Add Property

Adding a new Property involves defining its characteristics, such as its name, description, type, and other attributes.

Steps to Add a Property

1. Navigate to the Entity Page

   • Select the Entity from the Secondary Left Panel.

   • The Entity page will display on the right side of the panel.

2. Initiate the Property Creation Process

   1. On the Entity page, ensure the Properties tab is open (this tab opens by default).

   2. Click the New button in the Tabs & Actions Bar.

      
3. Enter Property Details

   • A New Property Drawer will open to enter the property details:

     • Name

       • This should be a unique identifier, between 2 to 100 characters long. Avoid using spaces, special characters, or starting with a numeric character.

       • Validation rules:

         1. The name must be unique.

         2. The name length should be between 2 and 100 characters.

         3. The name cannot be empty.

         4. The name cannot include special characters.

         5. The name cannot include spaces.

         6. The name cannot start with a numeric character.

     • Description (optional)

       • Descriptions should be between 0 and 400 characters long, detailing the property's role and purpose.

       • Validation rules:

         1. The description length should be between 0 and 400 characters.

     • Type

       • Select the data type of the property (e.g., Text, Whole Number, Date/Time, etc.).

     • Nullable

       • Indicate if the property can accept null values.

     • Searchable

       • Determine if the property can be used in search queries.

4. Continue Filling the Rest of the Type-Specific Field

Each property type has its specific attributes and constraints. These details will be covered in the following sections.

1. Define List Attributes (if applicable)

   • If the property is a list, specify the following attributes:

     • Is List

       • Indicate if the property can hold multiple values.

     • Allow Duplicates

       • When True, this allows repeated values within the same list property.

     • Min Items Allowed

       • Define the minimum number of items required in the list property. This ensures that the list cannot contain fewer items than specified.

       • Validation rules:

         1. The minimum number of items should be a whole number greater than or equal to 0.

     • Max Items Allowed

       • Define the maximum number of items allowed in the list property. This prevents the list from exceeding the specified number of items.

       • Validation rules:

         1. The maximum number of items should be greater than or equal to the minimum number of items allowed.

2. Submit the Property

   • Click the Submit button to add the Property to the Entity.

     
   • The new property will appear in the list of properties under the Properties tab.
