Properties

Property is a variable associated with some Oracle Field Service entity (resource, user, activity, inventory, etc).

This is much like a field of an object in most programming languages. Property has a name, visibility, data representation, relations to entity and modification parameters.

Therefore, if there is a property of an entity in Oracle Field Service, all such entities have this property, and all relevant API functions can read this property, write to it, and make conditional decisions based on the property value (as long as correspondent permissions are granted to a user). Correspondingly, all screens and functions, having access to the entity, can as well operate its properties (according to visibility restrictions).

Properties for Oracle Field Service entities can also be updated. A more detailed description of the property processing is provided in SDK of each specific API that processes the properties.
