Custom Data Objects

If the data you need is not available in the standard Propexo data model, you can create custom data objects to store any data you need.

Overview

We work hard to provide a universal and comprehensive data model for our customers. But sometimes a customer’s needs are so unique that our standard data model doesn’t account for a specific requirement. In such cases, we provide the ability to create custom data objects to store any data you need.

Reading Non-Standardized Data

Let’s take a hypothetical scenario where you have an agreement with a property manager to store a resident’s favorite color in a custom field in their property management system. Propexo can set up a customized transform to account for this non-standard field coming from your PMS integration and then serve it to you in our custom_data object on the residents model.
