Add property binding

Public properties for both AVEVA OMI apps and Industrial Graphics that contain custom properties are visible and configurable in the Layout Editor. Configuration consists of overriding default settings such as enabling or disabling a property, setting the binding mode of a property, or changing a string value. You can view the properties of an app or graphic by selecting the pane that contains the app or graphic and then selecting the Properties grid. Private properties are not exposed and not configurable through the Layout Editor.

Note: Although the Industrial Graphic Editor enables you to view graphic custom properties that are set to private, the properties cannot be overridden, either in the Industrial Graphic Editor or Layout Editor, unless you first set the property to public in the Industrial Graphic Editor. You cannot view graphic custom properties or app properties set to private from the Layout Editor. If you want to override an app property that is set to private, you must change it programmatically. There is no graphical interface for changing app properties from private to public.

App property binding can be set to static, dynamic/read-only, dynamic/write-only, or dynamic/read-write, as follows:

When you override an app custom property, a "revert" symbol appears to the right of the property. This signifies that the default value of the property has been overridden. You can revert to the default value of the property by clicking on or touching the revert symbol. The revert symbol does not appear when you override other app properties, such as general or appearance properties.
