Relationship: File Descriptor Has Property

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 be displayed 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 be displayed as a column in a table view.  

The default value is true.

Editable Boolean Determines whether this table column is editable.
Link between File Content and Properties

The file (black dashed framed) contains several records with a defined structure (Element name, User-ID, Date). These values can be processed further using Relationships to Properties (red dashed framed).
