Which of the following is a valid first step in creating application properties?

• A. Create a system property category
• B. Add properties
• C. Order properties
• D. Create a properties module

Answer: (A)

Grouping and organizing application settings begins with creating a system property category. This category acts as the container for related properties, giving you a named place to store and manage them, and it keeps the list navigable and manageable in the UI. Once that category exists, you can add the individual properties inside it, specifying their names, data types, default values, and descriptions. Ordering properties or creating a properties module are steps that come after defining and organizing the properties; they refine how things appear or how you navigate them rather than establishing the foundational structure.
