# Properties (Project Management)
Project properties are separeted into several categories: **General** (i.e. out-of-the-box properties, those marked with a \* are mandatory ), **Custom properties** (i.e. defined by the Xygeni administrator) and **Tags**.
### Project's Out-of-the-box Properties
Xygeni comes with some out-of-the-box project properties (i.e. properties that are common for all the projects and part of the predefined Xygeni configuration). Out-of-the-box properties cannot be deleted (although you can freely assign values to them)
### Project's Custom Properties
To create a Custom Property, got to Project Management page and open any project (by clicking on  icon) . A slide with the details of the project will open.
Under the Custom Properties, you can click on the **Add property** link to define the new Custom Property.
Provide a name and the values for the custom property.
After saving, you will be able to see the new property added to the Custom Properties section.
Just select the appropriate value for the edited project and click on Update button to save changes.
{% hint style="info" %}
The new custom property will appear in all your projects. Until you assign a specific value for a project, the value of the custom property for that project will be empty (no value)
{% endhint %}
To delete a custom property, just click on the trash button that appears to the right of the property.
{% hint style="info" %}
Once you have created a custom property, that **property can be used as a filter in the Prioritization Funnels**. Please see [Prioritization Funnels](/introduction-to-xygeni/prioritization-funnels.md) for further info.
{% endhint %}
### Setting project's Custom Properties from the CLI (-p | --prop)
The Xygeni CLI has the ability to assign a custom project property to the project under analysis.
{% hint style="info" %}
If the custom property for your project does not yet exist, it will be generated automatically.
{% endhint %}
For doing that, you should run `xygeni scan -d -p ":"` or `xygeni scan -d --prop ":"`.
You can include as much `-p` or `--prop` options as you like within the scanner execution.
