Properties must be a same kind of two-dimensional variant array that GetProperties returns except that only properties whose values are set are listed. First column contains property names and second column contains values. If setting of any of the listed properties fails, the whole operation is cancelled.
Synopsis:
SCModel.SetProperties(ElementId, Properties)
Parameters:
ElementId: Integer. ID of some element.
Properties: Array. Two-dimensional array of property names and values. The following properties are supported depending on the element type:
ElementID refers to a scorecard:
NAME, String
SYMBOL, String. Listed only for backward compatibility, please use IDENTIFIER instead.
IDENTIFIER, String
DESCRIPTION, String
OWNER, Integer (user ID)
PARENTSCORECARDID, Integer

INHERITANCEOPTIONS. A two-dimensional array with 2 columns. The rows are a freely selectable set of the following inheritance options in the first column (one option per row) with the second column containing a flag indicating whether the option should be enabled (1) or disabled (0):
•name
•description
•elementtype
•measureunit
•roles
•valuesettings
•periodlevel
•accumulationrule
•viewsettings
•seriessettings
•values
•scorecardstructure
•scorecardstructure_noref
•scorecardstructure_addonly
ElementID refers to a measure:
NAME, String
SYMBOL, String. Listed only for backward compatibility, please use IDENTIFIER instead.
IDENTIFIER, String
DESCRIPTION, String
PARENTELEMENTID, Integer
MEASUREUNITID, Integer
INCHARGE, Integer (user ID). Sets a user to the primary role defined for the element.
ACCUMULATIONRULE, Integer:
•Sum = 0
•Average = 1
•Min = 2
•Max = 3
•First = 4
•Last = 5
•Sum (ignore null) = 6
•Average (ignore null) = 7
•None = 8
•Latest = 10
VALUESETTINGID, Integer
PERIODLEVELID, Integer
ELEMENTSERIES. A two-dimensional array with 6 columns. One line is defined per ElementSeries and the array has the following columns (properties):
•Series Id, Integer
•ElementSeries Label, String. The series label defined in the Element Properties dialog.
•ElementSeries UnitId, Integer
•ElementSeries AccumulationRule, see the ACCUMULATIONRULE property description for reference about possible values
•ElementSeries Inputtype. The possible values are 0 (Manual input), 1 (Formula), 2 (SQL), or 3 (ADO). Integer.
•ElementSeries Formula (empty string if formula does not exist). String.
CHARTTEMPLATE (name of the template). String.
CHARTTEMPLATEID (ID of the template). Integer.
ROLES. A two-dimensional array of roles defined for the measure. The array contains one line per role, and the first line is the primary role corresponding to "In charge" user in earlier versions of QPR ScoreCard. The array has the following columns:
•id, Integer. ID of the role
•name, String. Name of the role. Use an empty string here as the SetProperties function uses only ID-based matching.
•userId, Integer. ID of the user assigned to the role.
DRILLDOWNOPTIONS, a two-dimensional array with two columns. The rows are a freely selectable set of the following drill down options in the first column (one option per row) with the second column containing the value of a subproperty or a flag indicating whether the option should be enabled (1) or disabled (0):
•enableautomaticreferencing, Boolean: true | 1 | false | 0.
•drilldowndepth, Integer.
•referencewithsymbol, Boolean: true | 1 | false | 0. Reference elements with matching Identifier.
•referencewithname, Boolean: true | 1 | false | 0. Reference elements with matching Name.
•removeunmatching, Boolean: true | 1 | false | 0. Removes unmatching reference elements.
ElementID refers to a period level:
NAME, String
SYMBOL, String. Listed only for backward compatibility, please use IDENTIFIER instead.
IDENTIFIER, String
DESCRIPTION, String
PERIODLEVELPREFIX, String
PERIODLEVELTYPE, Integer:
•Year = 100
•Half year = 200
•Third = 300
•Quarter = 400
•Month = 500
•Week = 600
•Day = 700
•Custom = 800
PERIODLEVELACCUMULATION, Integer:
•First day of period = 0
•Last day of period = 1
•Middle of period = 2

Note: In the case the ElementID points to a reference element, any properties not visible for reference elements are set to the original element instead. Reference elements can have the following properties: order, level, index, parentelementid, referenceid, sourcemodelid, sourceobjectid, and scorecardid.
Required Rights:
At least update rights to the element. BASESCORECARD and INHERITANCEOPTIONS properties require administrator or model administrator rights.
