Adding custom properties

  1. Expand Business Objects and select the business object to which to add custom properties.
  2. Click Manage Properties.
  3. Click the Custom tab.
  4. Click Add and specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a name for the property. Spaces are not allowed.
    This name is used internally and is not displayed.
    Caption
    Specify the property name to display in tools such as Application Studio and Self-Service.
    Type
    Select one of these property types:
    • String
    • Number
    • Date
    • Boolean
    • List
  5. For string properties, specify the maximum number of characters for the property. The default is 50.
  6. For number properties, specify the maximum number of digits before the decimal point, and the number of decimal places.
  7. For list properties, specify a comma-separated list of properties.
    List properties can be used for properties which require validation of entries. When you upload, import, or manually edit properties, only those that match an entry in the list are allowed.

    If an item is removed from the list, or renamed, business object records which had the original value are unaffected.
