New objects to be classified allowed

For attributes in which objects can be referenced (References allowed property), you can use this property to control that new objects can be created temporarily. These objects are then created in the folder Objects to be classified sorted and can be sorted accordingly from there.

For this purpose, you can copy the attribute Objects to be classified under any category.

-Daeneis.disableTemporaryObjectsAttribute=true

This property controls whether the attribute is available in the model objects.

No rights validation

This property allows you to turn off the user rights validation for the category that contains an inverse attribute. In this case, a modeler no longer needs write permission to a model object that contains the inverse attribute.

If you activate this property for a category attribute, then this attribute can be edited programmatically via macros without auser rights validation taking place.

Ranking of the search hits

Always create relationship objects

See also: Chapter Attributed relationship.

References here may create objects

This property ensures that objects, which can be referenced in another object in the attribute with this property, can create a new object via drag & drop and are directly referenced in it.

Example:  

Only output objects can be created under the Output object. These output objects have the attribute Document in which documents can be referenced. If the attribute Document has the property References here may create objects and a specific document is dragged and dropped onto the object Output, a new object Output object is automatically created in which the document is referenced.

Single value result If you have configured a query that calculates the value of the attribute, you can use this property to control that the result should be single-valued.
