Object
Properties
Enterprise RTView features
a wide variety of objects. The Object Properties window lists attributes
of the selected object and lets you edit property values. (See Object
Descriptions section for descriptions of each object.)
To open the Object Properties
window, select an object and click the Object Properties button
on the toolbar. In the Object Properties window, you can view and/or edit
the property values of the object selected in the Working Area.
Editing Property Values
Property Names listed in
the first column cannot be changed. Property Values, listed in the second
column, can be set to static values or attached to dynamic data.
Blue text signifies
that a Property Value is static and cannot be attached to a dynamic data
source.
Green text signifies
that a Property Value is currently attached to a dynamic data source and
therefore it is no longer possible to edit this value from the Object Properties
window. See the Attach to Data section specific to your data source
for information on attaching dynamic data.
To remove a data attachment
and resume editing capabilities from the Object Properties window, right-click
on the Property Name (e.g., value) and select Detach from Data from
the popup menu. An object property has been detached from the data source
when the Property Name and Value are no longer green.
Copying
Property Values
Copying and pasting makes
it easy to transfer property values from one object to another.
There are two options for
copying object properties:
|
Copy
All Properties - To copy all object properties, both static properties
and data attachments, select an object and click the Copy button
on the toolbar. |
|
Copy
Single Property - To copy an individual property from the Object Properties
window, right-click on the Property Name and select Copy. To copy
a property from the Edit Function dialog, right-click in a text field and
select Copy. |
There are four options for
pasting object properties:
|
Paste
Data Attachments - To paste only data attachments, select one or more objects
and click on the Paste Data Attachments button
on the toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. NOTE:
Only properties common to both objects will be pasted onto the selected
object(s). |
|
Paste
Static Properties - To paste only the static properties, select one or more
objects and click on the Paste Static Properties button
on the toolbar. NOTE: Only properties common to both objects will
be pasted onto the selected object(s). |
|
Paste
All Properties - To paste all properties, select one or more objects and click
on the Paste All Properties button
on the toolbar. This will paste all static properties as well as
all data attachments. NOTE: Only properties common to both objects
will be pasted onto the selected object(s). |
|
Paste Single Property
- To paste an individual property into the Object Properties window, right-click
on the Property Name and select Paste. The Paste option will only
be enabled if the copied attribute can be set on the selected property
(e.g., data attachments cannot be pasted onto static properties). To paste
a property in the Edit Function dialog, right-click in a text field and
select Paste. |
