User-added Properties
User-added Properties in RigBridge allow you to customize data fields within your plans, making it easier to manage operational parameters, instructions, and references dynamically. User-added Properties and references are deeply connected - once a property is created, it can be used as a reference in multiple sections of a plan. This enables consistent data use across different operational workflows.
How it looks
The view contains the following:
Header: Displays the chosen level and its assigned name. In this example, it indicates that we are under the Section titled Re-enter Well.
List of User-added Properties: Shows all User-added Properties under the chosen level in the Plan overview, organized into user-defined groups for better clarity and easier navigation.
Title: A name for the property to help users identify its purpose.
Target: The desired or expected measurement for a property, which can be numeric or text.
Min: The minimum allowable value for a property (numerical only).
Max: The maximum allowable value for a property (numerical only).
Unit: The measurement unit associated with the property.
Link: Displays all locations in the plan where a specific property is used. Clicking the link will show a modal window in which you can navigate to that location in the plan.
Edit properties: Allows you to add new properties, modify existing ones, or delete properties as needed. This require the right permissions.
User-added Properties can be found in multiple areas inside a plan:
Plan Editor → References tab: Displays all system-generated and user-added properties included in a given plan.
Operational parameters section: Allows properties to be used in defining drilling limits, targets, and other critical values.
Section where the text editor is available: Enables inserting user-added properties dynamically within instructions.
Whenever a user adds a property, it automatically becomes available in the References Tab, allowing for reuse and ensuring all linked sections update simultaneously if the property changes.

Add Specific Properties: Define attributes like Max Weight (tons) and Min Safe Load (tons).
Attach Properties to Parameters: Use them in Operational Parameters for accurate tracking.
Link Inside Instructions: Ensure all relevant sections reference the correct values dynamically.
Tips and tricks

Use References for Consistency: Ensure that the same values (e.g., safety limits) apply to all sections.
Update in One Place: Modify a property in the References Tab, and the change reflects everywhere it's linked.
