Setting up custom properties
You can set up MDM custom properties on all of the main object types (Document, Variable, Grid, Element, and so on) to store information that is not directly supported by the MDM. For a list of the custom properties that are already in use, see Custom properties in use in UNICOM Intelligence products. However, you can define additional custom properties.
You can also set up DataSourceProperties to store DataSource-specific custom properties.
