Displaying attributes in Property rules

To select which attributes to display for the property rules, modify the type list or the attribute list for property rules.

By default, all the attributes of the selected object type are available, excepted attributes beginning with r_, a_, or i_, such as r_modified_date or a_content_type. To hide attributes that are visible by default, add them to an exclusion list. To make available attributes that are hidden by default, add them to an inclusion list.

Custom types created from dm_sysobject or dm_document object type automatically inherit of the same searchable attributes. The attributes available or excluded for the dm_sysobject or dm_document object types are also available or excluded for the derived object.

The following procedure describes how to display or hide attributes.

To display or hide an attribute:

Navigate to <DA webapp directory>\webcomponent\config\admin\category.
Open the qualifierrules_component.xml file.
Under the <attribute_list> element, add an entry for the custom type whose attribute display you want to modify or locate the <type id> element that exists for the dm_sysobject and dm_document object types.
For example:
```
<attribute_list>
	<type id=’my_custom_type’>
```
Under the <type id> element, add the attributes to display to the <inclusion_attributes> element, and add the attributes to hide to the <exclusion_attributes> element.
By default, all the attributes of the selected object type are available; to hide them, add them to the exclusion list.
Attributes that are hidden by default begin with r_, a_, or i_; to make them available, add them to the inclusion list.
For example:
```
<attribute_list>
		<type id=’my_custom_type’>
			<exclusion_attributes>
				<attribute>my_custom_attribute1</attribute>
				<attribute>my_custom_attribute2</attribute>
			<exclusion_attributes>
			<inclusion_attributes>
				<attribute>my_custom_attribute3</attribute>
			<inclusion_attributes>
		</type>
</attribute_list>
```
