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.
