 ```
+`SetAttr` is optional and developer can define their own attributes to control property behavior.
+There're 2 built-in attributes that used by MXNet executor.
 
-After defining the subgraph property, we need to register it.
+`property_name`  : std::string, name of this property.
+
+`inference_only` : bool, apply this property only for inference. Property will be skiped when need_grad=True. Default `false` if this attribute isn't defined.
+
+After defining the subgraph property, we need to register it in .cc file.
 
 ```C++
 MXNET_REGISTER_SUBGRAPH_PROPERTY(SgTest, SgProperty);
 ```
 
-After compiling this subgraph mechanism into MXNet, we can use the environment variable `MXNET_SUBGRAPH_BACKEND` to activate it.
+It's possible to register multiple properties for same backend. In practice, we recommend to put each property definition into .h file, and register backend in single .cc file. Property will be executed according to the register order.
+
+```C++
+#include "SgProperty.h" // Define SgProperty class
+#include "SgProperty2.h" // Define SgProperty2 class
+#include "SgProperty3.h" // Define SgProperty3 class
+
+MXNET_REGISTER_SUBGRAPH_PROPERTY(SgTest, SgProperty);  // Execution order 1.
+MXNET_REGISTER_SUBGRAPH_PROPERTY(SgTest, SgProperty2); // Execution order 2.
+MXNET_REGISTER_SUBGRAPH_PROPERTY(SgTest, SgProperty3); // Execution order 3.
+```
+
+After compiling this subgraph mechanism into MXNet, we can use the environment variable `MXNET_SUBGRAPH_BACKEND` to activate it during symbol bind.
 
 ```bash
 export MXNET_SUBGRAPH_BACKEND=SgTest
 ```
 
+Or you can use python symbol API `get_backend_symbol` to run all properties registered for this backend and get returned symbol.
+
+```Python
+sym, arg_params, aux_params = mx.model.load_checkpoint(prefix, epoch)
+sym = sym.get_backend_symbol('SgTest')
+```
+
+When `SgProperty` is activated, a message will be shown in terminal as
+
+```bash
+start to execute subgraph example pass.
+```
+
 This tutorial shows a simple example of how to use the subgraph API to search for patterns in an NNVM graph.
 Intested users can try different pattern matching rules (i.e., define their own `SubgraphSelector`) and
 attach different operators to execute the subgraphs.
