No user can specify the value of a property of a managed object from Operations mode; these values are always display-only in Operations mode. A site can, however, develop external applications and specify permissions for these applications that allow selected operators to set the values of selected dynamic properties by launching the external application from the managed object. One such external application, SPO.MakeNote (available in Department and Enterprises Editions only) is released with Operations Sentinel and can be used as a pattern.
