To Assign User-Defined Properties to Parcels

After you create a User-Defined Classification, you can assign it to the Parcels collection using the Site Parcels Properties dialog box. The properties within the classification are displayed as columns in the Parcel item list view.

1. In the drawing, define a User-Defined Classification for parcels. For more information, see To Create a User-Defined Property Classification.
2. Define the properties in the classification. For more information, see To Create a User-Defined Property.
3. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand Sites <Site Name> and then click the Parcels collection.
4. Right-click and click Parcel Properties.
5. In the Site Parcel Properties dialog box, click the Composition tab.
6. On the Composition tab, under User-Defined Property Classification, select the User-Defined Classification you want to assign to the SiteParcel. This makes your custom properties available to all parcels that are within the site.
   Note: If you defined default values for your properties, the default value is used for all parcels in the site that do not already have a value for this property.
7. Click OK.
8. In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, select the site parcel to which you applied the classification by clicking Sites <Site Name> Parcels collection.
9. In the parcel list view window, right-click a column heading. Select the user-defined properties you want to display in the list view window.
   Note: You can arrange the display of columns in the list view by dragging column headings. For more information, see To Work With Toolspace List Views.

Next, you can define values for the custom properties by entering data in the list view. You can also set up label styles to display these values, and then label the parcels. For more information, see Exercise 2: Creating a Label Style That Displays a User-Defined Property.
