Field property strategies allow you to determine under what conditions a field may appear in the Attribute Editor’s object editor. Once you have created a field property strategy it will be available in the ArcFM Properties Manager. To assign a field property strategy, right click an object in the ArcCatalog TOC and select ArcFM Properties Manager. Select the Field Info tab. Highlight an attribute name and select the custom strategy from the appropriate field property (e.g., Allow NULL Values, Allow Mass Attribute Update, Reset After Create). For example, you may create a field property strategy that disables Mass Attribute Update based on user name. The user names of the users who are not allowed to use Mass Attribute Update may be kept in a table. The field property strategy searches the table for the user name of the current user. If the user name is found, Mass Attribute Update is disabled. If the user name is not found, Mass Attribute Update is enabled. |

All field property strategies must be registered in the FieldPropertyStrategy component category. You may use the IMMRegInCat interface to do this programmatically.
You may use the IMMFieldProperty interface to create a custom field property strategy that displays fields based on any number of criteria such as user role, user name, design status, etc.
