Creating a Group

You can create one or more standalone app properties or group app properties such that they show up in a hierarchy. A group (or hierarchy) consists of a parent node, which is just a label and does not have a data type associated with it. You must create properties within the parent. You can do so in the Application Properties dialog box. When creating a group you must add the parent first and then create the app properties under the parent.

Note:  
  • With drag option, a standalone property can be rearranged to another location or a property under the group can be moved to another group.
  • A group with its nested groups and properties can be dragged to move from one location to another. Also a nested group can be moved up in the hierarchy or to the root level. However, no two groups can have same name on same level.
  • Group names within an app must be unique. Also, property names within a group must be unique.
  • You cannot create a group and an app property with the same name in the same hierarchy.
    Procedure
  1. Open the app details page and click App Properties.
  2. Click +Group on the upper-right corner to add the group.
  3. Click on the newly created group name to make it editable and Enter a meaningful name for the group.
    The group gets created. The group is simply a label and cannot be used by itself. So, you must add a group or a property within the group.
  4. To add a property within the group, hover your mouse cursor to the extreme right of the group until +Property is displayed in the group row.
  5. Click +Property to add the property and rename it.
  6. Select a data type for the property and enter a value. Entering a value and selecting a data type is mandatory. Save remains disabled without it.
  7. Click Save.
    The property gets created under the parent.
    Note: You can even add a nested group under the parent group by clicking on +Group in the group row.
