# Managing extended properties

Configure extended properties to provide additional information about PingAccess applications.

Extended properties that you configure on the **Settings > System > Extended Properties** page become available to all PingAccess applications. Whenever you create or update an application afterward, you can define values for any of the configured extended properties relevant to that application.

## Defining extended properties

### Steps

1. In the PingAccess admin console, go to **Settings > System > Extended Properties** and click **+ Add Property**.

2. Enter information into the **Extended Properties** table as follows:

   1. In the **Name** field, enter a unique name for the property.

   2. (Optional) In the **Description** field, enter a description for the extended property.

   3. If the extended property should allow multiple values, select the **Multivalued** checkbox.

      |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
      | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
      |   | * If you create a single-valued property initially, you can select the **Multivalued** checkbox later without any issues.

      * If you configure a multivalued property initially and want to clear the **Multivalued** checkbox later, you must reconfigure every application that has multiple values configured for that extended property first. |

   4. Click **Save**.

3. To create more properties, click **+ Add Property** and repeat step 2 as necessary.

### Next steps

After creating an extended property, you must apply it to each application you want to use it with. Configure the **Extended Properties** tab of each application as described in [Applying extended properties to applications](pa-applying-extended-properties-to-applications.html).

## Editing and deleting extended properties

### Steps

1. Click **Settings**, then go to **System > Extended Properties**.

2. Click to expand the notification publisher you want to edit or delete.

3. To edit an extended property:

   1. Click the field that you want to edit and make the desired changes.

   2. Click **Save**.

4. To delete an extended property:

   1. Click the **Delete** icon.
