--- title: "Properties of resources" canonical: "https://docs.cuesystem.com/space/TAM/157679646/Properties%20of%20resources" format: markdown --- > Macro (toc) Properties are used to provide additional information about resources. These are user-defined attributes (e.g., available equipment, credit card payment option, phone number, etc.). These properties can then be used in CUE Assist and CUE Navigation applications, for example when filtering resources that best match your requirements, in room details, or during reservations. > ℹ️ Each resource can have **multiple** properties. ## Where property settings take effect ### In CUE Assist When creating a new reservation, the user can filter resources based on specific requirements. **Usage Examples** - Filtering meeting rooms based on required equipment (projector, video conferencing, flipchart, etc.). - Filtering parking spaces based on width or type (standard, accessible, electric). - Displaying detailed resource information in the timeline or floor plan. **How it works** - Properties marked as “Filterable” are displayed in the filter section when creating a reservation. - Properties marked as “Visible” are displayed in the resource details (Location detail). - The user can combine multiple properties to more precisely select a suitable resource. ### In CUE Navigation The user can search for resources based on specific requirements. **Usage Examples** - Searching for a medical office by the doctor’s name or phone number. - Searching for a store that accepts card payments. - Searching for a meeting room based on specific equipment. **How it works** - Properties can be searchable by name. - Properties can be searchable by the values they can take. - Properties are displayed in the resource details when the resource is selected as the start or target location. ## Properties by data type Each property has an assigned data type that defines which values can be entered. ### Boolean A binary data type, i.e. YES/NO **Usage Examples** - Barrier-free acces: YES - Air conditioning: YES - Video conferencing capability: NO **Where it takes effect** - Displayed as a checkbox - Simple and fast filtering ### Number Natural number, i.e. 1, 2, 3, … **Usage Examples** - Number of seats: 12 - Number of monitors: 2 - Building floor: 3 **Where it takes effect** - Enables numeric filtering (greater than, less than, equals) ### Decimal Decimal number **Usage Examples** - Parking space width: 2.5 (meters) - Room area: 45.6 (m²) - Ceiling height: 3.2 (meters) **Where it takes effect** - Allows precise specification of dimensions - Filtering by value range ### String Text, i.e. any sequence of characters (letters, numbers, or symbols) **Usage Examples** - Equipment description: “Epson EB-2250U projector” - Phone number: "+420 123 456 789" - Note: “Access only with special permission” **Where it takes effect** - Flexible text information - Searching using text strings ### Array List of multiple values (items) **Usage Examples** - Available equipment: ["Projector", "Whiteboard", "Video conferencing", "Flipchart"] - Table types: ["Conference table", "Meeting table", "U-shape"] **Where it takes effect** - The user can filter by one or more values from the list. - In the grid, an expandable detail (+/–) is displayed to show all items. - The default value displays the selected item from the list. **How it works** - Each item in the array can have its own name and image. - Items can be arranged in a specific order. - The multi-filter operator allows conditions to be combined (and/or). > ℹ️ Use the **+**/**-** buttons in the left column to expand/collapse the properties of this type. ### HTML content Direct URL to the resource’s web page **Usage Examples** - Link to the store’s website - Link to the reservation system - Link to the restaurant’s online menu **Where it takes effect** - Displayed as a clickable link - May contain HTML formatting ## Property settings overview This section provides an overview of the property settings screen. Here you can define new properties and edit existing ones. The table lists all defined properties and their key parameters. ![image-20260107-104632.png](media://468e24d7-1c8a-4714-af00-ca19a049fadf) ### Image Displays a preview image of the property (if configured). **Why it is used** - For quick visual identification of the property **Where it takes effect** - Displayed in CUE Assist and CUE Navigation ### Name Displays the name of the resource property. **Where it takes effect** - The name is displayed during filtering in CUE Assist. - It is displayed in the resource details. - It is used for searching in CUE Navigation. ### Resource type Displays the list of resource types where the given property can be used. **Where it takes effect** - It defines which resource types the property is relevant for. - The property is displayed only for resources of the selected type. **Usage Examples** - The “Projector” property can be assigned only to the “Meeting room” type. - The “Width” property can be assigned only to the “Parking place” type. ### Data type Displays the data type of the given property (Boolean, Number, Decimal, String, Array, HTML content). **Where it takes effect** - It defines how the property is displayed. - It affects filtering options. ### Default value Displays the default property value, which is used for resources where no specific value has been defined. **Why it is used** - When a specific value needs to be defined only for a limited number of resources, while the default value applies to the rest. **Where it takes effect** - The default value is used if the user does not set a different value for a specific resource. - The specific value is set directly on the resource in the *Properties* tab, in the *Resource value* column. **How it works** - If the default value is changed, it is applied to all resources that currently use the default value. - For resources with an individually defined value, the resource value remains unchanged. - In the overview, the default value is displayed as follows for different data types: - *Boolean*: Checkbox (checked/unchecked) - *Number/Decimal*: Numeric value or “Not set” - *String/HTML content*: Text value or “Not set” - *Array*: Checkbox (checked/unchecked) - available after expanding the property by clicking the plus icon in the first column, where default values are displayed for individual items. ### Filterable If selected, resources can be filtered by the given property in CUE Assist. **Where it takes effect in CUE Assist** - When creating a new reservation (either via the Timeline or Floorplans). - After expanding the relevant resource type, a table appears where requirements for the properties can be defined. - Subsequently, only options that meet the specified requirements are offered for selection. **How it works** - Each property has its own checkbox. - In addition, the checkbox in the column header allows all properties on the current page to be selected or deselected at once. - Changes must be saved using the :save: button. ### Visible If selected, the property is displayed for the given resource in CUE Assist and CUE Navigation. **Where it takes effect in CUE Assist** - When creating a new reservation (either via the Timeline or Floorplans). - After selecting the resource, the properties are displayed under the Location Detail tab. **Where it takes effect in CUE Navigation** - When selecting a start or target location, the properties are displayed in the details of the selected resource. **How it works** - Each property has its own checkbox. - In addition, the checkbox in the column header allows all properties on the current page to be selected or deselected at once. - Changes must be saved using the :save: button. ### Description Displays the description of the resource property. **Why it is used** - This is an optional field that provides more detailed information about the meaning of the property. ### Searchable in navigation by name If this option is selected, resources can be searched by the name of this property in CUE Navigation. **Where it takes effect** - When searching in CUE Navigation. - The user can enter the property name or part of it as a search criterion. ### Searchable in navigation by value If this option is selected, resources can be searched by the value of this property in CUE Navigation. > ℹ️ For properties of the array type, a default value is not defined. Instead, a list of items is configured. These items are assigned to individual resources and, for search purposes, the items function as property values. **Where it takes effect** - When searching in CUE Navigation. - The user can enter the property value as a search criterion. **Usage Examples** - If a resource (e.g. a medical office) has a property set to “Doctor Smith”, the resource will be found when the user searches for “Smith”. > ℹ️ For properties of the boolean type, searching by value is not supported. ## Property action buttons ### Expand all / Collapse all :expand: :collapse: Clicking the button expands or collapses all properties of the array type. > ℹ️ The button toggles between *Expand all* and *Collapse all* depending on the current state, allowing the list to be expanded or collapsed as needed. **Why it is used** - For a quick overview of all items. - Improves navigation within large lists. ### Reset :reset: Clicking the button restores all changes in the *Visible* and *Filterable* columns to the previously saved state. **How it works** - All unsaved changes will be discarded. - If no changes have been made, the button is disabled. ### Save :save: Clicking the button saves all changes made in the *Visible* and *Filterable* columns. **How it works** - Saves all newly made changes. - If no changes have been made, the button is disabled. ### Set rank :setrank: Clicking this button allows you to define a custom order of properties as they are displayed in CUE Navigation and CUE Assist. **How it works** - In the left-hand section of the window that opens after clicking the button, properties can be reordered using drag and drop according to your preferences. - Any changes made must be saved by clicking the *SAVE* button. **Where it takes effect** - In CUE Navigation in the resource details when searching for a start or target. - In CUE Assist in the resource Location Detail when creating a new reservation. ## Adding a new resource property A new property can be added by clicking the :new: button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
