  • With properties, users easily monitor and follow up with documents, articles, 3D parts, passeports, etc

  • Admin profiles can manage objects' properties

  • You can apply the sites concerned for each property

Properties are used to tag objects for easier classification. To access customizable property management:

  1. Access the Administration tab

  2. Open the Properties panel

  3. Open the pane corresponding to the object category whose properties you wish to manage (i.e.: Document, or Product)

How to create a property

  1. Click on New property

  2. Fill in the different fields:

    • Property type: defines the type of value expected for this property (single or multiple choice value list, number, text, date, user).

    • Distribution: list of sites for which the property will be visible

    • Property name & description

    • For Single Selection and Multiple Selection property types, the list of selectable values (click on New value).

  3. Click on Confirm

How to modify a property

  • Aletiq's native properties cannot be modified. Only customizable properties created by users can be modified.

  • It is not possible to modify the type of a property if a value has been assigned to an object for that property.

To modify an existing property:

  1. In the properties panel, click on Modify

  2. In the window that opens, modify the property characteristics or values, then click on Confirm
