The table below lists all properties for the particular element. Not all properties might be visible when an element is added, or an existing element is selected. Some properties only become visible when a dependent property is set to a specific value.

Property |
Function |
|---|---|
| (Name) | Specifies the logical name of the selected element. The following are reserved words and cannot be used to name an element. SUPER, COMPONENT, THIS and OWNER. |
| Alias | An automatically generated unique name for the selected element. You can change this name, but if it clashes with an existing alias, you are prompted for another name or to cancel the name change. |
| AllowPurge | Specifies whether users of your generated system are allowed to physically delete records using the PUR command in the Maint field of the standard Ispec screen. When the record is displayed, an entry of PUR in the Maint field causes a physical deletion to take place. If this value is False, users are not allowed to enter PUR in the Maint field. This is the default. |
| Author | Read-only. The identifier of the person who created the selected element. |
| AutomaticEntryCapable | Specifies whether the element is able to accept Automatic Entries. |
| AutomaticTab | Cursor automatically tabs to next field on a presentation screen at runtime. Note: This option is applicable only to the Presentation and Winform Client. |
| AutoRecallCapable | Specifies whether you want to enable all data values for an Ispec record to be recalled to the screen, based on a specified Key value. |
| Created | Read-only. The date on which the selected element was created. |
| DefaultCursorField | Specifies the Default cursor field position, otherwise cursor positioning might be random. You can set this property by using any one of the following ways:
Notes:

| DefaultProfile | Defines the keys or profile to be used for the class. If you define this property, the Primary Profile property will be unavailable. |
| Description | Specifies a short description of the selected element. |
| FullSuppression | Display a zero numeric value as spaces. |
| HasMaint | Specifies whether the External Ispec contains the MAINT field. Note: This property becomes visible only if the IsExternal property of an ispec is set to True. |
| Inherits | Specifies a class from which the selected class inherits. By leaving the field empty or deleting an existing entry you are specifying that the selected class has no inheritance. |
| IsExternal | Specifies whether the class is acting as a proxy for an external component, class or library. Even when this property is set to True, the element still contains the following Ispec system Attributes: Actmth, Glb.Source, Input_Date, Ispec, and TranNo. |
| IsInnerClass | An inner class has access to all the members of its containing class. When a complex class is inherited, this property is derived by the child class. |
| IsResolved | Specifies whether the element exists in the model or whether it has been created during the import of an element, which refers to it. Note: This property becomes visible only when an element is unresolved, that is when it is set to false. This property can only be changed from False to True. Once an element has been resolved it cannot be made unresolved again. |
| IsPersistent | If IsPersistent is set to True, an attribute that is a member of an Ispec or Class with no stereotype will be database persistent, that is, saved as a column in the database. |
| Kind | Read-only. Identifies the kind of element selected. |
| Length | Read-only. Displays the combined length of all contained attributes. |
| MemberPersistence | Sets the default to Persistent property for the members. |
| MemberVisibility | Specifies the default visibility for new member elements. This can be overridden for individual elements. |
| Modified | Read-only. The date the element was last modified. |

| PresentationType | Specifies if the selected element has a user interface, and what format such an interface takes. Refer to PresentationType Property formats for more information on options.

| ReservedBy | Read-only. The identifier of the user that currently has the selected element reserved. |
| Security | Specifies the security level for an element for this user. The AccessControlled property of the model must be set to True to provide this option. |
| Stereotype | Specifies the stereotype that identifies how the class operates and is interpreted in the system. |
| VersionFile | |
