Properties

Properties in Gramax are additional parameters for articles that are configured within a catalog and help structure content and generate reports.

Article properties are set in the right navigation under Properties. Click Add property to add or change a value. Reorder properties by dragging.

For example, you can use properties for task management, where each article represents a task with specific team members, reviewers, and statuses.

Property types

• Numeric. Stores a numerical value. Example: Estimate — used to indicate the number of days required to complete a task.

• Flag. Represents a Yes/No or tag on an article. Example: Important — marks articles/tasks critical for a release.

• Single-Select List. A dropdown with a list of values where only one can be selected. Example: Assignee — contains team members' names; one person is assigned.

• Multi-Select List. A list where multiple values can be selected. Example: Subsystem — lists components affected by a new task, allowing multiple selections.

• Date. Captures the current date. Example: Create date — records the task's creation date.

• Text. Allows free-form text input. Example: Comment — used for additional notes or context about the task.

Properties on the documentation portal

Properties can be displayed on the documentation portal — readers will see them in the article and can filter search results by them. To enable this, turn on the Show to readers option in the properties editor.
