Streamlining adding Properties using the Property Template
Incorporating new properties into an object can often be a detailed and time-intensive process, particularly when dealing with numerous properties.
Utilizing a property template streamlines this task significantly. A property template encompasses a predefined collection of properties that can be applied to an object effortlessly in one action.
This guide details the steps to employ a property template for adding new properties to an object.
Step-by-Step Process:
Identify and select the object you wish to enhance with new properties.
Access the Property Template
Click the arrow next to the “+ New Property” button to reveal the “Select Property Template” option.
Choose a Property Template
Select the “Select Property Template” option to move forward.
Add Properties Using the Template
You will be presented with the “Add Property from the Template” form, allowing you to incorporate the desired properties for your object according to the needs of your application.
To add the properties, click on the “+ Add” option. The chosen properties will be seamlessly integrated into your object.
Properties can be located quickly by typing the property name into the search bar.
Practical Example:
When aiming to add properties to an “Employee” object, for instance, searching for “Employee ID” will display it if it exists as a template, given “Employee ID” is already saved as a template.
Conversely, a search for “Contact Information” may return “No record available” if it hasn’t been saved as a template in the system.
After selecting all necessary properties at once, you can conclude the process by clicking the close button.
This will redirect you back to the property page of the chosen object.
After adding properties
Step 1: Update the App
Locate the Update Button: On the App Model page, find the ‘Update App‘ button in the top right corner.
Step 2: Integrate Changes
Apply Updates: Click on the ‘Update App’ button. This action integrates your newly added properties into the workspace, ensuring that the changes made in the App Model are accurately reflected in your actual workspace.
Employing property templates for adding properties offers a streamlined and efficient method to enhance your objects with multiple properties simultaneously.
By adhering to the straightforward instructions provided in this article, you can quickly and easily add new properties to an object, optimizing your application development workflow.
