# How do I replace a derived property with a standard property for Rebalance configuration?

You can use [derived properties](/v1/docs/what-is-a-derived-property) to configure instruments in the [Rebalance dashboard](/v1/docs/using-the-rebalance-dashboard) for various purposes, such as designating instruments as:

- [Non-tradeable](/v1/docs/how-do-i-designate-an-instrument-as-nontradeable)
- [Placeholders](/v1/docs/how-do-i-create-a-placeholder-instrument-for-reference-portfolios) for group-level weightings in a reference portfolio

However, you may choose to assign your instruments using a standard [property](/v1/docs/properties) instead of a derived property. This allows you to create a property definition and simply decorate each instrument with that property.

To do this:

1. Navigate to **Data Management > Properties**.
2. Locate the existing derived property, noting the `Domain/Scope/Code` combination. Once noted, delete the derived property. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d575ad81-c0ed-4980-bbd1-d59ac5c3de82/Images/Documentation/image(949).png)
3. Click the **Create property definition** button.
4. Provide the same `Domain`, `Scope`, and `Code` from step 2.
5. Select **Value property** as property type, and **Boolean** as data type. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d575ad81-c0ed-4980-bbd1-d59ac5c3de82/Images/Documentation/image(950).png)
6. [Decorate your designated instruments](/v1/docs/how-do-i-add-a-property-to-an-entity) with the property you’ve created, setting the boolean value to `true`.
