To Add the Common Properties to Multiple Item Types

  1. Add a Property Definition to the Item Types with common properties. For example, Dimensions.


  2. Add a New Property Type that you need to refer to the Property Definition added to the desired Item Types. For example, Property Type: Dimensions.


  3. In the newly created Property Type add properties that will be shared between Item Types. For example, in the property type Dimensions add the property definitions Length and Width.


  4. To assign the new Property Type to the Property Definition in the Item Types, select the common Property Definition from the Type drop-down (For example, Dimensions). Do this for the common properties in each Item Type.


The Common Properties are added to the desired Item Types.
