Details on New/Edit Document Property

Custom document properties can be used throughout the analysis. For example, this could be a currency exchange rate which can be used in calculations on several different columns. Document properties can be used inside expressions, using Insert Calculated Column or Custom Expressions, or, in reference lines in visualizations. You can also add property controls to a text area, for an easy way of changing the property value. See Using Properties in the Analysis for more information.
