The way you enter values depends on the type of property you are working with. Some of the more complex property controls, such as controls for properties that can contain more than one value, are described below.
Some properties contain Select and Create buttons, as shown:
These buttons appear for properties whose value is another repository item type with its own properties. For example, a Home Address property could be linked to a repository item type called Contact Info, with address, state, and zip code properties. Use the Create button to create a new item of the required type (for example, a Contact Info item). Use the Select button to select an existing item.
You can edit an existing entry by clicking the property value, which appears in blue, as shown in the image above. Bear in mind, however, that editing the properties here changes the item in the underlying repository, which means the change applies wherever this item is used (for example, in other user profiles).
To remove an existing entry, click the Clear icon.
Note: If the properties of the linked-to repository item are empty, the repository item’s ID is displayed as the value, as shown below.
Some properties can contain multiple values:
Use the Add New button to create a new item and add it to the list. The item is added to the system and can be used elsewhere. Use the Add Existing button to add an item you or another user already created.
To remove an item from the list, click the Remove Item icon for that item. Removing the item here does not remove it from your system.
Required properties have an asterisk next to their names. You cannot save a new asset if any required properties have not been specified.
