====One step further for properties management==== | |||
Properties are a great feature of the Teamwork platform which allow users to '''associate contextual information to their measurement data and setups '''(p''roperties are applied when saving a project, a setup or a measurement)''. | |||
Without such a tool, the natural tendency would be to insert this information in the titles of the measurements making the users life difficult when it is time to sort and find relevant data. | |||
New key features are now available in the '''Properties Manager''' of NVGate 12.10 which allow a smooth experience of the Dataset management. | |||
=====Filling in properties content from a drop down list===== | |||
The user is given the possibility to fill in the content of a property from a drop-down list of predefined choices as shown in the window below: | |||

''Filling in a predefined choice for a property (when for example creating a new project)'' | |||

<font color="#70AD47">How to proceed?</font> | |||
1. Start the properties manager window for the "Home ribbon" | |||

''Starting the properties manager window'' | |||
2. After selecting a property, the property type can be selected. Three choices are available: | |||
'''Free text''': The user can enter any text freely when filling the property information. | |||
'''List (restricted) '''''(New in V12.10)'' | |||
Fill-in the '''List items''' in the '''Properties manager'''. Then, when saving a project, a measurement or a setup the user will be able to '''select the item from a combo list''' as shown below. | |||
'''List '''''(New in V12.10)''''':''' | |||
This option is a mix of the "Free text" and "List (restricted)" option. During a save (measurement, setup or project), the list is proposed as a combo but free text still can be entered. For that the list items should be entered in the properties manager for the selected property. In this case, the property will be given the free text content but the list will not be populated with this new entry. If this is required, the list of that property can be modified in the properties manager. | |||

''Selecting the property LIST type during the properties management'' | |||
* Setting up the '''Default value''' for the property item. | |||
For properties which are declared as '''list''', it is possible to define their default value: | |||

=====Multi-selecting to modify several properties at once===== | |||
A user can simply select multiple properties to achieve an action (Modify behavior, Modify suggest or Delete) on all of them at once. | |||

''Properties multi selection'' | |||
=====Deleting existing properties===== | |||
[[Image:release_note_NVGate_V12_10_21.png|framed|none]] | |||
''Deleting existing properties'' | |||
The selected properties will be deleted from the database. The multi-selection enables to delete several properties at once. | |||
Once deleted, the properties can still be shown using the "Show deleted properties" (Option accessible from the delete button using the down arrow. The property can be recovered by modifying the behavior to something other than "deleted" as shown from the window below. | |||

''Show deleted properties'' | |||
<u>''Tips:</u> ''''How to completely reset your properties base? To achieve this you must delete the files "userPropertiesLibrary" and "userPropertyPolicies" ''–'' which can be found at this location : C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\OROS\NVGate'' | |||
=====Managing the incoming properties===== | |||
This feature allows a user to choose how to deal with '''properties coming from imported NVGate projects, measurements and models''' (after an import or a collate for example). | |||
You can select what will happen to a property when the import occurs. The behavior is adjusted after pressing the button "Incoming …" | |||
2 main choices are available: Import or Ignore | |||
* Import: When this behavior is selected, the user needs to select the following settings: | |||
* "behavior": apply to a new project, to a measurement, to a model, or don<nowiki>’</nowiki>t apply it (Nothing). | |||
* "suggest": empty, same as previous, same as today. | |||
To update the properties for a team who use several PCs, select this option, then import a project, measurement, models on the PCs. The new properties will be including on the new PC, including combo list. | |||
* Ignore: When this behavior is selected, the property will actually take the status deleted right at the import level. | |||

=====Sorting the properties===== | |||
It is now possible to rank properties (after selecting them) to change their order: | |||
