Date property

Add a Date property to model objects, making it possible to report on dates, e.g. "Revision date", or a field for object validity. That means that you can use different models at different times (versioning of management models and objects), e.g. to have the correct picture of what the situation was three years ago.   

When new Date properties are added, the date format will be based on the default locale. Hence they will be locale / language sensitive, meaning users with different locale will see them differently. The format can be set in the Properties panel, and they will no longer be locale / language sensitive.

 

When referring to a date property in using an expression, e.g. when creating a date column in a Perspective Column Set in Shared Web Items, use the Date property id, i.e. ${this.object.106}, rather than ${this.object.Date property}. Using "Date property" here will cause the date property to only be available when English language is used. The column will be empty if the user switches to another language. The ID can be found by right clicking on the Date property in the Property Settings panel.

Properties

General

• Name - the name "Date property" is generated automatically, but we recommend giving the property a different name

• Description - an optional text describing the property

Configuration

• Category - the category in the object's configuration in which the property should be placed.

   Change the property's placement in the configuration dialog by changing this value. Default is "General". E.g. by changing the value to "Configuration" the property will be grouped with the other properties under Configuration.

• Overridden column name in tables - an alternative, shorter property name to be used in column headings.

   If this property has a value, it will use this as the column header in tables.

  Name changes made here will not affect token tags for the property.

• Display in tables as - how the property should be displayed in the table when there isn't enough room

  • Full text - the text shows in its full length on a single line

  • Wrapped - the text shows in multiple lines if there is not enough space on one line

  • Truncated - the text is cut off with '...' if there is not enough space to show the full text. Full text is shown on mouse over.

  Properties that are never shown in tables or that cannot be truncated or wrapped, such as dates, statuses, icons, numbers, and progress, do not have this option. They will always be shown in full text.

Features

• Features - select how the object should appear on the web:

  • Visible

  • Not visible

  • Visible when value

Web editability

• Editable on web - whether users who are not administrators should have access to edit the property on the web page; choose between

  • Restricted - the property will not be visible for non-administrators

  • Unrestricted - the property can be edited by users who are not administrators

   Users who are to be able to edit properties on the web page must be given Property access in addition to Web access in Users and Groups, and they must also be mapped with the Full access profile to the scorecard where the objects they should be able to edit are located.

Information

• Information - enter helpful text for users who view the object that includes this property on Web. For example, a note on how to input data in that property field for the object.

  Click the Lookup () icon and enter the text.

   The property supports both plain and rich text.

   For Corporater BMP to display text that's specific to the object, add a text property to the object and then include a tag that references that property in the Information property. For example, a myInfo property and a ${this.object.myInfo} tag in Information.

   Corporater BMP attaches an Info icon to the property on Web. The icon is visible for the property as follows:

  When a user clicks the icon, your text displays in a collapsible Info section.

  • On the Edit page for the object that includes the property.

  • On the Add page for the object that includes the property.

  • In the inline editing mode of a description view for the object that includes the property.

  When a user clicks the icon, your text displays in a collapsible Info section.

• Linked to - available only after you paste link the property to an object type. The name of the original property type, as listed in the Property settings panel.

Format

• Input period type - choose the type of period you want

   You can override the format of the Date property in the Properties panel by setting "True" in Override format and then selecting the desired format in Overriding format. You can select values for Date properties on objects in Configuration Studio and on the web. The Date selector on the web will reflect the period type selected here. Note that this formatting may not be used when Hirji language is used.
