System and Common Properties
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Most application objects in the Application Object Tree (AOT) have a standard set of system properties. The system properties are read-only.
In Microsoft Dynamics AX, the properties for any item in the AOT can be seen in the Properties window. To start the Properties window, right-click an AOT node, and then click Properties. On the Categories tab in the Properties window, many system properties are listed under the Statistics node.
This topic lists additional common properties that are repeated on many, but not all AOT nodes.
The following table shows the system properties that are found on almost all AOT nodes. All are read-only.
