Creating a property definition

To create simple, required string properties that you can apply to a folder template, create IntelliProperties in the folder template definition as described in Creating an IntelliProperty definition. To create more advanced properties, use the Properties tab. On that tab, you can create database properties, fixed list properties, number properties and property relationships.
