Properties are a way to add data to different areas of your Creative Force instance. Editorial Properties allows you to enrich your projects and deliverables with unique data that can be used in reporting and filtering.
Where to find Editorial Properties
Browse to the main menu in the top right corner of Gamma and select "Studio Settings". In the left sub-menu, click on the "Properties" tab. Here you will see a list of properties by entity - click the dropdown to reveal all of the available entities onto which you can add properties.
The following properties are unique to Editorial work in Creative Force:
Editorial Project Properties
Editorial Deliverable Properties
The following properties are shared between Ecomm and Editorial:
Product Properties
Sample Properties
User Properties
Location Properties
Container Properties
Note:
For Editorial, the maximum number of values in a List type property is 200. If the value exceeds this number, all the values in that list will not be synced.
Reserved Editorial Deliverable Property Definitions
Some properties come built into Creative Force by default. We call these "Reserved Properties." Here's what they do:
Property Name | Required | Definition |
Editorial Deliverable Code | No | Creative Force automatically assigns a unique code to each deliverable |
Editorial Deliverable Name | Yes | This is the name of your deliverable (usually the shot name) - this is the only one you must fill out! |
Editorial Deliverable Output Name | No | You can use this as a unique identifier in your file naming template |

Using Editorial Properties
The Editorial Properties that you set up are used as filters on the Editorial Production page and Deliverables page, as well as filters on the deliverables list within your projects.
This means that you can use these properties to customize your Production and Deliverables views. These views can be saved to more efficiently manage your work at a glance.
How to Add Properties to Your Projects and Deliverables
To update an existing project with project properties, navigate to “All” under Editorial Projects.
From the three-dot menu, select “Edit Project” and select the Properties tab.
Here, you’ll see all custom properties that were created under your studio settings. You can decide which property to display in this dialog here. Simply fill out the fields and press “Save”.
Similarly, to add update deliverable properties, navigate to the project in Editorial, and select “Edit Deliverable” from the three-dot menu.
