Precalculate a property value and store it as an artificial property.
A property value can be referenced by a property path. The property path points to another property by name. The property may be in the same or a different document. The property value's type must be a reference to another document for each of the properties in the path except for the last.
Sample property paths are:
Type→Sort Key
IT Service→IT System→Type
Materializing puts the property value at the end of the path as the value of a property in the referencing document (i.e. the document containing the property path).
