Class Properties

Properties

The properties object acts as the interface to access user, document, or script properties. The specific property type depends on which of the three methods of Properties Service the script called: Properties Service.getDocumentProperties() , Properties Service.getUserProperties() , or Properties Service.getScriptProperties() . Properties cannot be shared between scripts. For more information about property types, see the guide to the Properties service .
