Object properties are automatically loaded in to the application based on the components that are installed. The following tables list a set of object properties that are used in IFS Maintenance and IFS Service Management.
| Property Name | Description | Possible Property Values |
| AUTO_AUTH_SIGN | Display the authorizer's signature automatically for personnel lines. | TRUE or FALSE |

| AUTO_INHERIT_WO_SIGN | Determines if modifications in the Executed By field in the Prepare Work Order/General tab should affect new and existing jobs and operation lines. If this property is set to TRUE, all empty jobs and non allocated operation lines inherit the executed by value and error messages are sent if the maintenance organization or craft ID is not valid for the signature. It also replaces the executed by value on jobs/operation lines where an executer exists. If this property is set to FALSE, a change in the General tab does not affect any new or existing jobs or operation lines. If this property is set to QUERY, a message inquiring if the modification should affect existing jobs and operation lines is sent to the user. | TRUE, FALSE or QUERY |

If this property is set to TRUE, the queried interval is considered and all work orders and PM actions fully or partially planned within the search interval are shown in lower Gantt. If this property is set to FALSE, then both the planned start and planned finish date/time of the work orders and PM actions needs to be within the queried time interval. | TRUE OR FALSE |
| PERIOD_DISTR_METHOD | Determines what method should be used for period allocations on service contracts. Use Proportional to allocate the amount according to the exact number of days that falls into each period within the date interval. Use Even to allocate the amount evenly between each period within the date interval, regardless of the number of days in each period. Use Mixed to allocate the amount according to the exact number of days that falls into each period which is not completely covered by the date interval, e.g. the first and last period. All periods completely included in the date interval are allocated evenly, regardless of the number of days in each period. | Proportional, Even or Fixed |
| PERMIT_CHANGE_DATE | Determines if the Valid To date of a permit can be changed once the status is set to Preparation Approved or Released. | TRUE or FALSE |

Also determines whether resource bookings should be created automatically when Planned Start, Planned Finish, Planned Men, Planned Hours, Executed By is entered on Work Order Operations. | TRUE or FALSE |
| SC_INV_PLAN_METHOD | Decides whether the RMB option "Generate Invoice Lines for Preview..." in Service Contract window will be run instantly or as a background job. ONLINE means instant generation of invoice plan detail lines. BATCH means a background job for the generation of invoice plan detail lines. The following information message is shown if it is decided to run as a background job. "The execution will be started as a background job.
