Exclusion Property Name in BOD Definitions, Guidelines

Follow these guidelines for using the Exclusion Property Name component:

  • There is probably never a good reason to define an exclusion property for any element in the ApplicationArea of the BOD.
  • Do not define an exclusion property for an element that is used to declare a subcollection.
  • You can use a derived property as an exclusion property in the absence of another property that can be relied upon to control exclusion. The derived property may, or may not, be used elsewhere in the BOD metadata mapping.
