Schema Properties

To define custom properties, access the Shares > Schema navigation item. The current schema is displayed as a list, and entries can be added or removed as needed. Each property has the following fields:

Table 129 Schema Property Fields

Field	Description
NAME	The CLI name for this property. This must contain only alphanumeric characters or the characters `".:_\"`.
DESCRIPTION	The BUI name for this property. This can contain arbitrary characters and is used in the help section of the CLI
TYPE	The property type, for validation purposes. This must be one of the types described below.

The valid types for properties are:

Table 130 Valid Types for Properties

BUI Type	CLI Type	Description
String	String	Arbitrary string data. This is the equivalent of no validation.
Integer	Integer	A positive or negative integer
Positive Integer	PositiveInteger	A positive integer
Boolean	Boolean	A true/false value. In the BUI this is presented as a checkbox, while in the CLI it must be one of the values "true" or "false".
Email Address	EmailAddress	An email address. Only minimal syntactic validation is done.
Hostname or IP	Host	A valid DNS hostname or IP (v4 or v6) address.

Once defined, the properties are available under the general properties tab, using the description provided in the property table. Properties are identified by their CLI name, so renaming a property will have the effect of removing all existing settings on the system. A property that is removed and later renamed back to the original name will still refer to the previously set values. Changing the types of properties, while supported, may have undefined results on existing properties on the system. Existing properties will retain their current settings, even if they would be invalid given the new property type.
