Property data types are described in the following table.
Table 4. Property Data Types
Property Data Type | Description |
|---|---|
AscGroup | Associated node group. Points to multiple nodes. The nodes point back to the AscGroup node and to each other. Analogy: Fraternity. Note: This data type should only be used with global node level properties. Caution! Associated node properties that are loaded by an import may not correctly point to all other nodes as a result of their not yet existing in the version based on the order in which nodes are imported. |
AscNode | Associated node. Points to a single other node. The node pointed to points back to the AscNode node. Analogy: Marriage. Note: This data type should only be used with global node level properties. Caution! Associated node properties that are loaded by an import may not correctly point to all other nodes as a result of their not yet existing in the version based on the order in which nodes are imported. |
AscNodes | Associated node list. Points to multiple nodes. The nodes pointed to point back to the AscNodes but not each other. Analogy: Friends. Note: This data type should only be used with global node level properties. Caution! Associated node properties that are loaded by an import may not correctly point to all other nodes as a result of their not yet existing in the version based on the order in which nodes are imported. |
Boolean | True or False |
Date | Date Note: Formatted based on the regional settings associated with the user's session. |
DateTime | Date and time. |
Float | Floating point value Note: Formatted based on the regional settings associated with the user's session. |
FormatMemo | Formatted memo — retains all formatting (spaces, tabs, new lines, and so on) to the text |
GlobalNode | Points to a node in a version; when value is assigned it shows node name only in the value field of the property grid |
Group | List of comma-delimited items |
Hier | Points to a hierarchy |
Integer | Integer value |
LeafNode | Points to a leaf node in a hierarchy. When value is assigned it shows hierarchy name and node name in the value field of the Property Grid. |
LimbNode | Points to a limb node in a hierarchy. When value is assigned it shows hierarchy name and node name in the value field of the Property Grid. |
ListGroup | Check list of items. One or more items can be selected from the list. |
Memo | Memo field — formatting is not saved and data is merged into a single line of text |
MultiNode | Points to multiple nodes |
Node | Points to a node in a hierarchy; when value is assigned it shows hierarchy name and node name in the value field of the property grid |
NodeProps | Points to the properties of a node |
Property | Points to a property |
RangeList | Defines a range of values — accepts only integer values |
Sort | Integer value that is used for sorting |
SortProp | Points to a Sort property |
String | String value |
Time | Time Note: Formatted based on the regional settings associated with the user's session. |
Version | Points to a version |
