Property
A property is a user-defined attribute on any entity — element or relation.
Properties are how you describe things in Scopic. An element has no built-in attributes beyond a name and identity. Everything else — type, status, owner, date, notes, score — is a property the user adds.
A relation has two built-in structural fields (from and to). Everything else is a property.
What properties do
- Define what an element or relation is and how it’s classified
- Power filtering, sorting, and grouping in the database
- Drive Grouped layout on maps — the group-by dimension is always a single-select property
- Appear in the property panel of each entity’s page view
Vocabulary note
Equivalent to Kumu’s “Fields.” The term “field” is not used in Scopic.
