SAYMON API allows to add properties with any integer type_id. In some projects or extensions you may wish to use your own IDs to group information or implement specific cases. To avoid any conflicts the first 100 type IDs are reserved for the future needs of SAYMON, while you can use your own IDs starting with value 101. User Specified Property is handled by SAYMON UI in the same way it handles Info Property.
