Create a proxy at a component level in RPA Desktop Design Studio to extract
the additional properties of that component.

## Before you begin

Configure a component. For more information, see [Use a component in RPA Desktop Design Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GDWUuqXRh2OXM2rX8UnZvw "Design automation projects by using components in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").

Role required: none

## About this task

Use the Create Proxy option to add or modify some functionalities of an already-existing class.

## Procedure

1. In the RPA Desktop Design Studio, on the Design surface, right-click either the Data In or Data Out port of a component and select Create Proxy.  
   For example, the proxy of the DateTime component appears as shown in the example.  
   Figure 1. Proxy component
2. Double-click the proxy component title bar to open the CHOOSE PROPERTIES dialog box.
3. In the CHOOSE PROPERTIES dialog box, select the applicable check boxes for the properties to be used.  
   For example, select the Day and DayOfWeek properties as shown in the example.  
   Figure 2. Choose Properties dialog box
4. Click OK.  
   If you hover over the Data Out port of the DateTime component after executing the component, you can see the Day as 27 and the DayOfWeek as Saturday in the following examples.
