Creating a Default Object Property

In ELMA, you can add a default object property to a user object. To do so:

In ELMA Designer, open the context menu at step 2 when creating an object and click Add properties by default (fig. 1);

on the user object page, click Add properties by default in the context menu (fig. 2).

In the opened dialog box (fig. 3) select properties to add. The set of default properties includes:

Name (String type). This is a key property;
Date created (Date/Time type);
Author (User (Object) type);
Date Modified (Date/Time type);
Modified by (User (Object) type).

When adding default properties, you can select the required ones by checking the boxes to the left. If you select only some of the properties, you will still be able to add the remaining properties later.

If you select all the default properties, you will not be able to add any more.

Default properties are user properties and are displayed in the list of properties respectively, but have preset parameters. To view and edit these properties, select a property and open its settings. To learn more about editing object properties, see the respective Help page.

In Web Application, these properties are displayed like other user properties (fig. 4).

Note, that the current date is set by default in the Date created field.
