The Capabilities instance.

A Setting used to define the associated Capabilities instance.

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

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

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 of settingdata, for particular properties having the same semantic purpose, at most one such settingdata instance is specified as a default.
• 1 = Optimal — Indicates that the SettingData instance represents optimal setting values for elements associated with the associated capabilities instance. Multiple component SettingData instances may be declared as optimal.
• 2 = Mean — Indicates that the non-null, non-key, non-enumerated, non-boolean, numeric properties of the associated SettingData instance represents an average point along some dimension. For different combinations of SettingData properties, multiple component SettingData instances may be declared as Mean.
• 3 = Supported — Indicates that the non-null, non-key properties of the Component SettingData instance represents a set of supported property values that are not otherwise qualified.
• 4.. = DMTF Reserved
