# Properties

Properties have a label, for humans using the UI, and a key for developers and agents using the API, which is in camel case.

For example, if you have a `Cat` entity type, and you add a property for `Temperament`, the key would be `temperament`.

A property can be one of the following types:

- [Text](#text)
- [Number](#number)
- [Checkbox](#checkbox)
- [Date](#date)
- [Date with Precision](#date-with-precision)
- [Number with Unit](#number-with-unit)
- [Price](#price)
- [Relationship](#relationship)
- [Select](#select)
- [URL](#url)

## Text

A simple text input.

## Number

A simple number input.

## Checkbox

A simple yes or no input.

## Date

A simple date input, with no timezone.

## Date with Precision

A date input which allows you to define a day, month, quarter, year, or a full precision, with a time and timezone.

This is useful for something like the release date of a product, which can often be a release _window_ when the product is initially announced.

## Number with Unit

A number with a specific unit of measurement.

For example, the top speed of a car might be measured in miles per hour or kilometres per hour, depending on where you're based.

We have a growing library of units available which you can use, or you can define your own - it's up to you.

## Price

A price with a currency, which defaults to USD.

## Relationship

A relationship with another entity. You can choose to restrict a relationship to entities of a particular type, or set of types.

## Select

A dropdown select menu which allows you to add new values easily.

## URL

A URL-specific text input.
