Representation Characteristics

File Representations make use of the new XProperty model to distinguish between different representations of the same RepresentationType. For example, a resolution characteristic may be defined to allow different values for different representations within a RepresentationType.

Note that there is a known issue that modifications to the RepresentationType can take a significant amount of server processing (see the Release Notes for details on IR-053121). This will cause the server to appear frozen to end users.

We recommend performing any modifications to characteristics as an offline action. Additionally, the database should be backed up prior to modifying the characteristics.
