How to customise/extend my Object properties?

Object properties can be customised by the developer by adding user-defined properties by accessing them via the Object Structure Maintenance menu option for the Object or Base Class.

Object properties can be customised at 2 different levels:

• At individual Object level
• At Base Class level, where custom properties are then inherited by all Objects derived from the customised Base Class

There are 2 types of properties that can be added to Objects:

• Object Properties which are associated with the Object. e.g. an extended description to a question
• List Properties which associated with each list value (List & Boolean Objects only). e.g. the cost of options.

The values of all Object properties (system & user defined) can modified by the developer via the menu options Edit for Objects and Edit Advanced Settings for Base Classes. Object property values can also be accessed and modified at runtime via a Script.

Please note that both the Object Structure Maintenance and Edit Advanced Settings menu options can only be accessed when the Show Advanced Menu Catalog option is checked
