System-Defined Properties

The following properties are defined by the system. System-defined properties can be applied to the current content item or to any branding object associated with the current content item. A property applies to the value of the expression (to the left of the dot). If the property is not preceded by a dot, it applies to the current content item.

IMPORTANT: The names of these are properties reserved for use by the Branding Engine. If you create a property with the same name, errors might occur.
