Filtering Views Selectively Using Properties

Each Perl view object has properties that correspond to properties of server-side managed objects.

• For each simple property (string, Boolean, numeric data type), including inherited simple properties, the SDK creates an accessor method. The accessor method name is the same as the property name.
• Arrays of properties become arrays of properties of the same name.

Because many of the server-side managed objects have a large number of properties, accessing only a small number of objects can potentially result in noticeable performance degradation. You use a properties filter to populate the view object only with properties you are interested in to avoid that problem.
