The properties tagged on an Oracle Commerce record can be displayed with the record.

Properties are key/value pairs associated with Oracle Commerce records. Property values provide detailed information about a record that your application can display when a user accesses a record by searching for or navigating to it. Properties generally contain more detail about a record than dimension values, which are used for navigation.

For example, a record can have properties named Product Description, Price, and Part Number, each with an appropriate value. The values of these properties can be displayed when a user finds the record, but they are too specific to be useful for navigation. A dimension named Price Range, however, can help a user navigate to records with specific prices (stored as property values), which are displayed when the user finds the record.
