Direct properties group

Complex properties can be organized in different groups, however, direct properties will always be added to the same group.

This group will always be at the bottom, as shown in the image, where you can see two groups of complex properties (the first one in compact mode) and the direct properties group in lighter blue color and marked with the name "Direct Properties (without operators)":

The direct properties group will always appear at the bottom. Whenever you add more direct properties you will find them grouped there.

 

You can access different actions of the group by clicking on the 3-dot icon at the top right:

 

  • Collapse group. When this option is selected, the group is displayed in compact mode, hiding the data flows and showing only the header with the group title and the number of inputs and outputs inside. Being able to collapse groups can help you work more comfortably when your asset has many groups. You can also collapse/open a group by clicking on the header.

  • Add new input. You can also add new feeds to the direct properties group by selecting this option from the menu or by clicking on the "+" button in the INPUTS column.

  • Delete group. If you delete the group you will lose all the dataflows and properties you have created within it and you will have to go through the whole creation process again.

 

Complex properties group

Each time you add a new complex property you can also create a new group or choose an existing one in which to place it.

To organize this type of properties in different groups can help you if you have created very complex data flows or if you need to create a lot of properties.

 

You can access different actions of the groups by clicking on the 3-dot icon at the top right:

  • Collapse group. This option collapses the group to show it in compact mode, hiding the data flows and showing only the header with the group title and the number of inputs, operators and outputs inside. Being able to collapse groups can help you work more comfortably when your asset has many groups. You can also collapse/open a group by clicking on the header.

  • Add new input. From here you can also add new feeds or properties to the inputs column. You can also do it from the "+" button of the INPUTS column.

  • Add new operator. You can add new operators to your group from this menu option or by clicking on the "+" button in the OPERATORS column.

  • Delete group. If you delete the group you will lose all the data flows and properties you have created within it and you will have to go through the whole creation process again.
