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.
Note
Properties are the key/value pairs from the raw data that have not been included for navigation but which are displayed. Thus, each record, when displayed, includes a combined set of navigable data (dimension values) and non-navigable data (properties).
