Custom properties can be used to introduce concepts specific to your organization into dScribe. They are used to further enrich the documentation of assets, facilitate filtering and support granular access policies.
These properties can be managed via the Admin Portal > Properties.
On the Properties page, you can:
Create new properties.
Edit or delete. Individual properties can be deleted directly from the properties table list. After selecting a property for deletion, a pop-up will appear showing the current assets linked to this property.
Manage configuration settings to control which assets have a property enabled.
View the number of assets using a specific property.

Property Types
Each property is of a specific type, defining its behaviour and available options.

Security-enabled Properties
If you would like to use a custom property as context for your authorization model, you can set that property as security enabled:
Doing so will make that property available when defining Contribution Policies:
In the example above, users receive Create+Edit+Delete permissions on all asset types where Domain = 'Finance' and Validation status = "Not validated".
Note that only properties of type dropdown can be security-enabled.
Rearranging custom properties per Asset Type
Each custom property can be linked to any of the asset types in dScribe. Once they have been linked to an asset type, they can be rearranged in that asset type's layout. See Asset Types & Layout.
