Click [Add Property]. A new entry is added to the list of properties.
Enter a string in the Name field to identify the property.
Enter a string in the Identifier field that will be used to uniquely identify the property within XperienCentral.

Note
Once you have entered a string and saved the template, the identifier can no longer be modified, therefore be sure to plan out carefully beforehand what your scheme is for template identifiers.

Select the property type from the drop-down list. The options are:

Type	Description
String	A field that accepts any string of characters. The input field can be either a single line or a multiple line field. Which kind is determined by the Subtype field defined in the next step.
Boolean	A checkbox that can either be selected or cleared.
Integer	A single line field that accepts a positive or negative integer (no decimal points).
Date	A date picker which can be used to select a date. The Subtype field defined in the next step determines whether the field selects a date or a combination of date and time.

Select the subtype of the property from the drop-down list. The options are:

Property Type	Subtypes
String	StringSingleLine - A single line field. StringMultiLine - A field that accepts multiple lines of strings.

The ability to add modular template properties to facets in Advanced Search was introduced in XperineCentral R30.

It is possible to register a modular content template property as a search facet. When you do so, the facet can be searched for in Advanced Search. To register a property as a search facet, follow these steps:

`Solr Document Fields`

If the search facet is set to unique (with or without facet) or combined (with or without facet), a new Solr document field is added for the property in the content item using this Modular Template (either a modular content type based on this template or a page with this template assigned as page metadata). The name of the field depends on the search facet type:

Unique - wmamodularcontent0[template identifier]0[property identifier] Combined - wmamodularcontent0[property identifier]

Since combined facets are not template specific, the template identifier is not part of the field name. Unique facets are template specific, which is why the template identifier is part of the field name. The search facets can subsequently be used in Solr queries (see https://wiki.gxsoftware.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=96469149 for some examples).

`Reordering Properties in a Template`

The properties of the template that is linked to a modular content type appear for that content type in the "Basic" tab of the Properties Widget. For each instance of the modular content type you can fill in the template properties to further identify/describe it. For example:

The ability to add modular template properties to facets in Advanced Search was introduced in XperineCentral R30.

It is possible to register a modular content template property as a search facet. When you do so, the facet can be searched for in Advanced Search. To register a property as a search facet, follow these steps:

Expand the "Search index" drop-down list under the template property.

Select the facet definition for the property. The options are:

Option	Description
Disabled	The property is not used as a search facet and no Solr document field is created.
Unique without facet	Creates a Solr document field for the property but no facet.
Unique with facet	Creates an Advanced Search facet and a Solr document field for the property. Values of this property will always be shown as a unique facet in Advanced search and it will not contain values of other properties from other templates,
Combined without facet	Creates a Solr document field for the property but no facet. If another property in another template has the same identifier and its search facet is also set to "Combined without facet". the values of these properties will be shown in a single, combined, facet when the above circumstance is met.
Combined with facet	Creates an Advanced Search facet and a Solr document field for the property. Iif another property in another template has the same identifier and its search facet is also set to "Combined with facet", the values of these properties will be searchable as a single, combined term when the above circumstance is met.

Select "Multiple" if you want to allow multiple values for the facet to be searchable.
