Understanding Properties

When you set up a content type, you select the properties, or field names, that are shared by items of that type. The system displays the properties that you define for a content type as fields on the Item Details page when you set up content items. These properties will be used to describe the content items when you define them.

After you add content types to the profile type to create content sections, you will then add the properties that will be available for viewing or updating a profile item. When users add profile items to the profile, the system displays the properties you define for the content section.

The order in which properties are displayed on the Item Details page or in profiles is determined by the page field ordering and cannot be altered.

The tables in this topic list the properties in the order that they are displayed.
