property mode

Each property has one of eleven property modes, determined in the Rule-Obj-Property rule. This is a permanent feature of a property that cannot be changed after you save a property.

The simplest property mode is Single Value. A Single Value property contains text that can represent HTML, a date or time, an identifier, a number, or a Boolean true/false value. On the clipboard, a Single Value mode corresponds to a Java String object. Properties with this mode can directly correspond to columns in the PegaRULES database. Properties with a mode other than Single Value are known as aggregate properties.

The modes can be viewed as variations of three types:

 

Single

Array or List

Group

Value List
