Description

Each object (derived from CX_CONTAINER ) can have freely definable attributes that can be edited with this module.

Functionality

This window is used to maintain attributes. You can maintain global Insert, change or delete attributes. Additionally you have the possibility to create new local attributes, which are then only valid in this object.

The attribute data can be edited by double-clicking. You can change the order of the attributes with the arrow buttons. You only need to select one attribute in the list and then move it up or down using the buttons. A context menu for editing the attributes is called up by right-clicking.

You can insert attributes of the following types:

• Preset attribute
• Calculated attribute
• Conditional attribute

You can also find more information in the topic Features.
