Nested Properties

In order to add an element or attribute to a subset as a sub-property of a type, this relationship must be captured explicitly. The SSGT will not do this automatically. Many properties belong to more than one type; other times a property may be added to a new type in an exchange.

• Any easy way to tell if a property is going to be added as a sub-property is to look at the Add button. For sub-properties, the button also includes a drop-down icon on the right side to allow users to set sub-property options. Other Add buttons do not have these options so they do not have this drop-drown.

Adding From Search Results

• Click the + icon next to a component to expand the list of sub-properties.
• From the sub-property list, click the Add button next to the property name.
• The property will be added to the appropriate Elements or Attributes section of the subset list on the left.
• The type, in not already in the subset, will be added to the Types section of the subset list on the left.
• Click the + icon next to the type in the subset list to view all of its sub-properties in the subset.

In the example below, element nc:OrganizationLocation is added to the subset as a sub-property of type nc:OrganizationType.

(1) The user expands the list of sub-properties for type nc:OrganizationType.
(2) The user adds element nc:OrganizationLocation to the subset as a sub-property of nc:OrganizationType.
(3) The SSGT adds the element to the subset list.
(4) The SSGT adds the type to the subset list along with its sub-property.

Adding From Type Pages

Adding sub-properties to a type will happen automatically for any property added to a subset from a type page, in the Contains section.

Adding nc:LengthUnitAbstract to the subset from type type page for type nc:LengthMeasureType will automatically add it as nested under the type.
