Initial State	Determines the default state of Property group.

	Expanded	The custom properties assigned to the expanded groups are visible when the Property pane is opened.
	Collapsed	The custom properties assigned to the collapsed groups are not visible when the Property pane is opened. The group of properties needs to be expanded in order to make them visible.

Advanced options:

Group visible based on value of property	Select Property used to control visibility of the selected Property Group.
Property value to set group visible	Define a value that is looked for from the Property selected in the Group visible based on value of property box to control visibility of the selected group.
Example:	A Property selected from the Group visible based on value of property box is desc1 and the value defined in the Property value to set group visible is BASE. The selected Property Group is visible in the Properties pane if the desc1 property's value is BASE, otherwise the selected Property group is not shown in the Properties pane.
