unique identifier for a work item.

If you create a Value List property named LetterSent, you can use it to hold a list of values. For example, you can use an activity or an HTML form to set LetterSent(1) to Mom and LetterSent(2) to Dad.

After setting these values, the LetterSent Value List contains LetterSent(1) and LetterSent(2).

An example of a standard Value List property is Work-.pyOpenWindows.

If you create a Value Group property named Birthday, you can use it in your future configuration to hold a group of values. For example, you can use an activity or an HTML form to set Birthday(Bob) to July and Birthday(Mary) to September. Birthday(Bob) and Birthday(Mary) become elements of the Birthday Value Group.

For example, a Page mode property named Originator can contain information about the originator of a work item, such as the originator's name, account number, and so on.

An example of a standard Page property is Work-.pyIndexes.

For example, a Page List property named Contacts can contain the pages Contact(1), Contact(2), Contact(3), and so on.

Work-.pyFlowActionCosts is an example of a standard Page List property.

For example, the standard Page Group property named Work-.pyWorkParty can contain pyWorkParty(Lawyer), pyWorkParty(Customer), pyWorkParty(Staff), and so on.

• Manual - At run time, the user adds data to this property through the UI. Data transforms and other rules may be required to support this workflow.
• Automatic reference to class instance (linked) - This property holds the value of a key to an Operator ID, Organization, Access Group, or other data object that presents data from that object anywhere in the system.

If you choose Automatic Reference to class instance (linked), further fields appear:

• Provide a linked class in the Linked Class field
• Select a Source Property in that class to populate the property you are editing. The keys for the linked class then appear.

  If there is only one key, the value of your property becomes the key used to open the object at run-time. If there is more than one key, the source properties become input fields where you may enter values for the keys or properties that will contain the appropriate values at run time.

• Manual - At run time, the user adds data to this property through the UI. Data transforms and other rules may be required to support this workflow.
• Refer to a data page - This is the recommended option. When data page parameters change and a reference to a non-parameter value is made, the system loads a new data page. Reads from and writes to the property occur on the new data page.
• Copy data from a data page - Only use this option if you need to copy the data into your case. When parameters to the data page change and a non-parameter value is referenced, a new data page is loaded and copied into this property. Interactions with the property happen on the copied data.

If you choose "Refer to a data page", further fields appear:

• For a Page property, you must choose a Data Page whose structure is "Page".
• You can check the Load each page in this page list individually check box to have the system retrieve each embedded page in the PageList separately. You must specify a data page whose structure is "page".
• Select a data page in the Data Page field, or click the Edit icon to the right of the field to create one.
• If fields appear below the Parameters title, specify for each parameter a value, or a property that, at run time, contains the value to assign to the parameter. The parameters are passed to the data page for keyed page access. For more information, see Creating a data page.

If you select Copy data from a data page , you can select a data transform in the Data Transform field that appears. This allows you to copy only a subset of the results on a data page into the property. To create a new data transform, specify a name and then click the Edit icon to the right of the field.

• If you are copying to a property of page structure, the property behaves as if no relevant reference exists and retrieves no data from the data page. The property displays any data the user has set manually. Once there are values for the keys, the property autopopulates from the data the data page provides and overrides any existing data the user has provided.
• If you are copying to a property of page-list structure, the property behaves as if no filters are applied and copies the complete list of data (.pxResults) provided by the data page. Once there are values for the keys, any additional list elements that were created earlier are removed and the data in any existing list-elements is overridden.

• For property types with manual data access selected, the system by default saves the property data with the case for which it is used. Check the Don't save property data (transient) check box to prevent the system from saving the data with the work item.
• For Interact directly with automatically loaded data pages , the property is a reference.The user can choose at run time to save or not save parameters to the data page.
• If you select Copy automatically loaded data page into this property , the system follows your direction. There is no way to discard property data at the time of save. Select "Interact directly with automatically loaded data pages" if you wish to discard property data when saving.
