Add Properties

Add a property to one object, or to several objects.

Before you begin

Note the following points:
  • Property names must be valid NCNames.
  • Property names beginning with the underscore character ("_") are reserved for WSRR use. Therefore, you must not define property names that begin with an underscore.
  • Property values must contain only characters that are valid in XML. That is, their Unicode values must lie in the following ranges: #x9, #xA, #xD, #x20 - #xD7FF, #xE000 - #xFFFD, #x10000 - #x10FFFF

Procedure

  1. Click one object to select it, or press the control key (Ctrl) and click multiple objects to select them.
  2. Click Add Properties.
  3. Specify a name and a value. Adding a property to an object allows you to enter a new property with a name/value pair. Properties must be unique on a specific object and cannot be created with the same name as an existing user-defined or modelled property. If you create a property on multiple objects selected in the graph view, then the same property name and value will be added to all the selected objects.
  4. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
