A linked property is a special form of property that 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

1. Select Automatic reference to class instance (linked).
2. In the Linked Class field, select a class that contains the linked property.
3. In the Linked Mapping section, in the Source Property field, select the linked property name.
   Result: The keys for the linked class appear. If the class contains only one key, the value of your property becomes the key that is used to open the object at run time. If the class contains more than one key, the source properties become input fields where you can enter values for the keys or properties that provide the appropriate values at run time.

1. Select Refer to a data page.
2. Optional: For PageList mode, to retrieve each embedded page in the PageList separately, select the Load each page in this page list individually checkbox.
3. In the Data Page field, enter a data page that stores values to refer.

1. Select Copy data from a data page.
2. Optional: For PageList mode, to retrieve each embedded page in the PageList separately, select the Load each page in this page list individually checkbox.
3. In the Data Page field, enter a data page that stores values to copy.
4. Optional: To copy only selected information from the data page, in the Optional Data Mapping field, enter a data transform that determines what information the system copies.

For example,you can choose that setting when you want to use the property with a Text input control.

1. Select Local list.
2. In the Table values section, manually add the set of acceptable values to display or enter in the picker control at run time.
   For example: You can enter explicit values for contract types, such as permanent, contract, intern.

1. Select Field value.
2. In the Field Value description section, in the Class list, select a class that is the first key part (Applies To class) of one or more field value rules.
   The class that is specified here need not match the Applies To key part of this property.
3. In the Field name list, enter the second key, which is the FieldName parameter of the field values that have the specified class as their first key part.
   For example: In the @baseclass pyCaption StatementCopy field value, which is the field value for the string Statement copy, the first key part of the field value rules is the @baseclass class name (the Applies To class for these rules). The second key part is pyCaption (the FieldName parameter for these rules).

1. Select Class Key Value.
2. In the Table description section, in the Validation class list, select a concrete class that stores the set of acceptable values.

1. If the validation class has more than one key, in the Subset name field, enter the value of the key in the validation class that represents the subset that contains the list of acceptable values.
   For example: If the Data-CustomerTerritory class has a state code and county name as keys, then, to restrict values for a property at run time to county names in the New York state, enter Data-CustomerTerritory as the validation class and NY as the subset name.

   For more information, see Class keys.

1. Select Remote list.
2. In the Class of instance list, select a class of the instance.
3. In the Reference to list or group list, select a property that has one of the List or Group modes, that is: value list, value group, page list, or page group.
4. If you select a Page list or Page group property in the Reference to list or group, in the Reference in each to scalar property list, identify a property that contains the value that is an index that identifies the specific page that contains the list.

The actual values that are stored in the clipboard are different from the values presented to the user at run time

1. Select Prompt list.
2. In the Prompt values section, add a prompt by clicking the Add a row icon.
3. In the Standard value field, enter a value.
   The system stores this value internally as the property value.
4. In the Prompt value field, specify the value that is visible in the UI at run time.
   For example: When the standard value specifies a short value like EDate, the corresponding prompt value can be a more human-readable value like Date to complete this task. The standard value is the value that is stored on the clipboard, and the prompt value is the value that is displayed to the user at run time.
