Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Every Microsoft Dynamics AX application object in the Application Object Tree (AOT) has a set of properties. To view and modify property values, right-click an application object, and then select Properties to open the Properties sheet. This topic describes the Properties sheet and how to modify property values. For descriptions of individual properties, see Properties of AOT Elements.
By default, the sorting order of properties displayed in the Properties sheet is determined by their relationship. Similar properties are positioned together. To sort properties alphabetically:
-
Click Tools > Options.
-
On the Options form, select Development > Property sheet > Sort alphabetically.
-
Click Apply.

By default, the Properties sheet is docked on the right side of the Development Workspace. To change docking location or options, right-click the Properties sheet title bar, and then select another option on the shortcut menu. |
Most property settings can be modified. Read-only property settings are unavailable. To modify a property in the Properties sheet, select a property, and then enter a new value or select a new value from the drop-down list. Many properties have default values. When you change a default property value, the property name and value is bold in the Properties sheet.
You can modify the common properties of multiple application objects at the same time. If a common property value is different for the selected application objects, the property value is blank.
You can also modify property values by using X++ code using the ::setProperty method.
