Adding free attributes in Template Editor

You can add free attributes to a template, a row, a value field or a graphical field.

Do the following:

  1. Select and double-click the template, row, value field or graphical field to open the properties dialog.
  2. Click the Free attributes button. The Free Attributes dialog opens.
  3. Add the attributes you want to apply to the selected element. You can add two types of attributes:
    • To add a free attribute defined by your product, work on the Application tab, which is active by default. Select an attribute name from the Name list.

    • To create a new user-defined free attribute, select the User tab, and type a name for the attribute in the Name field.

  4. Depending on the attribute, you can select the value for the attribute from the Value list, or you may have to type a value in the Value field.
  5. Click Add to add a new attribute. The attribute appears in the Properties table of the tab. You can add several attributes by repeating steps 3-5.
  6. Click OK to save the changes, close the dialog and return to the properties dialog.

Once you click OK in the properties dialog, Template Editor applies the free attributes you added to the selected template, row, value field or graphical field.
