User-Defined Properties

Organization-Specific User-Defined Properties

You can create user-defined properties to keep information that is specific to your organization or business in the appropriate folders in the Project Tree. To create a user-defined property, follow these steps:

In the Properties tab, right-click and select Add User-Defined Property. The Add User-Defined Property window appears.
In the Name field, add a name that begins with a letter. The characters @ \ / * % # & $ ( ) ! ? < > ^ + ~ ` = { } [ ] | ; : ‘ " cannot be used in the name. Spaces cannot be used in the name.
In the Value field, enter a value for the user-defined property. Click OK. The user-defined property is added to the Properties section under User-Defined Properties.

SAS User-Defined Properties

SAS creates some user-defined properties that are used by the SAS Real-Time Decision Manager and for scoring that is performed using SAS In-Database processing, such as scoring within a database.

Here are the user-defined properties that are used by the SAS Real-Time Decision Manager. These fields must be completed by the user:

Property Name	Description
BusinessContext	Specifies the business context for which the project is used.
DbmsTable	Specifies the name of the input table that is used in scoring functions. This field should be specified for the project properties before you publish a scoring function if you plan to reference it with a scoring application or in SAS code.

When you publish a model to a database for the first time, SAS creates some project user-defined properties. Some of these property values are assigned by SAS after you complete the Publish Name field in the Publish Models to a Database window.

Here are the publish models to a database user-defined properties.

Property Name	Description
ModelNameForEP	Specifies the publish name of the model that has been published to the database using the SAS Embedded Process.
ScoringFunctionName	Specifies the user-defined portion of the scoring function name. You can modify this property value only by changing the name in the Publish Models to a Database window. The name must start with a letter or underscore. The name cannot start with a special character or number such as 0123456789@/*%#&()?<>^-.
ScoringFunctionPrefix	Specifies a prefix for the scoring function name. The prefix has a length of 10 characters and in the format of Yyymmddnnn. You cannot modify this value. The naming convention for the prefix is the following: Y is a literal character and is fixed for all prefixes. yymmdd is the Greenwich Mean time (GMT) timestamp of when you select the Publish Modelsto a database menu option. nnn is a counter that increments by one each time the scoring function is successfully completed.
