Managing custom properties
Overview
An artifact property refers to the descriptive data that is associated with an artifact or sub-artifact. All artifacts and sub-artifacts have default system properties. These default system properties vary depending on the type of artifact or sub-artifact. Artifacts and sub-artifacts can also have custom properties, which are configured by the project administrators.
Project administrators with the applicable privileges can create custom properties and apply them to one or more artifact or sub-artifact types. Custom properties are defined and managed on the Custom Properties tab in the Project Administraton Console. The Properties tab looks like this:
The left side of the page provides you with a table containing the following columns of information about each custom property:
- Name: Indicates the name of the custom property.
- Type: The custom property can be one of the following types: text, number, date/time, choice, or user/group.
After you select a custom property from the table, the custom property details are displayed on the right side of the page.
