Creating a Property

If you design a new behavior model and intend for it to manage a group of nodes that don't currently share a unique property, you must create a property to serve as that unique property. Because you must create this property in the context of an existing property group, you will probably need to create a property group before you create your property. For instructions on creating a property group, see the section Creating a New Property Group. Once you've created both the property group and the property, you can assign the new property group to the nodes you want to manage with the new behavior model.

 
  To create a property:

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

   The Property Group List window is displayed.

   

2. Select a property group from the Property Group list.

   Often you select a property group that you've created expressly to contain your new property. When you create the property, it will belong to this property group.

3. Type the name of the new property in the New Property text field.
