Properties are an integral component to FlexDeploy, which allow Plugins and Workflows to be customized and parameterized to support very flexible build and deployment needs. Property definitions are provided by [Plugins](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/plugins.md) or [Workflows](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/workflows.md), and their values are specified on Target Groups, Instances, or Projects depending on the defined scope.

# Property Scope

All properties are defined with either a Target, Instance, or Project scope.

* The ***Target*** scope is appropriate for those properties which will vary by Environment for each Target Group, but will be shared across all projects using a particular plugin or workflow.

* The ***Instance*** scope is appropriate for those properties which are technology specific and will be shared across all Projects and Environments using that SCM instance, Test Instance, or Issue Tracking System Instance.

* The ***Project*** scope is appropriate when properties values will vary by project.

The Plugin or Workflow will determine the scope for each property it defines. However, any Environment-Instance-scoped property can be overridden at the Project level if necessary.
