# Generic properties configuration

As stated earlier, each plugin can have one unique setup for generic properties, or you can share the same configuration between different plugins (image/image gallery for example).

For example content-part, our fact box plugin, have one general configuration for the entire plugin.

**Example of generic properties configuration in Writer client config file:**

```
    "propertiesConfig": {
        "showByDefault": [
            "im-ximimage"
        ],
        "properties": [
            {
                "name": "alignment",
                "title": "Alignment",
                "plugins": [
                    "im-imagegallery",
                    "im-ximimage",
                    "im-iframely"
                ],
                "values": [
                    {
                        "title": "Left",
                        "value": "left"
                    },
                    {
                        "title": "Right",
                        "value": "right"
                    },
                    {
                        "title": "Center",
                        "value": "center"
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "name": "effect",
                "title": "Want big text?",
                "plugins": [
                    "im-teaser"
                ],
                "values": [
                    {
                        "title": "Yes box!",
                        "value": "yes"
                    },
...
```

Please, visit the developer section [Creating a content object plugin](/writer/6.3.3/developer-guide/index/bitsandpieces.md) for more input about Generic properties.

The output will look like this for an object using generic properties:

```
<object id="MTI1LDIyNiw3OSw5OQ" type="x-im/image" uuid="5f720706-0f79-531c-be69-55dcb574a90b">
                        <links>
                            <link rel="self" type="x-im/image" uri="im://image/XabjbUPYd8tv-myp4VW4STU--XM.jpg" uuid="5f720706-0f79-531c-be69-55dcb574a90b">
