Property Overrides

Content Type Content Type Report GrooperReview.Pages.Design

Displays a report of all properties overridden on Data Elements in derived Content Types.

Remarks

The Property Overrides report provides a comprehensive summary of all property overrides applied to Data Elements across the current Content Type and its descendants. Property overrides allow you to customize inherited data elements for specialized document types, enabling flexible adaptation of extraction, validation, and presentation logic.

This report helps users audit, review, and manage property overrides, ensuring that customizations are intentional and maintainable throughout the Content Type hierarchy.

Report Layout and Features

  • Header:
    Displays the total number of overridden properties found in the current Content Type and its descendants.
  • Table:
    Each row represents a unique property override and includes:
    • Data Element: The display path of the element, shown as a clickable link for navigation.
    • Kind: The type of Data Element (e.g., Field, Section, Table).
    • Property Name: The name of the overridden property (such as Required, Visible, or Display Name).
    • Override Count: The number of Content Types where this property is overridden.
  • Totals Row:
    Sums the total number of property overrides across all Data Elements and properties.
  • Navigation:
    Clicking a Data Element link opens its configuration in the design interface for further review or editing.

Usage Guidance

  • Use this report to audit your Content Type hierarchy for property overrides that may impact extraction, validation, or UI presentation.
  • Review the 'Override Count' column to identify properties that are frequently customized and may require standardization or documentation.
  • Click any Data Element link to jump directly to its configuration and review or edit the overridden property.
  • The totals row provides a quick summary of the overall level of customization present in the hierarchy.
