# Preset Properties and System Fields
TIP
This section will introduce all the built-in properties and system fields in TE. For detailed built-in properties of the platform, please refer to:
Preset properties refer to the properties generated or obtained by TE. All the preset properties, all event properties, start with "#", with their Chinese name and meaning clearly defined. System fields refer to the structure fields in data (e.g., #account_idand #event_time, etc.）, or fields with special usage in the database. Such fields would not be used directly nor indirectly in the analysis model.
Except for the following preset properties, any properties starting with "#" would be defined as illegal fields and could not be stored. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not set the self-defined properties as properties starting with "#". Since all the system fields could not be used as events or user properties and should be uploaded during data ingestion.
Please note that all preset properties except #ip are not recommended to be set manually. It is suggested that you set such properties under the guidance of TE staff to ensure the properties of data on multiple terminals are consistent when the client-side SDK and other transmission modes are used simultaneously.
