I'm looking at the "Classification Specific Properties" in the Web Help of ARAS. I'm not sure if my web help is out of date of if I'm missing a step. When I get to step 6.Click on the properties icon
.
Select Software's Properties, build_number, I can't find the Software Properties in my Unused Properties selection. Is this stored in another area of the form or is this still possible? I know this article is 7 years old and some major changes have happened since then. Below is the walk through. Thank you for your help.
To add a class
specific property: From TOC, Administration folder, select ItemTypes, search for Part, and open Part for
edit. Add a new property, name it Build Number. Click on the Class Path
cell of the new property to open the class path form. Select Software, and exit. Save Part. From TOC, Administration folder, select Forms, search for Part,
and open the Part form for edit. Click on the properties icon Place the new field on the form. Select the Field Physical
tab. Uncheck the Visible check box. This property
will automatically become visible when a Part classified as Software is created,
but will remain invisible for all others. Save, Unlock and Exit
from the Part form. You might want to edit the class structure first, or perhaps add new classes,
and then add properties to the newly defined classes.
. Select Software's
Properties, build_number.

Hi
You probably figured it out already, but to aid someone who has a similar query, take a look at how Aras handles the "Document Size" field in the "Document" item type and forms. The property is added in the item type and made class specific, and in the form a control is created which references that property. In the "field physical" tab the "visible" checkbox is then unchecked.
I hope this helped...
