In addition to creating and reading files, you can interpret and process the content of a file. File contents can also be linked with properties. This can be modeled using the File has Property relationship.
You can link file contents to properties only if the file has records with a defined structure (see the figure below).
Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
TargetID * | Property | References a property whose value is part of the structured file. |
Label [O] | String | Labels table column if the file should display in a table. If no label is stated, the name is used as a label. |
SeqNo * [U] | Integer | The sequence number of the property value in the structured file. |
Visible | Boolean | Determines if this property should display as a column in a table view. |
Editable | Boolean | Determines whether this table column is editable. |
The file (bottom) contains several records with a defined structure (Element name, User-ID, Date). These values can be processed further using Relationships to Properties (center).
