As many object types and relationships refer to properties, it makes sense to define them early (see Data Model Details - Property).
All properties shown below must be defined for the example AWM model:
All values that start with “MVS_PROP_” are IDs of the respective Properties.
The table contains a few properties whose attributes need specific values.
| Property | Attribute | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MVS_PROP_ELE_MemberName | Value max length = 8 Value min length = 1 | The member name. This cannot contain more than 8 characters. |
| MVS_PROP_ELE_ChangeDate | Date Format = dd/MM/yyyy | All date properties have this date format. |
| MVS_PROP_ELE_SearchLine | Special Property = Marker Line Number | Line numbers used to set markers in the editor. |
| MVS_PROP_ELE_Suffix | Special Property = Element Suffix | File extension. |
| MVS_PROP_ELE_ElementType | Special Property = ElementType | Creates the connection between the element and the element type at run time via the match name. |
We also recommend you define a Label for each property, so that the properties will be displayed in a readable manner in the Property view. The label "Data set name", for example, is suitable for MVS_PROP_ELE_DSName, and "Member name" for MVS_PROP_ELE_MemberName, etc.
