You can extend the Business Object Model (BOM) with custom properties that allow you to attach information to business elements, specify custom value editors, and use properties that existed in previous versions of JRules.

To add a custom property to a business element:

  1. In the Outline view, click the business element to which you want to add a custom property.
  2. In the BOM Editor, in the Custom Properties section, click Add.
    3. A new property newProp of value null appears in the table.
  3. Edit the name and value of the property in the table.
  4. Save your BOM.
    5. The custom property is now attached to the business element.
