Editing properties

Properties can be created for most elements, including components, resources, applications, and agents.

About this task

A property represents a user-defined parameter. Properties are typically used in processes. For information about using properties, see Referring to properties.

To edit most of the properties for an element, open the element, go to its Configuration tab (not the Configuration tab at the top of the page), and then click element_type Properties. For example, to edit component properties, click the component, click Configuration, and then click Component Properties, as shown in the following figure.

However, if you created an application from a template, any environment or application properties that you specified are not available on the Configuration tabs. You can view and edit, but not delete, these properties by clicking the element's Configuration tab (not the Configuration tab at the top of the page), and then clicking Basic Settings.

To add a property, click Add Property, and provide the information about the property, including its name, value, and description. You can also edit multiple properties at once by clicking Batch Edit. Then, in batch mode, specify the properties in name-value pairs that are separated by line breaks, as in the following example:

Property1=Value1
Property2=Value2
Property3=Value3

Escape backslash, equals, and colon characters (\, =, :) with a backslash, for example:

WindowsPath=C\:\\myfolder\\myfile.txt
PropertyWithColons=This string\: has a colon

To create a property, put the new property and its value on a new line. To include a line break in a property value, use "\n". Be sure to click Save to save your changes when you are finished editing multiple properties. To close batch edit mode, use the Use Table command. Secured values are encrypted when they are displayed in batch mode. If you modify an encrypted value, the modifications are encrypted when you exit edit mode.
