Managing resource properties

Properties can be created for any resource.

About this task

A property represents a user-defined parameter. Properties are typically used in processes. For information about using properties, see Properties.

Procedure

  1. Open the Resource: selected_resource page. The page displays information about the resource's parent and lists any subresources that are associated with it.
  2. To modify resource parameters, open the Basic Settings page (Configuration tab). The page enables modification of parameters that were defined when the resource was created.
    Note: Most user-created objects have an associated Configuration tab that enables modification of the item's user-defined parameters and definition.
  3. Open the Resource Properties page.
  4. Click the Add Property button to open the Edit Property dialog box.
  5. In the Name and Value fields, enter a name for the resource and a value for the property.
  6. If you select the Secure check box, the value is encrypted.
  7. Optional. If the resource has several properties with defined values, you can batch edit the values by using the Batch Edit button. To close batch edit mode, use the Use Table command. Secured values are displayed encrypted in batch mode. If you modify an encrypted value, the modifications will be encrypted when you exit edit mode.
