sys_properties.list vs System Properties

[pauladams]

This may sound trivial but just trying to understand why it is so.

I see in the documentation it says type "sys_properties.list" (I know that tablename.list will open the corresponding table) in the navigator filter to bring the System Properties table and then edit or add a new property.

I also see system properties can be edited through the "System Properties" application menu.

So, "System Properties" module is used only for editing existing System Properties and "sys_properties.list" to be used for adding and editing the system properties?

Why didn't they provide a module with link to "sys_properties.list" under "System Properties"?

Hi Paul,

System properties is an application menu with properties categorized into different lists.

sys_properties.list is a table where all the properties get stored.

So, you will create a property using sys_properties.list and categorize it accordingly to see it under one of the modules of System properties application menu.

Hello Paul,

OOTB there is a module "All properties" which is defined under application menu "System properties". However, this is not visible because it is restricted to maint role only. To make the changes navigate to module from the navigation filter and search for a record "All properties"->Open the record and update the roles field to admin.
