Property Description
GroupComponent
The Capabilities instance.
PartComponent 
A Setting used to define the associated Capabilities instance.
PropertyPolicy 
PropertyPolicy defines whether or not the non-null, non-key properties of the associated 
SettingData instance are treated independently or as a correlated set. For instance, an 
independent set of maximum properties may be defined, when there is no relationship 
between each property. On the other hand, several correlated sets of maximum properties 
may need to be defined when the maximum values of each are dependent on some of the 
others.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Independent
• 1 = Correlated
• 2.. = DMTF Reserved
ValueRange
The ValueRange property indicates further semantics on the interpretation of all non-null, 
non-key properties of the Component SettingData. Minimums, Maximums, and 
Increments, are only evaluated against non-null, non-key, non-enumerated, non-boolean, 
numeric properties of the SettingData instance. Each property of that set is mathematically 
comparable to other instances of that property.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Point — Indicates that this SettingData instance provides a single set of values.
• 1 = Minimums — Indicates that this SettingData instance provides minimum values for 
evaluated properties. When used with PropertyPolicy = 
Independent, only one such 
setting per particular SettingData instance is specified for any Capabilities. Unless 
restricted by a Maximums on the same set of properties, all values that compare higher 
than the specified values are also considered to be supported by the associated 
capabilities instance.
• 2 = Maximums — Indicates that this SettingData instance provides maximum values for 
evaluated properties. When used with PropertyPolicy = Independent, only one such 
setting per particular SettingData instance is specified for any Capabilities. Unless 
restricted by a Minimums on the same set of properties, all values that compare lower 
than the specified values are also considered to be supported by the associated 
capabilities instance.
• 3 = Increments — Indicates that this SettingData instance provides increment values 
for evaluated properties. For the associated Capabilities, if an evaluated property 
currently has no corresponding minimums or maximums, then the property has no 
affect. Otherwise, for each evaluated property: its value x is between the minimum and 
maximum, inclusively, and has the property that both the result of maximum minus x 
and the result of x minus minimum are each an integer multiple of the increment. If 
either minimum or maximum is not specified and the other is, then the missing value is 
respectively assumed to be the lowest or highest supported value for the property's 
data-type. Additionally, if both a minimum and a maximum are specified for an evaluated 
property, then the result of maximum minus minimum is an integer multiple of the 
increment.
• 4.. = DMTF Reserved
ValueRole
The ValueRole property indicates further semantics on the interpretation of the non-null, 
non-key properties of the Component SettingData.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Default — Indicates that property values of the component SettingData instance 
will be used as default values, when a new SettingData instance is created for elements 
whose capabilities are defined by the associated Capabilities instance. Across instances
