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. When creating a group you must add the parent first then create the app properties under the parent.

Note: Once you create an app property either as a standalone property or under a group, you cannot move the property around to another location in the properties list.
Note: Group names within an app must be unique. Also, property names within a group must be unique.

Procedure

  1. Open the app details page and click App Properties.
  2. Click Add on the upper right corner to add the group.
  3. Enter a meaningful name for the group and click Add group.
    The group gets created. The group is simply a label and cannot be used by itself. So, you must add properties within the group.
  4. To add a property within the group, hover your mouse cursor to the extreme right of the group until the Add button appears in the group row.

  5. Click the Add button and enter a name for the property and click Add property.
  6. Select a data type for the property and enter a value. Entering a value and selecting a data type are mandatory. The Save button will remain disabled without them.
  7. Click Save.
    The property gets created under the parent.
