Adding Properties Manually

If you need a property group that contains only a few properties -- maybe a couple of base object names and one user-defined property -- you can create an empty property group and then add properties to it by hand.

 
  To create an empty property group and then add properties to it:

1. From the client's Admin menu, select Property Group List.

   The Property Group List window is displayed.

2. Type the name of your new property group in the New Property Group text field.
3. Select the Add button under the New Property Group text field.

   Your new property group appears in the Property Group list and is highlighted. Note that no properties are listed in the Property list since the property group is empty.

4. To add one or more properties to the new property group, perform the steps covered in the section Creating a Property.
5. Select the Save button.
