The Property Lists module allows you to configure business objects and add property lists.

  • Business Objects - You can configure business objects and provide keywords for them. The keywords are used to extract data from a content file.

  • Property List - You can create a property group name and properties for this property group. The property group name is added as an interface definition that is related to the business object for which we are configuring the property list.

  • Properties of Property List - You can create properties for a property list. These properties are extracted from the content file during content extraction as the business object properties.

Only administrators can access this module.

When you open the Property Lists module, it displays the property lists that already exist in the database in an item list.

The example below shows how the properties of the business object (Tag) are extracted from a content file:

Business Object Name

FDWTag

Keyword

Tag

Property Group Name

Equipment List

Display Name

Facility tag item classification

Outer Dia

SPFNEquipment_List_Outer_Dia

Pressure

SPFNEquipment_List_Pressure

This illustration shows a section of the content file that is extracted for the tag properties.

The example below shows how the properties of the business object (asset) are extracted from a content file:

Business Object Name

SPXAsset

Keyword

Asset

Property Name

Pump List

Property Group Name

PL

Display Name

Tag Attribute Node Name/Property Name

Length

SPFNPL_Length

Depth

SPFNPL_Depth

This illustration shows a section of the content file that is extracted for the asset properties.

It is recommended to provide a short Property Group Name when defining new Property Lists because the UIDs that are generated for the properties have the constant SPFN and the display name appended to it. For example, SPFNPL_Length. The database reader can only extract data into properties that are 30 characters in length or less.
