Using a Workflow
A new MetaProperty can be created and automatically assigned to a MetaClass via the Create new MetaProperty workflow. This workflow guides the user through the creation and configuration procedure of a MetaProperty and relates it to the selected MetaClass .

- Set at least name, description and data type
- Change the MetaProperty ’s category if necessary
- Save the changes
- Optional configuration:
- - Reference
- - Selective list

- - Format
- - Validation flag
- - Number of index keys

NEEDSVALIDATION
- explizite Speicherung des Validierungszeitstempels
- zB Verwendung am Client: der Wert dieser Eigenschaft muss am Client validiert, dh. zumindest einmal angeklickt, werden. Bei Verwendung der CLS_TASK Klassifizierung wird dieses Objekt als Finished gekennzeichnet, sobald ALLE solch konfigurierten MetaEigenschaften validiert sind.
