Add Any Property
The Add buttons let you create custom properties, mappings, operators, and functions. Add buttons are available in several places:
• An Add custom property button appears on all tabs that contain simple properties (that is, properties that designate a single value).
• An Add new mapping button appears below each pair of mapping columns in the Data Type Mappings tab.
• An Add custom operator button appears near the top of the Operators tab.
• An Add custom function button appears near the top of the Functions tab.
The Clauses tab has no Add button.
Add a Custom Property, Operator, or Function
When you click an Add custom property button (available on the first several subtabs), a dialog box opens in which to type a short name for system use, and a more descriptive name to display in the current property tab (and in the data source UI). When you click OK, the new custom property is added to the top of the list on the current property tab, with fields appropriate to the property type. (See
Configure Simple Properties.)
The same actions take place when you click the Add custom operator button on the Operators tab, or click the Add custom function button on the Functions tab. (See
Configure Operators or Functions.)
Add a Data Type Mapping
When you click the Add new mapping button, a pair of fields is added to the list so you can specify new source-destination data type pairs. (See
Configure Data Type Mappings.)
