You can create one or more custom properties to extend the information stored in DOC4000 about various objects, such as adding the department or location within the plant. When you create a custom property, you name the property, specify the type of property, and for some types you specify the supported values. Review the following considerations when creating custom properties:

  • The name for each custom property needs to be unique.

  • The name for each property, including custom and standard properties, should be unique. If you create a custom property and store it in an existing object type, the custom property value can overwrite a standard property with the same name.

  • If you create a custom property and store it in custom object types, the conflicts with standard property names can be avoided. You specify which object types when you attach a template to one or more object types. For more information, see Creating a Custom Property Template.

To create a custom property:

  1. In the Admin Utility, click the Custom Properties link. Alternatively, you can use the Asset Model Development Kit (AMDK) to configure custom properties. For more information, see the AMDK Help in the DataCollector folder for your DOC4000 installation.

  2. If the Custom Properties section is collapsed, click the Custom Properties heading to expand the section and display the fields in that section.

  4. On the Add Custom Property window, type a name for the property, and click OK.

  5. In the Property Details area, select an option to specify the type of field that is displayed for the property.

  6. If you select Checkboxes, Radio buttons, or List, click the add (+) button next to the Items list to specify the available values for this property.

  7. Use the up and down arrow buttons to order the values in the Items list as you want them to be displayed.

  8. Click Save.
